DECLARATIONS
I hereby declare that: I am a resident Indian.
The total amount of foreign exchange purchased from or remitted through, all sources in India during this financial year including this proposed remittance is within USD 250,000 (USD two hundred and fifty thousand only) the limit prescribed by Reserve Bank of India for the said purpose under the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999.
Foreign exchange proposed to be remitted by me is for the purpose mentioned in this application.
The transaction, details of which are specifically mentioned in the application, does not cross the limit for the financial year or any other limit prescribed by the Reserve Bank of India under the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 for the said purpose.
I am aware that the Finance Act, 2015 has amended Section 195(6) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 whereby the person responsible for making any payments to non-residents, whether or not chargeable to tax in India, is compulsorily required to furnish information in such form and manner as may be prescribed. I am aware of the penal provisions that would be applicable to me/us as a remitter in case of non-compliance. However, the rules prescribing the forms have not been notified by Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT)/Finance Ministry.
Currently, Rule 37bb prescribing requirement for furnishing of Form 15ca and certificate in Form 15cb is applicable only in respect of payment chargeable to tax. In my view, the current Rule 37 bb is not applicable for payments which are not chargeable to tax and hence, I am unable to comply with the requirement for the payment not chargeable to tax until the new rules are notified by the CBDT/Finance Ministry.
I hereby confirm that amount to be remitted is not chargeable to be taxed in India. Therefore, Form 15ca and Form 15cb as per provisions of Rule 37bb of the Income Tax Rules, 1962 are not required to be submitted. In the event if there is any income tax query/inquiry/notice demanding details/information in India in respect of this particular remittance, I/we undertake to provide all the necessary information/document as required by the Income Tax Department. Further, I shall indemnify the Company and its authorised Partner for any tax/interest or penalty levied by the Income Tax/Income Tax Appellate Authorities/courts in India for non-deduction of tax or non-compliance with the relevant provisions of income tax law in regard to this remittance.
I, hereby confirm that in case it has been identified at any time during the financial year, that I have breached the permissible limit of remittances under the extant regulations then Company and its authorised partners will not be responsible for any such breach by me and I agree to adhere to the penal provisions prescribed by the Reserve Bank of India in this regard.
In the event if there is any enquiry from any statutory/regulatory authorities in respect of this particular remittance, I undertake to provide all the necessary information/document(s) to company as may be required in this regard.
Further, I undertake to indemnify company and authorised partners for any tax/interest or penalty levied by the Income Tax/Income Tax Appellate Authorities/courts in India for non-deduction of tax or non-compliance with the relevant provisions of income tax law with regard to this remittance.
I, being a Person resident in India, hereby declare that transaction proposed to be done under the liberalized remittance scheme, issued and amended by the Reserve Bank of India from time to time, is not in the nature of remittance for margins or margin calls to overseas exchanges/overseas counter party or for purpose prohibited transactions under the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 or any rules, regulations or guidelines issued under the said act, like remittances for purchase of FCCBs issued by Indian companies in overseas secondary markets, remittance for foreign exchange trading abroad, etc. I hereby declare that the proposed remittance does not involve, and is not designed for any purpose for which the drawal of foreign exchange is prohibited viz travel to Nepal and Bhutan, a transaction with a Person resident in Nepal or Bhutan and those under Rule 3 and transactions which require prior approval of the Central Government under Rule 4 of the Foreign Exchange Management (Current Account Transactions) Rules, 2000 read with Schedule I and Schedule II thereof viz,
I hereby declare and affirm that the remittances initiated/requested by me are not Prohibited Transactions or transactions requiring prior approval of the central government.
Other Declarations:
I hereby declare that the purpose of remittance and transaction details as mentioned above are true to the best of my knowledge and does not involve, and is not designed for the purpose of any contravention or evasion of the provisions of the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 or any rule, regulation, notification, direction or order made thereunder. I agree that I shall be responsible and liable for any incorrect detail provided by me.

I further agree that once the funds remitted by me have been transmitted by company or authorised partner to the correspondent and Beneficiary Banks, company or authorised partner shall not be responsible for any delays in the disbursement of such funds including the withholding of such funds by the correspondent and Beneficiary Banks.
I agree that in the event the transaction gets rejected by the Beneficiary Bank because of any incorrect information submitted by me then any charges levied by the Beneficiary Bank and intermediary bank and exchange loss incurred in this connection can be recovered by company or authorised partner from the amount returned by the correspondent bank. I also understand that if I refuse to comply with any such requirement or make any unsatisfactory compliance therewith, company or authorised partner may refuse to undertake the transaction and shall, if it has reason to believe that any contravention/evasion is contemplated by me, report that matter to the Reserve Bank of India.
I agree that in the event the transaction is cancelled or revoked by me after submitting the request for processing to company or authorised partner, which the company or authorised partner may accept at its discretion and on a best effort basis, any exchange loss incurred in this connection can be debited from the funds paid to company or authorised partner for executing the transaction.
