-
Plan remittances across financial years: transfer up to $250,000 per year, starting after April 1st (Indian financial year start).
-
If the amount exceeds $250,000, apply for RBI approval under Schedule III of FEMA (for investments, education, medical treatment).
-
Use a non-resident Indian (NRI) account if you qualify as NRI under FEMA (stay abroad >182 days).

Gifts are also subject to LRS limits; the recipient may face tax implications and the sender still counts against their limit.

Business accounts for individuals are treated as personal under FEMA if the individual is the beneficial owner; the limit still applies.
