Plan your Remittances to reserve your London Property before the LRS due date of 31st March 2024 for this Financial Year

RBI’s Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS) is a measure that facilitates the transfer of money out of India. All Indian resident individuals, including minors, can freely remit up to USD 250,000 per financial year (April to March) for any permissible current or capital account transaction or a combination of both, including the purchase of a property.

Each family member can remit USD 250,000 per person per financial year abroad — which can be done at any time during the year.

Therefore, one can club the LRS limits of four people and buy a property jointly in four names — bringing the total remittance value to USD 1 Million per financial year.

As per the current exchange rate, this would be GBP 200,000 (approx.).

If one would like to benefit from two financial years, remit higher amounts, and complete transactions within two months, the LRS Remittance Limit of two financial years can be clubbed.

The process can be easily completed in just two months without waiting for one more full year, i.e.
FY 1: In the month of March 2024, you can remit USD 250,000
FY 2: In the month of April 2024, you can remit another USD 250,000
