The beneficiary can start a wire transfer request using this new facility, provide online declarations and documentation, lock in exchange rates in advance, and monitor the progress of the transaction. According to an ICICI Bank press release, “Through this facility, accurate information related to the beneficiary, purpose of the inward remittance and declaration, where required, are captured in advance and shared with the remitter instantly. This facilitates seamless processing of the remittance and saves time of the beneficiary who can use this facility for various purposes of remittances including family maintenance and savings, personal gift / financial support, NRE/ NRO repatriation, salary, business and management consultancy.”
For NRI customers you can also place a request to book a deposit (FCNR/NRE/NRO)
