TCS Threshold Reminder
5% Tax Collected at Source (TCS) applies only if total remittances under LRS exceed ₹7,00,000 (~$8,400) in a financial year. A $50 transfer does not trigger TCS. This is a recipient-side rule governed by Indian tax authorities.
applies when annual remittance exceeds ₹7,00,000
IFSC Code Required
An 11-character IFSC code is mandatory for bank transfers to India. Always double-check this code with your recipient's bank to prevent failed or delayed transfers.
NRO Account Support
Root currently supports transfers to NRO and regular savings/current accounts in India. NRE account support is coming soon.
How to Send — Step by Step

Input $50 USD and select Indian Rupees (INR) as the recipient currency. The app will show the estimated INR amount based on current exchange rate.
Add Recipient Details
Provide recipient’s full name, Indian bank account number, and correct IFSC code. Ensure spelling and digits match bank records exactly.

Tips for This Transfer
Time your transfer when USD/INR rates are favorable — even small rate shifts can increase your INR value over repeated $50 sends.
Use Root’s rate alert feature to get notified when the USD to INR exchange rate hits your desired level.
Double-check the IFSC code — a single incorrect digit can delay your $50 transfer by days or cause rejection.
Since TCS applies only after ₹7,00,000 in a financial year, multiple $50 transfers are safe from tax collection at source.
