Transferring funds from abroad


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
A user inquired about transferring salary earned in Ireland to India. The advice given is that the funds can be directly transferred to an existing Indian savings account, without needing to open an NRE account. Additionally, transferring money from the wife's account to her husband's Indian savings account is permissible and can be declared as a gift, subject to clubbing provisions.

17 May 2024 Dear Sir,

My wife was working in Ireland from Nov 2021 to Nov 2023 and has earned Salary income in her bank account in Ireland. Now she is settled in India from the past 3 months and will be permanently staying in India. She wants to transfer the amount earned in Ireland to India.

My question is whether she needs to open an NRE account here in India to transfer the amount from Ireland or she can directly transfer in her saving account here in India the entire amount in one go. The taxes on income earned in Ireland has already been paid.

Please help me resolve the query.

Regards,
Divyesh Jain

17 May 2024 She can transfer the amount directly to her Indian savings account.
