Optimist3 said:RBI Guidelines are for local DDs only. Not for foreign currency DDs. They have done this for local DDs as people are converting black money in DDs and are trading in them by endorsement. My DD very clearly states it is 6 months. As far as my knowledge goes, all international/foreign currency DDs are valid for 6 months, issued in any country. The main reason being, some DDs take 1-2 months just for clearing, in case they dont have a tie-up with a local bank in the country where there is a local bank tie-up.
For ICICI, they have tie-up with Montreal bank. Hence, DD gets encashed in 2-3 days time. So, you might be in a safe zone.
Which Bank is ur DD ?
