Enter Recipient’s Bank Details
Provide the recipient’s full name, Indian mobile number, bank name, account number, and IFSC code. Double-check the IFSC to avoid delays.
Pro tip: Most branches of SBI and HDFC in Ranchi and Dhanbad have unique IFSC codes — verify them on the bank’s official website.
Choose Account Type and Confirm Compliance
Select NRO or regular savings/current account. NRE support is coming soon. Confirm the purpose of transfer is permitted under FEMA guidelines.
Pro tip: Avoid using terms like 'investment' or 'property purchase' in the purpose field unless submitting proper documentation.
Review Exchange Rate and Confirm Transfer
Root displays the interbank exchange rate and total INR amount. Confirm the transfer — no hidden fees apply.

Local Tips
Recipients in Ranchi or Bokaro often prefer HDFC or SBI accounts — ensure you have the correct IFSC for their specific branch.
