TCS (Tax Collected at Source)
5% TCS applies on cumulative remittances exceeding ₹700,000 (~$8,400) in a financial year under India's LRS. This is collected at source during remittance, but is not a final tax. You may claim credit when filing Indian taxes. Confirm cumulative LRS usage with your advisor.
Applies if recipient-side remittances exceed ₹700,000 in FY
IFSC Code Required
An 11-character IFSC code is mandatory for all Indian bank transfers. Double-check this with the recipient's bank branch to prevent failed transactions or delays in crediting the account.
How to Send — Step by Step
Verify Identity & Increase Limit
Link your SSN and complete identity verification in Root to raise your daily sending limit up to $15,000. For $100,000, multiple transfers over several days may be required.
Enter Recipient Details
Input the recipient's full name as per bank records, Indian mobile number, PAN (if required), and correct bank account number and IFSC code. Root currently supports NRO and savings/current accounts.
Enter Amount & Lock Rate
Input $100,000 (via multiple transfers if needed) and review the interbank exchange rate. Confirm the total INR amount before initiating the transfer.
Fund the Transfer
Link your US bank account via ACH or debit card to send funds. Root processes the conversion at the live mid-market rate with no additional markup.
Track Delivery
Monitor the transfer status in-app. Most transfers are credited to the recipient’s Indian bank within 1-4 business days.
Tips for This Transfer
Split $100,000 into multiple transfers if needed to stay within daily limits. After SSN verification, you can send up to $15,000 per day.
Send during active US-India market overlap (7 AM–12 PM EST) for potentially favorable live rates.
Inform the recipient to report the incoming amount accurately in their tax filings, especially if cumulative LRS usage exceeds ₹700,000 this financial year.
Ensure recipient’s bank allows large deposits; some institutions may flag or hold large incoming transfers for compliance checks.
