Here’s a fact for you: India is thought to have the largest diaspora on the planet, with the United Nations estimating that over 18 million people from India live outside their home country. As you might imagine, India also receives more in remittances than anywhere else, so if you’re working hard and sending money to India, you’re far from alone.
At Remitly, we think that transferring Indian rupees should be an easy process that doesn’t come with high transfer fees or unclear exchange rates attached. Convenience is also important, which is why you can choose to have your money picked up in cash by your recipient, send the funds to a UPI address, or simply opt to make the remittance to an Indian bank account. Here’s how to make the transfer if your recipient is with HDFC Bank.
