TCS (Tax Collected at Source)
5% TCS applies if the total remittances under LRS exceed ₹7,00,000 (approx. $8,400) in a financial year. Since this transfer is below that threshold, TCS does not apply unless you've already exceeded the limit earlier in the year.
Applies only if cumulative remittances exceed ₹7,00,000 in FY
IFSC Code Requirement
An 11-digit IFSC code is mandatory for all bank transfers to India. Double-check the code with your recipient's bank — incorrect IFSC codes cause failed or delayed transfers.
How to Send — Step by Step
Log in to Root
Access your Root account via the app or website. Ensure your identity is verified and your SSN is linked if sending over $2,999.
Start a New Transfer
Select 'Send Money' and choose India as the destination country. Enter $3,000 USD as the amount you'd like to send.
Enter Recipient Details
Provide recipient's full name, Indian bank account number, and correct IFSC code. Confirm they have an NRO or savings/current account (NRE support is coming soon).
Review Exchange Rate & Amount
Check the live INR amount you’ll send (based on CHECK_LIVE interbank rate). Root displays the total with zero hidden fees.
Confirm & Send
Confirm all details and authorize the transfer. Root will notify you once the money is delivered to the recipient's bank.
Tips for This Transfer
Send early in the week to avoid weekend delays — transfers initiated Wednesday or earlier typically arrive by Friday.
If you plan to send more than ₹7,00,000 ($8,400) this financial year, track your total to anticipate 5% TCS on the excess amount.
Ask your recipient to verify their IFSC code using their bank’s official website or passbook to prevent errors.
Root locks in the exchange rate at the time of transfer — send when the USD to INR rate is favorable to maximize value.
