Form 15CA & 15CB Filing for Foreign Remittances — Certified. Filed. Remitted.
Chartered accountant certification and portal filing for remittances outside India, with treaty analysis and withholding determination before the bank release.
Book Free ConsultationBefore most payments leave India, the bank needs to see that the tax position on the remittance has been examined. Form 15CA is the remitter’s declaration; Form 15CB is the chartered accountant’s certificate that supports it where one is required.
At N D Savla & Associates, we handle both sides of that file for businesses and individuals in Nashik and across Maharashtra — examining the nature of the payment, the treaty position and the withholding, then issuing the certificate and completing the portal filing.
The substance of the exercise is the characterisation of the payment. Whether a remittance is royalty, fees for technical services, business income or a capital account transaction changes the withholding entirely, so we take that question first rather than working backwards from a rate.
