Transfering money to India

Jan 31, 2006 1 Replies

Hello,



I run a small company who is working with a company based in India. In the next couple of weeks, I need to transfer a small amount of money to a bank account in India to pay this company for services. The company will invoice me, and I need to transfer money across to their bank account.



Has anybody any experience in transfers to India. What is the best method of doing this, and what are the likely charges going to be.



Also, is there anything I need to take care of other than having an invoice from them and having the electronic transfer going from my business account to the Indian account? I don't want to fall foul of any money transfer laws, regulations or taxes.



My business account (where the money is going to come from) is Natwest.



My thanks in advance for the advice.



I transfer money online these days. I use ICICI bank but do a google on money transfer to India and you will find lot more websites. Most allow you to do a electronic transfer from your account. Be aware that most Indian banks will sit on your money for days sometimes.
