    Here are some of the exceptions to the TCS rules from October 2023: 

    • If the money is transferred abroad for educational purposes gets exempt from TCS for a maximum limit of INR 7 lakhs. If this amount is increased, then a TCS of 0.5% will be charged on the funds that are provided by a loan. 
    • If the expenses are made or covered by them through different income sources, then it will result in 5% TCS and more if this goes beyond the maximum threshold. 
    • If you failed to provide a PAN card, then it will also impact and result in your TCS rate increase. Furthermore, for the Education loan transfers exceeding the given cap, a TCS rate increase of up to 5%, and regular income sources increase to 10%.
