As per the Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS), they need not visit a branch to make remittances.
The facility is available to native Indians, expats, and non-resident Indians (NRIs) or persons of Indian origin (PIO).
They can send funds overseas for their child’s education fees, gifts to relatives, medical expenses, and more.
On the other hand, the inward remittance option is available for existing NRI clients via SCB’s internet banking platform.
