How long does it take to send money from New York City to Bhubaneswar?
Transfers typically take 1-4 business days to reach bank accounts in Bhubaneswar after processing in New York City. Delays may occur if IFSC details are incorrect or during Indian banking holidays.
Do I need to pay TCS when sending money from NYC to Bhubaneswar?
Yes. Under Indian regulations, 5% TCS applies if the total remittances to India exceed ₹7,00,000 in a financial year. This is collected at source by the Indian bank, not by Root. Recipients in Bhubaneswar should be aware of this if they receive large transfers.

Yes, as long as you have the correct IFSC code and account number. Root supports NRO and regular savings/current accounts in Bhubaneswar. NRE account support is coming soon.
Is my recipient in Bhubaneswar required to have a PAN card?
For transfers above ₹50,000, Indian banks may require the recipient’s PAN for compliance. While not always enforced, providing it helps avoid holdups, especially for larger remittances from New York City.

As of early 2026, there is no U.S. Excise Tax on international wire transfers. A proposed 1% tax on amounts over $0 was not enacted. However, always consult a tax advisor for cross-border implications under FEMA and IRS rules.
