TCS Applies on Remittances Over ₹7,00,000 Annually
If the recipient in India has already received more than ₹7,00,000 (~$8,400) under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS) in this financial year, 5% Tax Collected at Source (TCS) will apply on the full $50,000 transfer. This is collected by the Indian bank or authorized dealer upon receipt. You should inform the recipient so they can plan for tax implications.
Applies if cumulative LRS remittances > ₹7,00,000 in FY
IFSC Code Is Required
An 11-character IFSC code is mandatory for all bank transfers to India. Incorrect or missing IFSC codes are a leading cause of failed or delayed transfers. Verify it directly with the recipient’s bank before sending.
PAN May Be Required by Indian Bank
Indian banks may require the recipient’s PAN card for transactions above ₹50,000. For a $50,000 transfer (approx. ₹41.5 lakh), providing PAN details helps ensure smooth compliance and prevents rejection.
How to Send — Step by Step
Log In and Select India as Destination
Access your Root account and choose India as the recipient country. Enter $50,000 as the amount to send.
Enter Recipient Bank Details
Provide the full name, account number, and correct IFSC code. Root currently supports NRO and regular savings/current accounts in India. NRE support is coming soon.
Verify Funding Method and SSN
Since $50,000 exceeds daily limits, ensure your account is upgraded with your SSN to access the $15,000 daily limit tier. You’ll need to make multiple transfers over consecutive days if required.
Review Exchange Rate and Zero Fees
Confirm you’re receiving the mid-market rate with no hidden fees. The total INR amount will reflect current market pricing (CHECK_LIVE).
Confirm and Send
Complete identity verification if prompted. Authorize each batched transfer. Funds typically arrive in 1-4 business days per batch.
Tips for This Transfer
Plan multiple transfers: Root’s maximum daily send limit is $15,000 with SSN. Send $15,000 over three days and the remaining $5,000 on the fourth day to complete the $50,000 transfer.
Notify the recipient to expect 5% TCS deduction if their total LRS remittances exceed ₹7,00,000 this financial year. They may need to file Form 26QB or claim credit later.
Send during weekday market hours (EST) for the most competitive mid-market rate. Avoid holidays in both the US and India.
Double-check the IFSC code using the Reserve Bank of India’s official IFSC lookup or through the recipient’s bank app to prevent failed transactions.
