Discover the pros and cons of each option in our reader-friendly blog post on the best way to send money to India. 

When sending money to India, there is generally no limit on the amount you can transfer, but money transfer service providers, banks, or other financial institutions may have daily transaction limits in place. If you are sending a substantial sum overseas, it's important to note that any transaction of 10,000 USD or more is typically reported to the Internal revenue Service (IRS) by the service provider or bank. 

To remit money to India from the USA without tax implications, it's essential to understand the regulations from both the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and India's taxation authorities. 

IRS Gift Tax: Sending funds to India can be seen as a gift, potentially subject to gift tax by the IRS if there's no exchange of goods or services. Transfers over 10,000 USD must be reported to the IRS. 

Indian Taxation: As an NRI, money transfer to India for family members (blood relations) typically have no tax implications. But for non-blood relatives, amounts over ₹50,000 in a year are taxable for the recipient.
