Foreign Inward and Outward Remittances in India
Foreign inward and outward remittances play a key role in international trade, education, investment, and cross-border personal transactions. These transactions are governed by the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 and the regulatory framework issued by the Reserve Bank of India under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme.
i Tax GST Filing assists businesses and individuals in managing foreign remittance transactions in a compliant and structured manner, ensuring that all applicable regulatory and reporting requirements are met.
What Are Foreign Inward and Outward Remittances?
Foreign Inward Remittance
Foreign inward remittance refers to funds received in India from outside the country. These inflows may arise from export proceeds, foreign investments, salary transfers from abroad, or remittances sent by non-resident Indians. Such transactions contribute to foreign exchange inflows and must be reported and recorded in accordance with regulatory guidelines.
Foreign Outward Remittance
Foreign outward remittance refers to funds transferred from India to another country. These transfers are commonly made for purposes such as education, travel, business payments, investments, or medical expenses. Outward remittances are regulated under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme and must follow prescribed limits, documentation, and reporting procedures.
