TCS does not apply to this transfer
5% Tax Collected at Source (TCS) applies only when cumulative outward remittances exceed ₹7,00,000 (~$8,400) in a financial year under India's LRS. Since this is a $200 transfer, no TCS is triggered. Keep track if you're nearing the threshold across multiple transfers.
applies only above ₹7,00,000 annual total
IFSC Code Required
An 11-digit IFSC code is mandatory to route your transfer to the correct bank branch in India. Double-check it with your recipient — incorrect IFSC codes cause failed or delayed transfers.

Even at $200, verify the recipient’s IFSC code; small errors lead to major delays.
Track your annual total remittances if planning larger future transfers — TCS applies only after ₹7,00,000 (~$8,400) in a financial year (April-March).
