As per the RBI website, with the Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS), all resident individuals, including minors, are allowed to freely remit up to USD 2,50,000 per financial year (April โ March) for any permissible current or capital account transaction or a combination of both.
Further, resident individuals can avail of foreign exchange facility for the purposes mentioned in Para 1 of Schedule III of FEM (CAT) Amendment Rules 2015, dated May 26, 2015, within the limit of USD 2,50,000 only.
The Scheme was introduced on February 4, 2004, with a limit of USD 25,000. The LRS limit has been revised in stages consistent with prevailing macro and microeconomic conditions.
In the case of the remitter being a minor, the LRS declaration form must be countersigned by the minorโs natural guardian. The Scheme is not available to corporates, partnership firms, HUF, Trusts etc.
โWhat declarations are required to be made to the Bank/RBI for investments through the LRS route?

โAny declaration to be done while filing Tax returns?
โAll residents of India have to declare holdings of overseas assets (if any) as part of their annual tax filing. The format is prescribed in the relevant sections of the IT Act. Kristal provides the relevant information to Clients for their filing. Kristal can refer Clients to a CA should they need any advice or services in this regard. The Clients can evaluate the services and commercials independently.
