    Form 15 CA and 15 CB is mendatory no matter what is the amount of import.

    In case of Tour Operators who purchase services for their clients in Nepal-Srilanka or any other part are not covered by these forms as all the services sold by them is being realised in Foreign Exchnage.

  17. K. Ramachandran says:

    Form No.15CA filling-in is a daunting task. Items 2 and 8 of Part B are about “amount of remittance in foreign currency and in Indian rupees” and “amount of remittance after TDS” respectively. These fields are mandatory. I have to remit $25000, so I typed 25000.00 and 1136250.00. Windows pop up reading “Please provide actual amount of remittance in Indian Rs. (i.e.10000.00)” and “Please provide actual amount of remittance after TDS in Indian Rs.(i.e.10000.00)” respectively.

    What is the way out to solve this difficulty ?

  21. Sunil Chowdhary says:

    The circular reads as “The Reserve Bank of
    India has also mandated that except in the case of certain personal remittances which have
    been specifically exempted, no remittance shall be made to a non-resident unless a no
    objection certificate has been obtained from the Income Tax Department.”

    Certain Personal remittances are exempted by the RBI from the compliance of section 195. There are limits for purposes of remittances that RBI authorises an individual to make per calendar year. Section 195 is not applicable on these remittances. It is only applicable on income that is deemed to be taxable in India as per IT Act or the DTAA with the recepients’ country, whichever is more beneficial. If you are paying someone for technical or managerial services, royalties and interest etc., you have to deduct 20% or whatever rate is written in the DTAA, whichever is more beneficial to you or recepient. You have to deduct tax at highest rate applicable on individuals on other business incomes of if you remit to a non resident individual or at rates for foreign companies if recepient is foregin company. This deduction is applicable only if the purpose of remittance fulfils the condition of income being taxable in India. If other business incomes are not taxable in India, you are not to deduct the tax but you will still have to comply with Form 15CB and 15CA where you will have to provide evience of nature of remittance to the CA showing that the income other than those mentioned above has not accrued to the non resident in India. CA would certify no deduction at source and based on this certificate you will fill the Form 15CA which is basically an undertaking to your assesing officer that you will submit evidences if and when called for and if determined that tax has been paid short or not at all, you would pay tax + interest + penalty and also be liable to prosecution.

    Therefore find out from your bank that your remittance is indeed the personal remittance exempted. Then you do not have to go through all this.
