Form 15CA,15CB for remittance of payments to non-resident or foreign company
Currently, remittances to non-residents are allowed by banks if the person making the remittance furnishes an undertaking, accompanied by a certificate from a Chartered Accountant (“CA”) certifying the rate for withholding tax as per section 195 of the Act. The banks then forward the certificates to the Reserve Bank of India (“RBI”), which in-turn forwards it to the Income tax department.
Finance Act, 2008 inserted a new sub section (6) to section 195 effective from April 1, 2008, which requires the person responsible for making payment to a non-resident to furnish information relating to such payments in forms to be prescribed. The Central Board of Direct Taxes (“CBDT”) has now, by notification No 30/2009 dated March 25, 2009, prescribed a new rule 37BB in the Income Tax Rules, 1962 (“the rules”) prescribing Form 15CA and Form 15CB to be filed in relation to remittances to non-residents under section 195(6) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (“the Act”). This new rule is effective from July 1, 2009 and shall apply to all remittances being made after July 1, 2009. The process that will have to be followed, before any remittance can be made, is as under—
Step 1 : Obtain a certificate from a Chartered Accountant in Form No 15CB
Step 2:Furnish the information in Form No15CA
Step 3:Electronically upload Form 15CA on the designated website
Step 4:Take Print out of Form 15CA and file a signed copy
Step 5:Remit money to the Non Resident
Please note that all the above steps have to be undertaken before remittance of money to the non-resident.
Notification no. 30/2009 is as below:-
In exercise of the powers conferred by section 295 read with sub-section (6) of section 195 of the Income-tax Act, 1961, the Central Board of Direct Taxes hereby makes the following rules further to amend the Income-tax Rules, 1962, namely:-
1. (1) These rules may be called the Income-tax (Seventh Amendment) Rules, 2009.
(2) They shall come into force with effect from 1st July, 2009.
2. In the Income-tax Rules, 1962, after rule 37BA, the following rule shall be inserted, namely:-

The clause say CA certificate is required for such remittance to Foreigner.
But how can CA verify that the beneficiary of the remittance is really a Non Residence, and they doesnt have any office / branch in India or has PAN number in India.
Is there a process to verify it or CA just need to give the certificate to its client just because he is our client.?
Doesnt it involve responsibility to CA? or is this just a matter of formalities?

There is a big flaw on the online for as on 03 July 2012. Or maybe we have not been able to understand it properly.
In part 2 of the bank, there is a field that states – “Name of the bank *”, which is a required field, and the user has to select from a droplist. The list has a couple of options. What if the user has to transfer to a bank that is not there in this list. There is no Others option. Let’s say the user wants to transfer to Intesa Sanpaolo. There is no option. There are hundreds of big banks which are not there in this dropdown. Does this mean that an Indian resident cannot transfer to a business or individual who has an account in the banks which are not listed in this droplist?
Best wishes,
Varun Gupta
I have filed form 15CA and issued a certificate. But for certain reasons as per that particular bank`s rules the assessee was not allowed to transfer the same. As the assessee was in need of money abroad he wants to transfer the same from a different bank. So how do I cancel the certificate issued earlier.
I want more information on the concept of Foreign remittance made to foreign companies – the TDS applicability and the DTAA give to explain

Whether the Central govt. departments are also liable to submit for 15cb and 15a for the payment of foreign exchange outside India.
I am very surprise that still the definition of “Accountant” section 288 of Income Tax Act 1961’ recognising only Chartered Accountant. Currently the standing committee of finance suggested to wide definition of “Accountant” and that will be good signal for professional and business community.
