Modi’s Ireland and US Visit – A Brief Review

10/21/2015 03:47:00 AM

The recent visit by Narendra Modi to Ireland and the US was an important one on several counts. It started with a bilateral meeting on 23rd September with the Taoiseach (Prime Minister in Irish) of Ireland – Enda Kenny. Following the talks, Modi left for New York. He reached New York the next day and attended the UN Sustainable Development Summit. The importance of the summit can be gauged from the fact that it was attended by 150 leaders from across the world. He also got a chance to address the gathering. The Indian Prime Minister also hosted a meeting of G4 leaders with the other countries such as Japan, Germany and Brazil.

You have to be honest to yourself

Went through a brilliant article by Sanjay Manjreker in which he has written about MSD's limitations. Recently, while shooting a TV commercial with Mahendra Singh Dhoni, I got a chance to pick his brains. I asked him, "What do you think was the one single reason for your outstanding success as a sportsman?"

He said, "You have to be honest to yourself."

I was slightly disappointed with the answer. I thought it was a lazy response to a question he has been asked many times.But then he went on to elaborate on what he meant. He said, "You have to be honest about your own ability. Had I tried to make a career in another sport, I would not have been successful. I knew my limitations as an athlete, and with those limitations I was reasonably confident of achieving some degree of success in this sport."

People who know Dhoni well and have played alongside him also tell me he is very honest about his limitations - even in the sport of his choosing. He never aspired to be the best batsman in the world or the best wicketkeeper in the world; he just kept it real. If you wonder why he did not bat higher up the order as much as he might have done, perhaps there is a clue there: maybe he thought he was not cut out to bat at those positions.

Non-Resident Ordinary (NRO)

You are a citizen of India. You work here, and you have a good income. Now suppose, you want to move to a foreign country (for whatever purpose) (meaning you are going to be an NRI). Then what will you do to for your Indian earnings, like rent, dividends? Or may be you want to send remittances from foreign country. Then the handy account for you is Non-Resident Ordinary (NRO) Rupee Account.

The balance maintained in this type will be Rupee (INR) dominated. You can open Savings, Current, Fixed, Term - types of account.

Non-Resident External (NRE)

You are already an NRI. You have foreign currency with you. You can open this type of NRE Account. Note that you have to deposit foreign currency while opening this account (can use traveler's cheque or notes).

The balance will be maintained in Rupee (INR). This will facilitate mostly in your remittances to India. You have several options or opening Savings, Current, Fixed, Term accounts.

Foreign Currency Non-Resident Bank (FCNR(B))

This is another type of account for NRIs and almost similar to NRE account. However there are some major differences -

You can only maintain your FCNR(B) account in foreign currencies (like, Pound, Dollars, Euro, Yen, etc)
Only one type of deposit is allowed - term deposit of 1 to 5 year maturity.

Now, try to compare these three types of accounts -
