India Updates Foreign Remittance Reporting with New Forms 145 and 146 in 2026

In 2026, India has updated its foreign remittance reporting requirements by replacing Forms 15CA and 15CB with Forms 145 and 146. Form 145 is a self-declaration submitted by the remitter detailing transaction and tax information, while Form 146 requires Chartered Accountant certification for taxable payments exceeding certain thresholds. Banks and authorized dealers may request these forms before processing overseas transfers to enhance transparency and tax compliance. Individuals and businesses are advised to consult tax professionals to ensure proper adherence and avoid delays.
