FAQs - DMC Payments via Prithvi Exchange

1. Who can use this service?

Registered Indian tour operators, travel agents, and event organizers who need to send payments to DMCs overseas for services related to inbound tourism, conferences, events, or leisure travel.

Yes. We remit to DMCs across Europe, Middle East, Southeast Asia, USA, Africa, and more. You’ll need to provide the beneficiary’s bank details (IBAN/SWIFT) and a valid invoice or service contract.

We usually use:
• S0306 – Travel for tourism (for leisure-based payments)
• S0305 – Travel for business (for corporate or MICE-related travel)
Our experts help you assign the correct RBI purpose code.

Yes. Form A2 is an RBI-mandated declaration required for any foreign exchange transaction. It captures the remitter’s details, purpose, and amount. We generate and assist in signing this form for every DMC payment.

Yes. We support both one-time and batch payments to multiple vendors across countries. Each transfer is documented and tagged with the appropriate invoice and purpose code.

Typically 1–2 international working days, depending on the destination and banking network. We share SWIFT/UTR references post-transfer.

For businesses, there are no fixed outward limits, provided documentation and contracts are valid. For individuals, the remittance must fall within LRS limits (USD 250,000/year) if applicable.

TCS (Tax Collected at Source) may apply in some cases under the LRS framework (e.g., if paid by an individual). Corporate remittances for business purposes typically do not attract TCS. Our compliance desk will guide you accordingly.
