Indians can deposit up to $0.1m in banks abroad
MUMBAI — As part of efforts to flush out excess foreign capital, Reserve Bank has allowed resident Indians to open accounts in banks outside the country and transfer up to $100,000 (about Rs4.1 million) a year in them without its approval.
Individuals can now open, maintain and hold foreign currency accounts with banks outside India, the Reserve Bank said, while clarifying the provisions of the Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS).
The RBI clarification comes on the heels of the Union government tightening External Commercial Borrowings (ECBs) to restrict inflow of foreign capital to prevent appreciation of the Indian currency.
RBI and the Centre have been encouraging people and corporates to invest overseas to tide over the problems created by excessive inflow of foreign capital.
The RBI said under LRS, resident individuals can remit up to $100,000 in a financial year to acquire and hold immovable property, make investment in financial instruments or purchase any other asset without any prior approval.
