Licensing
Providers listed for India are licensed money transfer operators that route inward remittances through Reserve Bank of India (RBI)–authorised channels.
Personal transfers into India are processed via RBI-regulated Authorised Dealer Category-I banks, using the Rupee Drawing Arrangement (RDA) or Money Transfer Service Scheme (MTSS). Unlike Ethiopia and the Philippines, the RBI does not issue a single public list of licensed remittance brands — instead, each provider operates through one or more RBI-authorised banking partners. We verify this partnership before listing any provider.
