India's Remittance Growth Faces Future Challenges from Tighter Visa Policies
India's remittance inflows reached a record $155.1 billion in fiscal year 2026, driven by overseas workers and students. While no immediate decline is expected, experts warn that future growth may depend on immigration policies in developed countries like the US, UK, Canada, and Australia. Tighter visa rules and migration restrictions could slow new migrant inflows, potentially making remittance growth more uneven despite the sector's structural resilience.
