For deposits of 3-4 years and 5 years, it has been hiked to 3.10 per cent and 3.25 per cent, respectively. The previous rates were 2.30 per cent and 2.45 per cent. ICICI Bank has revised upwards FCNR by 0.15 per cent on deposits of higher than and equal to $350,000 for 12-24 months tenure to 3.50 per cent.
