TCS Threshold Alert
5% Tax Collected at Source (TCS) applies on cumulative remittances exceeding ₹7,00,000 (~$8,400) in a single financial year under India’s LRS. Since this transfer is below that threshold, TCS does not apply, but you should track annual totals if sending more.
applies if total remittances exceed ₹7,00,000 in FY
IFSC Code Required
An 11-digit IFSC code is mandatory for all bank transfers to India. It ensures your ₹CHECK_LIVE reaches the correct bank and branch. Always double-check this code with your recipient to avoid delays or failed transfers.
How to Send — Step by Step
Log in to Your Root Account
Access your Root app or website. If you're new, sign up using your US ID and SSN for full sending limits.
Enter Transfer Details
Select India as the destination, enter $2,000 USD, and provide recipient’s full name, Indian bank name, account number, and IFSC code.
Review Exchange Rate & Confirm Zero Fees
Check the live INR amount you’ll receive based on the interbank rate. Confirm there are no hidden fees — Root charges $0.
Verify Funding Source
Link your US bank account or debit card. First-time users may need to verify identity with SSN for higher daily limits.
Confirm & Send
Review all details, confirm the transfer, and track delivery in real-time. Funds typically arrive in 1–4 business days.
Tips for This Transfer
Check the live rate before sending — timing your transfer during high-liquidity hours (e.g., Asian or US market open) can improve the USD to INR rate.
Since this $2,000 transfer is below the ₹7,00,000 (~$8,400) annual threshold, 5% TCS won’t apply. Keep records if you plan additional transfers this financial year.
Ensure the recipient’s bank accepts international transfers into an NRO or savings account — Root currently supports these, not NRE accounts.
Double-check the IFSC code. Even one incorrect character can delay the transfer or send money to the wrong branch.
