Why Matrix Forex For Remittance

Live interbank rate. No markup.

Most banks add a markup of 1.5% to 3% on top of the interbank rate, and they don't show it as a line item. It's built into the rate you see. Matrix Forex sells at the interbank rate directly.

On a ₹10 lakh tuition payment, that difference alone is usually ₹15,000 – ₹30,000 in your pocket.

Matrix Forex is licensed by the RBI as an Authorised Dealer Category-II (Licence No. NDL-ADII-0023-2023). Every remittance is processed under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme and FEMA, 1999. Funds move through the regulated SWIFT network via our partner banks.

Why People Send Money Abroad

All LRS purposes supported

Under LRS, a resident individual can remit up to USD 250,000 per financial year across any of the permitted purposes below.

Tuition fees and university deposits

Fee payment to a foreign university, accommodation deposits, and confirmation deposits for admission. If your university uses a payment portal, we can remit directly to that portal.

Living expenses for students abroad

Monthly maintenance to a son or daughter studying abroad: rent, groceries, daily costs. Booked under 'studies abroad' purpose code.

Medical treatment abroad

Hospital bills, surgery costs, doctor's estimates, and accompanying-attendant expenses. Foreign hospital estimate documentation needed.

Family maintenance & gifts

Sending money to a close relative living abroad — parent, child, spouse, sibling. Includes gifts under the LRS limit.

Hotel & accommodation paid direct

Paying a foreign hotel, an Airbnb host, or a rental directly from India counts as outward remittance under LRS.

Investments & immovable property

Investments in foreign securities, real estate purchase abroad, or contributions to overseas funds, all within LRS purposes.

LRS, TCS & Eligibility

What you need to know before you transfer

How much can I send in a financial year?

Up to USD 250,000 per resident individual per financial year. This is a combined cap across all LRS purposes — tuition, family support, hotel bookings, and any forex card you load all count toward the same USD 250,000.

Who is eligible?

Any resident Indian individual, including minors (signed by guardian). Companies, partnerships, and trusts have separate FEMA frameworks and use a different remittance window — see Corporate Forex.

Will TCS be deducted from my transfer?

TCS applies above the ₹10 lakh per-FY threshold. The earlier ₹7 lakh threshold is obsolete — it was raised to ₹10 lakh effective FY 2024-25 and continues at ₹10 lakh under Finance Act 2026.

TCS is collected by the AD bank at transfer. It is not a final tax — it appears in your Form 26AS and is adjusted against your final income tax liability when you file your annual return.
