Thanks for the tips. Looks like I should have opened the Remit2India account while in the US, asking for US address now.
One question, I still need to pay the service tax while doing the transfer, right? Seems Govt of India charges that.

I have now moved to India and found out that in order to wire money from my US bank to my local Indian bank, I need to be physically present in the US.
What is the best way to move my money from US to India in this case?

Thanks a lot!

Thanks

Hello I am an Indian citizen who has R2Ied and am now transferring all my money from my US bank account to my regular India bank account using ICICI service.

My Atlona 560 finally arrived today and after connecting it using HDMI, lo behold, the picture quality has gone up big time now and the channels look awesome. In ...
