There are certain risks of repatriation that you need to be aware of: 

  • Taxation risk: if you fail to pay your taxes before the due dates, then your transfer of funds to NRE of any foreign accounts then ot can be can be held, and cause trouble in the transfer of funds. If you mention something wrong or incorrect sections at the time of funds repatriation, then it can result in tax compliance issues. 
  • Geo-political tension: Geo-political tensions are the reason for the weak connections and no trades between the two countries, which can also impact your funds of repatriation from your NRO account to a foreign country account due to these circumstances. 
  • Regulatory risk: Every nation has its own set of rules and regulations for the transfer of funds to a foreign account. For every individual, they must follow all the rules and regulations. For example, the repatriation limit for a financial year is up to 1 million USD.  
  • Currency Risk: The transfer of funds to an NRO account to a foreign account results in the change of Indian currency to the foreign currency, which can be a loss due to changes in the currency rates.
