Quick Summary

Transactions typically require using a registered person and obtaining prior permission from the RBI, with funds managed through a Non-Resident External account. While specific amount restrictions exist, seeking expert advice is highly recommended due to the complex interplay of RBI, banking, and FEMA provisions.
