Outward remittances are always a problem when it is done from India. Either you want to do it for business or you want send money to your wards having their higher education abroad, it does not make any difference.
A 20-30 day journey: Europe to India
- Chase the bank to get the transaction started
- Money is routed to big players in the EU
- Money is sent to big players in India
- Money arrives in the local bank
This is because the Indian rupee is a managed, and bit unstable currency like Yen, and Reserve Bank of India is obliged to keep a lens view of outward remittances in order to prevent money laundering and black money creation. Under Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA), the options to do outward remittances to other countries have been narrowed down.
For example Indian companies have their sales consultants abroad. To send monthly cheques or salary to their consultants, the Indian companies have to pay the employer tax and employee tax as well to Government of India, which is like a 2X load for them.
Having a virtual european bank account is a way to solve these kind of problems which is common for Indian service providers. Having a virtual bank account enables them to receive payments from their European customers as well and they could use the same amount to do local transfers to their sales consultants within SEPA payment system. This saves the Indian service providers with lot of cost and time.
