This discussion addresses the requirement of filing Form 15CA for sending money abroad, often necessitating a Chartered Accountant (CA). The original poster questions whether they can complete the form themselves to avoid substantial CA fees, which can start around Rs. 1000. Guidance is provided that individuals can indeed file Form 15CA online independently, with a link to the official income tax portal shared for further information.

We are often required to send small amt. of money outside India for payment of some services like lab testing, air freight etc. My Bank requires form 15CA signed by our CA for each transaction. This seems an online application, and my CA charges Heavily for these forms. My querry is that can we not apply/fill this form ourselves? Is it necessary that a CA fills this form? If yes, what should be a normal charge for such. service as per industry standard?
