This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
Generally, Form 15CA is required when sending money from India to a foreign hotel. However, there are specific exemptions under Rule 37BB of the Income Tax Rules. These exemptions often cover travel-related expenses for tourism, business, medical treatment, or education, as well as employee business travel and overseas operating expenses for Indian companies.

03 October 2025 If payment made to foreign hotel then 15CA required to file or not??

03 October 2025 Yes, Form 15CA is generally required to be filed when making payments from India to a foreign hotel, as this is considered a remittance to a non-resident under the Income Tax Act. However, there are exceptions under Rule 37BB of the Income Tax Rules—if the payment falls under the list of specified remittances exempt from reporting, then Form 15CA is not needed.

Rule 37BB Exemptions Relevant to Hotel Payments
Travel-related expenses, including foreign hotel bookings for purposes such as tourism, business travel, medical treatment, education, or pilgrimage, are generally exempt from Form 15CA filing under Rule 37BB.

Payments for business travel of employees or operating expenses of Indian companies conducting business abroad also fall under the exemption.

Booking of passages abroad with airline companies, travel under the basic travel quota, and overseas spending related to medical treatment and study (including hostel expenses) are covered under the exemption list.
