β What is Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS) ?
β Under LRS (introduced in 2004), Indian individuals can send money outside up to a maximum of $250,000 in a year.
β Aim: LRS simplifies the process of remitting money outside India and encouraging foreign investments by Indian individuals.
β Permissible transactions: education, travel, medical treatment, gifting, investment in shares or property, etc.
β Non-Permissible transactions: Trading in foreign exchange or buying lottery tickets.
β LRS is not available to Corporations, partnership firms, Hindu Undivided Family (HUF), Trusts etc.
β Benefits of LRS: Individuals can diversify their investments and assets, and also provides an opportunity to finance their foreign education or travel.
β Issues: Outward remittances can add pressure to the forex reserves of the country and therefore the government has proposed a 20% Tax Collection at Source (TCS) for any foreign remittance transactions in FY24.
