Need advise to send money from India to USA

[mastfun]

Hi Team,

Is there a best possible way to send money from India to USA?

I tried this method and works perfectly:

1. Use RBL Safari Card to transfer money from Paypal India to Paypal USA
2. Use Paypal USA balance to Account.

Will there be any tax implications with new Taxation? Note: RBL Safari doesn't has a forex markup fee!

Thanks,

look for remmitance providers like flywire or banks like dbs have the lowesr remittances rates is what i have heard.
or find someone in usa who wants to remit usd to inr
tell him to pay at your place and you pay at his place
money never crosses borders no markup

Best way would be to buy crytocurency and withdraw that in the US.
Jokes aside, Wise is the most convenient, Bookmyforex(wire transfer) is the cheapest.
I think Paypal has high fees and bad conversion rates. So I'm not sure if it a good option.

Not really exclamation worthy... Also, PayPal charges more than enough fee to compensate (the lack of markup) and then some.

Found a better way
1. I used Safari Card to Load Skrill wallet
2. Skrill wallet to bank with no fees

RBL charged me 83.32 per dollar which is dynamic and better conversion rate!

RBL Transaction Log:





No fees or what's so ever! Isn't this good way to convert?

Wise take 983 for the same

Dukascopy is another multi currency bank.

Thanks I meant $5k or $10k USD. Also, curious how they handle TCS above ₹7L.

I agree, it’s better to use remittance providers like BookMyForex or any other similar platform available online for that matter. I have used BookMyForex twice to send money to my sister in the USA.

My experience was pretty ok, money got transferred within 1-2 days but rates were impressive. TCS will only be charged if you are sending more than 7 lacs in a year, depending on the purpose.
