Both Inward and Outward remittance process must comply with the Government and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) regulations. Compared to Inward Remittance, there is less scope of Outward Remittance in India. The most popular and safest way to send money overseas from Indian banks is through Wire Transfer.

You have to furnish details such as recipient's bank name, address, and account details along with the SWIFT code of the overseas bank. The SWIFT code is a unique identification code and is critical to the entire process of wire transfer. These details will help the bank to determine where the money should be transferred.
