Documentation & Verification

To initiate a transfer, essential documents such as the remitter's PAN card, the student's university offer letter, and basic KYC documents are required. These steps ensure regulatory compliance and secure processing.

RBI Transfer Limit

Tax Implications

Per the 2020–21 Union Budget amendments, transfers exceeding Rs. 7 lakh are subject to Tax Collected at Source (TCS). For general remittances, a 5% TCS is applied on amounts above this threshold.
