Which is better: NRE or NRO FD?

NRE FDs are generally better because the interest is 100% tax-free in India and the principal/interest are fully repatriable. NRO FDs are better only if you have Indian income (like rent) that needs to be parked in India.

What is the TDS rate on NRO FD interest?

For NRIs, the TDS rate on NRO FD interest is 30% plus 4% cess, totaling 31.2%. This can be reduced if you claim DTAA benefits.
