In short, NRIs can transfer significant amounts abroad each year, provided they follow the correct tax and compliance procedures."
RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme and FEMA permit NRIs to repatriate up to USD 1 million (or equivalent) per financial year from NRO accounts. The USD 1 million cap applies to sale proceeds, inherited assets, rental income, and other eligible Indian balances after applicable taxes. Sale proceeds from up to two residential properties purchased with NRE or FCNR funds are exempt from the cap and may be freely repatriated. Repatriation requires settlement of tax liabilities including capital gains tax, obtaining a Chartered Accountant certificate (Form 15CA/15CB), and routing transfers through the NRO account. Banks process transfers only after verifying required documents and clearances.
