Under the LRS, all resident individuals, including minors, are allowed to freely remit up to USD 2,50,000 per financial year for any permissible current or capital account transaction or a combination of both.
Individuals can avail of foreign exchange facility for the purposes within the limit of USD 2,50,000 only.
Further, in the context of remittances allowed under LRS for maintenance of close relatives, it has been decided, in consultation with government, to align the definition of 'relative' with the definition given in Companies Act, 2013 instead of Companies Act, 1956, it added.
