As an NRI transferring funds from your NRE account to your foreign account, you are generally not required to file Form 15CA and Form 15CB, provided the remittance is within the limits and falls under the Liberalized Remittance Scheme (LRS) of the RBI.
-
Form 15CA: Typically required for payments to non-residents. If the payment is being made to yourself as an NRI and does not involve any income or tax deduction, Form 15CA may not be needed.
-
Form 15CB: This form is a CA certificate confirming tax compliance. If there is no TDS applicable (i.e., no income tax liability on the remittance), Form 15CB is generally not required for transfers from an NRE account.
However, if the amount exceeds the limit specified by the LRS scheme (currently ₹250,000 per year), or if the remittance involves any income subject to TDS, Form 15CA and Form 15CB would be necessary.
To avoid confusion and ensure compliance with all regulations, you can consult your bank or Chartered Accountant for further guidance, especially if your transfer involves multiple payments or exceeds the permissible limit.
