    E Bank and depositor share equally Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    FCNR accounts are protected against forex rate risks (changes in the value of rupee vis-a-vis the currency in which the account is denominated) as they are maintained in a foreign currency. In other words, the principal and the interest are transferred in the currency in which the account is maintained sans any loss of exchange. The forex risk is therefore absorbed by the bank.
