How to compare and send

  1. 01

    Start with one USD amount

    Enter the same USD amount in each live India corridor quote so the comparison uses a consistent input.

  2. 02

    Choose the India payout

    Select only a bank, wallet, or pickup method that the provider currently shows for the intended recipient.

  3. 03

    Verify the recipient

    Use the exact legal name and destination details requested in the live form, then confirm them with the recipient.

  4. 04

    Compare the complete quote

    Review the USD debit, fee, exchange rate, INR delivered, and dated arrival estimate before paying.

  5. 05

    Save and track

    Keep the prepayment disclosure, receipt, and reference until the recipient confirms the correct amount arrived.

Limits and compliance checks

  • RBI sets no NEFT amount limit, although a member bank may set one. Cash-originated NEFT is capped at INR 50,000 per transaction.

    Compliance source

  • Remitly says sending limits vary by sender location, identity-verification status, delivery method, and destination country; use its current limits guide and live corridor flow.
