Why it matters
NRI deposit inflows rose sharply, with FCNR(B) cited as the main driver, while NRE inflows fell sharply during April-July in the available reporting. The snippet does not give exact amounts, so the scale beyond the near seven-fold jump is not stated. The immediate implication is a shift in the mix of NRI banking deposits, which could affect banks' funding profiles.
