Send Money to Qatar from India
We send Qatari Riyal to any Qatar IBAN under RBI's LRS, from our Nerkundram branch in Chennai. Bring passport and PAN, sign Form A2 at the counter, and funds credit in 1 to 2 business days. TCS is an advance tax on the transfer, adjustable when you file. We tell you the amount before you pay.
A Corridor Built on Family
Most of the money that goes from here to Qatar is not big money. It is a parent cared for, a month's support for a wife, a sum toward something the family needs. I spent fifteen years in the Gulf sending this same kind of transfer, watching the calendar, hoping it landed before the day it was needed. This corridor carries a lot of Tamil Nadu on it. The people sending are not investors. They are running a household from across an ocean.
QAR Wire, IBAN Required
Qatar uses the Qatari Riyal and its banks work on IBAN. A transfer needs the recipient's Qatar IBAN and the bank details. Give us the IBAN and the amount, and we handle the wire and the paperwork.
Arrives in 1 to 2 Business Days
We initiate the wire the same working day once your documents and funding are in, and the money typically reaches the Qatar account in 1 to 2 business days. Cut-off times and the receiving bank affect the exact timing.
LRS Compliant, TCS Explained Plainly
Every transfer goes under RBI's LRS, up to USD 250,000 per person a year. On TCS, from April 2026: nothing below Rs 10 lakh of cumulative LRS use in the year; above that, most non-education non-medical purposes such as family maintenance and gifts are 20% on the portion over the threshold. TCS is advance tax, claimable back in your return. We compute and document it for you.
What to Bring
Passport, PAN, and the recipient's Qatar IBAN and bank details. For family maintenance a simple self-declaration of your relationship to the recipient is usually enough. We fill Form A2 with you at the counter and tell you plainly what applies to your amount.
Cash QAR Too, When You Travel
If you are travelling to Qatar yourself, for work or business, we also sell Qatari Riyal notes over the counter for your trip, alongside the wire service. Confirm the rate on WhatsApp and it holds for 60 minutes.

Is there TCS on sending money to Qatar?
Only once your cumulative LRS use for the year crosses Rs 10 lakh. Below that, no TCS.

Education from own funds and medical are 2%, and loan-funded education is NIL. TCS is advance tax, claimable back in your income tax return.
What is the annual limit for sending money to Qatar?
Under RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme, up to USD 250,000 per person per financial year across all permitted purposes. The limit is per individual, so different family members each have their own. We track the documentation cleanly so your records are in order.
Do I need the recipient's IBAN?
Yes. Qatar banks operate on IBAN, so we need the recipient's Qatar IBAN and bank details to send the money. If you have only an account number, ask the recipient for their IBAN before you come, and we will do the rest.
