What is Form 15CA / 15CB?

Form 15CA and Form 15CB are compliance forms under the Income Tax Act used for reporting and certifying payments made to non-residents (foreign remittances).

  • Form 15CA is a declaration by the payer (you) that tax has been deducted (or not required) on the payment being sent abroad.
  • Form 15CB is a certificate issued by a Chartered Accountant (CA) that verifies the details of the foreign remittance, especially for higher-value transactions.

Together, they ensure that money sent outside India complies with tax laws, avoiding penalties from the Income Tax Department.

When do you need it?

You need Form 15CA / 15CB filing when:

  • You’re sending payments abroad above prescribed limits, such as for purchasing overseas property, repaying foreign loans, paying consultants, or family maintenance.
  • Your bank requires these forms before allowing the outward remittance under RBI’s Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS).
  • You want to ensure your remittance is fully tax-compliant, avoiding scrutiny or penalties.
