Best bank account for inward remittance

[WhoU]

I have HDFC salary and BOB savings account. I get RSUs and ESPPs and sell them to get money in my Indian account.

I use inward remittance quite often and HDFC is a pain with calling RM and asking them to get approval for better rates etc.

Do you guys have experience with this? Which bank gives best inward remittance rate with no manual process involved?

I can help if you want 🙂

Finally got around to fixing it. Sorry, it took so late.

Tell your HDFC Imperia RM to give better rates.
I have imperia and for USD and GBP inward remittance, I get about 10 paise lower than interbank rate (XE) and likewise for outward remittance, I get 10 paise higher than XE interbank rate.

If not imperia, then you should use Indian overseas bank and pnb as they have the best forex card rates applicable to all their customers.

How do you get your RM to do that? I have an Imperia account but my RM is useless. She is repeating the same thing that you will be getting the rates as seen on Google.

They will give you lower rates and put other charges , to increase overall fees.

I had an Imperia account, its useless.

Some person on some other thread mentioned that PSU banks don't provide FIRC. Do you have any experience of getting FIRC from IOB?

How did you open the salary account? Was it online or after going to the branch?

And did you negotiate the exchange rate before you opened the account?
