Foreign Currency Remittance to India by wire transfer (SWIFT)
It is important that the remitter submits the
‘international money transfer application’ for making a remittance from a foreign country to India.
He should
not submit the ‘domestic money transfer application’. This is because certain details (e.g. Federal Bank’s correspondent), which are required for processing an international money transfer, will not be available in the ‘domestic money transfer application’.
In the ‘International Money Transfer Application’, the remitter should provide the details of Intermediary Bank , ‘Intermediary Bank’s SWIFT Code’, ‘Federal Bank’s A/c Number’, ‘Routing Number’, ‘Federal Bank’s SWIFT Code’ etc.
Please go to our list of Correspondent Banks for these details . These details are tabulated there, Currency-wise and correspondent-wise.
The remitter may pick up the details provided in the appropriate table and use the details for filling out the international money transfer application form.
