    For the repatriation from the NRO account, I have submitted some of the following documents given below: 

     

    1. A request form to start the repatriation process. 
       
    2. Filled A2 Form. 
       
    3. Form 15CA, which is a self-declaration form for the accounts payment information for NRI.  
       
    4. Form 15 CB, which is an acknowledgment form from the CA (Chartered Accountant) that you have paid all the tax on the repatriated money. 


    Make sure you email all the copies of the essential documents, with self-attestation for the approval of the repatriation request.

    Repatriation means the transfer of funds to another country. To transfer funds to a foreign country after becoming an NRI, you need to open an NRO (Non-resident Ordinary), NRE (Non-Resident External), and FCNR (Foreign currency Non-Resident) accounts in India. 
     

    The NRO account is used by the NRIs for the funds earned in India, while the NRE account is used to keep your international income in an Indian savings account.  
     

    In simple words, repatriation is a process to transfer your funds from your NRO account to your account in the residence country into your NRE account.
