There are mainly two types of remittance, which are named inward remittance and outward remittance, which depend on the transaction purpose. Both taxes are subject to the FEMA regulations and made through an authorized and verified dealer. 

  • Inward Remittance: This remittance means that you have received the receipt of money in your home country from another nation. Inward remittance is used when funds are sent from one country to another. It can be added, but it is not limited to the businesses, organizations, and individuals who are located in the home country. The money you receive from these sales is known as inward remittances. 
  • Outward Remittance: it means that the money you sent from India to another country, which can be used for personal purposes, like for better educational facilities, medical treatment, travel, investments, donations, importing goods, and services.

      Here are some of the common challenges of cross-border transactions that can have an impact on the receiver and sender. 

      • The transaction cost is way more than the actual cost. These are most of the common challenges which faced by many. There are different transaction costs based on the trades and relations with other countries, which can be different. 
      • The processing time is also a common challenge faced by cross-border remittances. The time taken between the processes of the senders and receivers can lead to a positive gain or a negative gain. 
      • The currency values are changing rapidly, which can be a challenge for cross-border remittance to get the updated currency value. 
      • You need to follow all the rules and regulations while doing a cross-border remittance between countries.
