TDS on maturity for KVP

[sunny23m]

I had invested in KVP (kisan vikas patra) around 2004 and they are soon going to mature.

I am an NRI right now and wondering where can I deposit the maturity amount.
Ideally I would like to invest the money to buy an apartment.

Do I have to open a NRO account to deposit this? Will the bank deduct TDS and on the whole amount?
