Tax and sending money to india

Is it NRO account, if not, first convert it to NRO.

Hello, thanks for your reply. 

I visited ICICI bank in Toronto and they are saying I have to be present if want to add my dad as joint holder. 

What if I transfer this remittance money to BOB account that he is having currently? Will that be taxable? 

Your statments are contradicting; first you said BOB acc is my account, now you say BOB acc is his account.Though its joint account, but who is the primary holder and who is joint holder. If you are joint holder, is your status converted to NRI joint holder?

Any reply to your query requires all this aspects to be checked.

There is no restriction to send money to this joint account, but while repling to any query from IT/RBI, you should be clear.
