Some other features of this channel are-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The remitter and the beneficiary must be individuals and the channel is primarily for personal remittances. However, financial trade transactions are permitted under certain exceptions.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There are no limits on the number or amount of transactions that can be made but trade-related remittances of up to INR 15 lakhs are permitted.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The remittances can be made directly credited into the bank account of the beneficiary and no cash disbursements are allowed. You can learn about <a href=\"https:\/\/fly.finance\/blog\/money-transfer\/how-foreign-remittance-works\/\"><strong>how foreign remittances work<\/strong><\/a> here.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If a bank account of the beneficiary does not have any tie-up with a non-resident exchange house, then inward remittances with a bank other than Category 1 can be made through IMPS, NEFT or other electronic means under RDA. These <a href=\"https:\/\/fly.finance\/blog\/money-transfer\/best-banks-in-india-for-inward-remittance\/\"><strong>best Indian Banks for inward remittances<\/strong><\/a> provide excellent services.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-a-money-transfer-service-scheme-mtss\"><span id=\"what-is-a-money-transfer-service-scheme-mtss\">What is a Money Transfer Service Scheme (MTSS)?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Money Transfer Service Scheme (MTSS) is similar to the Rupee Drawing Arrangement of transferring personal funds from abroad to beneficiaries in India. Under this scheme, trusted overseas companies (Overseas Principals) partner with agents in India (Indian Agents). These agents disburse the funds to recipients in India, at the ongoing exchange rates in the forex market.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An Overseas Principal is a company registered and licensed by the Central Bank or government in its home country to conduct Money Transfer Activities. The country where the Overseas Principal is registered must comply with AML (anti-money laundering) regulations. Additionally, the Overseas Principal needs authorization from the Reserve Bank of India, under the Payment and Settlement Systems Act of 2007, to start or operate a payment system.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-pale-ocean-gradient-background has-background\"><strong>Also Read: Explore the <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/fly.finance\/blog\/education-loan\/faqs-on-restructuring-scheme-of-rbi\/\"><strong>RBI Restructuring 2.0 Scheme FAQs<\/strong><\/a><strong>: eligibility, loan types, application process, credit score impact and more.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-features-of-money-transfer-service-scheme\"><span id=\"features-of-money-transfer-service-scheme\">Features of Money Transfer Service Scheme<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some of the features of the Money Transfer Service Scheme-&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Inward personal remittances like funds towards family maintenance and remittances favouring foreign tourists visiting India are permitted under the MTSS.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Remittances such as charity, donations, trade-related remittances, remittances towards the purchase of property, investments or credits to NRE accounts are strictly prohibited under this channel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The number of thirty transactions can be received by an individual beneficiary in a calendar year of up to USD 2,500.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unlike RDA, remittances of up to INR 50,000 are allowed in cash.
