Datanomics: Remittances to India from Aus, Saudi cost double the UN target
Money sent home to India by workers abroad is growing, but sending it costs too much. Transfers from Australia and Saudi Arabia cost about double the United Nations target. Limited UPI (Unified Payments Interface) links abroad also slow things down. This affects families receiving money and business owners who pay or get paid overseas. Compare transfer charges before you send and pick the cheapest route.
Key Statutory Highlights
- India's remittance flows are rising.
- Sending money to India from Australia and Saudi Arabia costs about double the United Nations target.
- Limited UPI links abroad show the need for wider cross-border payment connectivity.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:Before you send or receive money from abroad, ask your bank or provider about the full transfer cost and whether UPI can be used, so you can choose the option that suits you best.
