Modes of Sending Money to UK from India:

You have two ways to transfer money from India to UK:

1: Wire Transfer Online to UK (Swift Transfers)

2: Demand Drafts (money orders)

What is a Wire Transfer?

Wire transfer is the easiest and the best way to transfer money from India to abroad. In spite of the fact that banks can facilitate wire transfers to UK, it is cheaper to use the services of online platforms like BookMyForex. These online marketplaces will get you a better rate than banks when you do a wire transfer online to UK. However, wire transfers can be expensive. Banks in India charge anywhere from Rs. 500 to Rs. 1000 to process it. Moreover, most foreign banks that receive the money also charge a foreign correspondent fee ranging from GBP 10 to GBP 40. With BookMyForex, there are no hidden fees when it comes to transferring money from India to UK and you only pay a minimal transfer fee. You can do a wire transfer at guaranteed best forex rates with BookMyForex.

What is a Foreign Currency Demand Draft?

This could be a good option if you are looking to send money to UK from India. Demand drafts are physical paper drafts issued in foreign currencies. Demand Drafts in foreign currencies are accepted at banks in the UK and can be encashed there. The process of transferring money to UK via demand drafts takes much longer than it does through wire transfer.

Factors to consider when sending money from India to UK

1) When it comes to remittances, exchange rates play an imperative role. There is constant fluctuation in exchange rates; you might decide to make a transfer at one rate, but the actual transfer takes place at a much higher rate. Whenever you send money abroad, make sure the rates are not higher than average. It is better if you use a platform like BookMyForex that allows you to lock in your rates.

2) It is best to use a service provider that offers transparent rates and only processes remittances through authorized banks. BookMyForex charges a minimal transfer fee of Rs. 225 + GST for transfers to UK from India. The remittances are carried out only through trusted banks in India and we also offer attractive discounts on money transfers.

3) It is crucial to choose a money transfer service provider that has a reliable customer support team to guide you through the whole process of making a money transfer. We at BookMyForex are there to guide you through the money transfer process as well as help you if something happens wrong during the process.

BookMyForex's website or app enables you to complete the wire transfer process quickly without ever having to leave the comfort of your home. Generally, it takes between 12 and 48 business hours for remittances made via wire transfer to UK to be successful.

As per RBI guidelines, outward remittances are not permitted in high-risk countries indicated by FATF (Financial Action Task Force). The list gets updated from time to time. For more information please refer to the information available on Fatf-gafi.org

Your online transaction on BookMyForex.com is processed over a secure HTTPS connection and secured with the highest levels of encryption available.

According to the new rule, a 5% TCS (Tax collected at source) will be applicable on all remittances crossing INR 7 lakh under RBI’s Liberalized Remittance Scheme (LRS). The TCS on forex transactions became effective from October 1, 2020. 

 

One of the main things to note here is that TCS (Tax collected at source) will apply only to the amount over INR 7 lakh in a fiscal year and not on the total amount. For example, if you transfer INR 9 lakh in a financial year, TCS will apply to the extra INR 2 lakh at a rate of 5%, and hence it will draw a tax of INR 10,000.

 

For remittances that carry the purpose of overseas education, TCS will apply at a rate of 0.5%, only in the case if the amount remitted is originating through a loan from a financial institution. For example, let’s say that the total amount is INR 12 lacs. TCS at 0.5% will be applicable on Rs. 5,00,000 (Amount after Rs. 7 lac is taken into account) & tax collected in this case will be Rs. 2,500.
