Can we transfer money back to our home country from the Indian company?
Yes. Repatriation of profits is fully allowed under the FEMA regulations in India. Money can be transferred back to the home country as:
• As dividends: After deducting TDS (10-20% for foreign shareholders).
• As royalties or technical fees: Subject to TDS compliance.
• Repayment of loans: Subject to RBI guidelines under External Commercial Borrowing (ECB) regulations.
Tip: India has Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements (DTAAs) with over 90 countries which can reduce taxes on remittances.
