Service tax on money send by NRIs


NEW DELHI: The UPA government has decided to charge 12.36 per cent service tax from July 1 onwards on the fees paid by NRIs sending money to their country.


This service tax will be deducted from the remittances sent by employees, including many poor labourers, from the Gulf, the US and other places. This approach is the antithesis of the Government’s policy of encouraging exporters, who bring foreign exchange to India.


Non-resident Indians transfer more than $65 billion annually to dependents in India. These remittances account for more than 3 per cent of India’s GDP and have been instrumental in reducing the current account deficit by shoring up the country’s foreign exchange reserves.


States such as Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Punjab are among the regions worldwide that depend heavily on international remittance. The share of NRI remittance in the State’s net domestic product is 31 per cent in Kerala, 13 per cent in Punjab and 7 per cent in Tamil Nadu.

      15 dhs for uae(Money exchange)exchange fee
      12.36% of 15dhs =around 2dhs

    People in USA and UK already pay taxes in their residing country and why is that an additional tax? Almost 30 % is reduced from the residing country and now 12.36 more by india government? This is ridiculous.

    Ya , First it confused me also , Currently its 10.3% and will be increased to 12.36% .Its not on the money we send , its applied on the services charge we pay for the money transfer vendors.

    Although we are paying 30 - 33 % tax in our residing countries. If India gov imply and 12.36% tax on the money we send to India no one will send a single penny or cent; do you know each year we (NRI's) send $65 billion to India , Imagine what will happens if it stops suddenly. Any gov will not do that, but the F@@king UPA gov may do that. Then we will say F@@K India.
