NRIs in San Jose are not restricted by India’s LRS limit of USD 250,000 — that applies to Indian residents sending abroad. Root allows high-value transfers; however, individual transactions may require additional verification for amounts over $10,000.

Why is the IFSC code important for sending money to Nagpur?

The IFSC code uniquely identifies the recipient’s bank branch in Nagpur. An incorrect IFSC can cause failed or misrouted transfers, delays, and return processing time. Always confirm the code with your recipient or bank website.
