Remit Money from India with BookMyForex
Sending money abroad from India is now routine. Under the RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme, outward remittances have grown from under 10 billion dollars a few years ago to close to 30 billion a year. Behind that figure are parents paying college fees, NRIs moving savings, firms settling overseas bills, and families supporting relatives abroad.
For years, a bank branch was the only way. That meant queues, forms filled by hand, and a rate the bank set with a margin of its own. On a large transfer, that gap can cost tens of thousands of rupees. BookMyForex was built to close that gap. Compare live interbank rates online or on the app, and lock one in before you pay.
Finish your KYC and paperwork without a branch visit. Every transfer runs through RBI-authorised partner banks and stays fully FEMA-compliant. Funds usually reach the recipient the same or next business day, with the rate and fees shown before you confirm.

How Money Transfer from India Works
Every transfer from India follows the same broad path, online or on the app. You pick the currency and amount, see the live rate, and lock it in for up to three working days. Next, you enter your PAN and address, add the recipient's bank details, and upload your documents. This includes your KYC and an A2 cum LRS form. Nothing needs a branch visit.
Once your papers are checked, the transfer is routed through an RBI-authorised partner bank over the SWIFT network. It reaches the recipient's account in local currency, usually the same or next business day. The bank details vary by country, such as an ABA number for the US, a sort code for the UK, and an IBAN across most of Europe.

Great experience with BMF. Got my forex card and currencies within 12 hours. Heard about them from a friend, and they delivered super quick. Will definitely recommend!
My forex request was expedited and processed within just one day, which was truly impressive. It's rare to see such prompt service and genuine customer focus.
What stood out most was the lightning-fast delivery, my card arrived much earlier than expected! Loading foreign currency was easy, and the exchange rates were very competitive.
Bookmyforex is the only platform for my travel currency needs. I have been using this for about 8-9 years and the service is really good. The delivery of the cards/notes is very smooth and quick.
Booked it last night, got the delivery before mid-day today. Have never seen a better delivery than this before!
The delivery partner was very helpful and accommodative. I wasn't in town but he called to ensure that he delivers the card as soon as I'm in my designated location. No fuss at all.
