Sending Money To India? Here's A Step-By-Step Guide

Sending money to India has become easier than ever.

Robust digital infrastructure, availability of multiple options and the online mode have accelerated the process. Here are the steps to follow.

Choose the mode

You can send money through a bank, money transfer agents and even through specialised apps. Choose the preferred mode.

Check the charges

Remitting money might incur remittance charges or interest on the amount sent. Compare and check the charges and try to keep them minimal.

Recipient details

Enter the details of the person receiving the money in India. Provide name, bank account number and other details as required.

Making payments

The last step is to pay the amount. You can pay online, offline, through cards or digital payment modes. 

An NRI bank account is also a good choice. Open a joint account with a resident and transfer money from abroad, which can be withdrawn in India quickly.
