Money Transfer Service Scheme ( MTSS ) is a quick and easy way of transferring personal remittances from abroad to beneficiaries in India. Only personal remittances such as remittances towards family maintenance and remittances favouring foreign tourists visiting India are permissible.

The system does not envisage the repatriation of such inward remittances. The India agent is also not allowed to remit any amount on account of exchange loss to the overseas principal.
