First of all you have to state the purpose of transferring the fund from India to your friend. If it is against any services rendered then you have to deduct TDS provided you are covered u/s 44AB otherwise you have to take a certificate for foreign currency remittance to your friend. No tax implication in both the cases if the same is sent from your capital account and if it is from the income earned then regular income tax is to be paid on yearly basis.
