5% TCS Applies on Annual Remittances Over ₹7,00,000
If the recipient in India has received more than ₹7,00,000 (approx. $8,400) in a financial year (April-March) under LRS, 5% Tax Collected at Source (TCS) will be deducted. This rule applies to the total outbound amount reported—Root will not deduct TCS, but Indian banks may require compliance. Keep records for tax filings.
Applies when cumulative remittances to India exceed ₹7,00,000 in a financial year
IFSC Code Required for All Transfers
Ensure the recipient’s 11-character IFSC code is correct—any error can delay or cancel the transfer. Root validates IFSC codes in real-time to prevent mistakes. Confirm details with your recipient before sending.
Mandatory for all bank transfers to India
NRO Account Support Only (NRE Coming Soon)
Root currently supports transfers to NRO and regular savings/current accounts in India. NRE account transfers are not yet enabled but will be supported soon. Confirm your recipient’s account type before initiating the transfer.

How to Send — Step by Step
Download Root & Verify Identity
Sign up on the Root app or website. Verify your identity using your SSN and US passport or driver’s license. This one-time process enables higher transfer limits.
Add Recipient’s Indian Bank Account
Enter the beneficiary’s full name, Indian bank account number, and correct IFSC code. Root validates the account and IFSC instantly to ensure accuracy.
Enter Amount: $10,000 USD
Input $10,000 in the send field. Root displays the estimated INR amount at the live interbank rate with zero markup and no hidden fees.
Review Exchange Rate & TCS Notice
Check the final rate and total INR to be delivered. Confirm that you understand if TCS may apply based on the recipient’s annual inflow (if over ₹7,00,000).
Confirm Funding Method
Link your US bank account via ACH or use a linked debit card. ACH transfers are free but may take 1-2 days to fund; debit cards may incur bank charges.
Send & Track Transfer
Confirm the transfer. You’ll receive real-time updates via email or app notifications. Funds typically arrive in 1-4 business days.
Tips for This Transfer
Time your transfer when USD/INR rate is favorable—use Root’s rate alerts to lock in high values during market peaks.
If this $10,000 pushes the recipient over ₹7,00,000 in annual inflows, they may face 5% TCS—plan the timing across financial years (April-March) to minimize tax impact.
Ensure the recipient has their PAN card handy—Indian banks may ask for it to comply with RBI reporting rules for large inflows.
Use your SSN to upgrade your Root account for a $15,000 daily limit—required for smooth $10,000 transfers without split transactions.
