NRIs (Non-Resident Indians) can repatriate up to $1 million per financial year (April to March), from their Non-Resident Ordinary (NRO) accounts after providing appropriate documentation such as a Form 15CA and 15CB. This includes income from pensions, rents, and any other receivables. No limit applies for funds held in Non-Resident External (NRE) or Foreign Currency Non-Resident (FCNR) accounts, as these are fully repatriable. Ensuring compliance with relevant regulations is essential for a smooth transaction process.
