Send Money →Why Thane Residents Lose Money on Forex Without Realising It
Thane's demand for foreign exchange has grown with the city. The offices along Ghodbunder Road and around Wagle Industrial Estate send professionals abroad for project work, while families in Thane West, Hiranandani Estate and Naupada fund students at universities in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia.
For all of them, the cost of forex usually sits inside the exchange rate, not in a visible fee. A markup of 2 to 5 percent is built into the rate a bank or exchange quotes. On a 2 lakh rupee order, that is 4,000 to 10,000 rupees gone, with no line item to point to. It is easy to miss when you are booking currency in a hurry before a trip abroad or a semester overseas.
Matrix Forex transacts at the live interbank rate with no markup added. The rate you see in the converter above is the rate at which your transaction is processed. Before any forex transaction, check the mid-market rate on Google and compare it to the rate you are being quoted. The difference is your markup.
Same-Day Forex Delivery Across Thane
Matrix Forex does not run a walk-in branch in Thane. Orders here are fulfilled from the Mumbai branch in Andheri, about 25 to 35 kilometres away, which delivers to Thane Monday to Saturday. Place an order before 2 PM and it reaches you the same day, at home or at your office. You are welcome to visit the Mumbai branch in person, though most customers in Thane order online and take delivery at their door.
Sending Money Abroad from Thane: LRS Rules
The Liberalised Remittance Scheme lets a resident individual send up to USD 250,000, roughly 2 crore rupees, per financial year. It covers travel, education, medical treatment, family support, gifts and investments. Beyond a cumulative 10 lakh rupees in a financial year, tax collected at source applies.
For most purposes it is 20 percent on the amount above 10 lakh. For education and medical treatment it is 2 percent above 10 lakh, and nil when the education is funded by a loan from a recognised institution. Overseas tour packages are charged 2 percent from the first rupee. TCS is not an extra tax. It is adjusted against your income tax when you file your return.
| Purpose | TCS Rate |
|---|---|
| Education (loan-funded) | 0% unchanged |
| Education (self-funded, above ₹10L) | 2% (was 5%) |
| Medical treatment abroad (above ₹10L) | 2% (was 5%) |
| Overseas tour packages | 2% flat |
| Foreign investments (above ₹10L) | 20% unchanged |
