Outward Remittance: When You Send Money from India to A Foreign Country

Inward Remittance: When You Send Money to India from a Foreign Country

Modes of Sending Money to USA from India:

You have two methods to transfer money to USA from India:

1: Wire Transfer from India to USA (Swift Transfers)

2: Demand Drafts (money orders)

What is a Wire Transfer?

Wire-transfer or online wire transfer from India to USA is the easiest and best way to transfer money from India to USA. Though wire transfers online are done by banks, it is cheaper to use the services of companies since like BookMyForex. These online marketplaces will get you a better rate than banks. However, wire-transfers can be expensive. As 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 USD 10 to USD 40. When you send Dollar through a Wire Transfer to US, BookMyForex does not charge anything.

What is a Foreign Currency Demand Draft?

You can send money to USA through foreign currency demand drafts. Demand Drafts are physical paper drafts, issued in a specific foreign currency instead of sending to a specific recipient. Demand draft is much cheaper than a wire-transfer to USA. You have to pay just the demand draft fee to your bank or service provider. There is no need to pay any fee to the foreign bank receiving the money. This helps you save a lot of money.

However, the problem with demand drafts is that the process takes much longer to transfer money to US than when you Send money online to USA. It can take longer for the recipient to receive the money because you have to mail the demand draft physically. Once they receive it, it takes few days to encash the demand draft. The total number of days combined creates a large gap (maximum up to 10 days) in receiving the funds. So, demand drafts work out better if there is no emergency. If you need to transfer money from India to USA on a planned basis with sufficient notice, use demand drafts.
