AI 告诉印度居民通过简单的银行转账向国外汇款,未提及印度储备银行(RBI)自由汇款计划(LRS)每财年 25 万美元的限额
AI tells an Indian resident to send money abroad via a simple bank transfer without mentioning RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS) limit of $250,000 per financial year
ID: banking/india-lrs-remittance-250k
根因分析
根据印度储备银行(RBI)的自由汇款计划(LRS),印度居民每个财年(4 月至 3 月)最多可汇款 25 万美元用于允许的资本和经常账户交易;超出此限额需要事先获得 RBI 批准,银行会自动拒绝或标记超出上限的交易。
English
Under RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS), Indian residents can remit up to $250,000 per financial year (April-March) for permissible capital and current account transactions; exceeding this limit requires prior RBI approval, and banks automatically reject or flag transactions above the cap.

-
Plan remittances in advance to stay within the $250,000 annual limit; use Form A2 (available at any authorized dealer bank) for each transaction and ensure cumulative tracking. Example: If you need to send $300,000, split it as $250,000 in FY2024-25 and $50,000 in FY2025-26, with proper documentation for each
-
For amounts exceeding $250,000, apply for RBI approval under the LRS by submitting a detailed application through your bank, including purpose, source of funds, and supporting documents; approval takes 4-8 weeks and is not guaranteed
-
Use alternative investment routes like the Overseas Direct Investment (ODI) scheme for business purposes, which has separate limits and reporting requirements; consult a CA (Chartered Accountant) for compliance

The limit resets on April 1, but any amount exceeding the current year's cap is still non-compliant; you must wait for the new financial year and ensure the total does not exceed $250,000 in that year as well
