How This Is Calculated
TCS on LRS remittances and overseas tour packages is applied incrementally — computed on the amount by which cumulative remittances (prior plus current) exceed the applicable TCS threshold, not retroactively on the entire cumulative amount, so an earlier remittance already taxed isn't taxed again.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is TCS charged on the full remittance or just the amount above the threshold?
▼
Only on the incremental amount above the threshold — if your cumulative remittances for the year were already above the threshold from a prior transaction, TCS applies to the new remittance amount in full; if this transaction is what pushes you over the threshold, TCS applies only to the portion crossing it.
Can TCS collected on foreign remittance be claimed back?
▼
Yes — TCS collected is not a final tax, it's credited against your total tax liability when you file your ITR, similar to TDS. If your total tax liability is lower than the TCS collected, you can claim a refund of the excess.
Source and review trail
Use the current official instrument, portal or regulator publication before acting. This panel separates the category authority from page-specific references.
Scope: Computes Tax Collected at Source (TCS) on Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS) remittances and overseas tour packages under Section 206C(1G) of the Income-tax Act.
Calculation logic
For LRS remittances (other than for education financed by a loan, or medical treatment): TCS applies at the currently prescribed rate on the amount remitted in excess of the currently prescribed threshold (₹7,00,000/year aggregate) — below the threshold, no TCS applies; above it, TCS is collected on the excess amount.
For education remittance financed by an education loan from a specified financial institution: a lower, currently prescribed concessional TCS rate applies on the excess over the threshold (rather than the general higher rate applicable to other LRS purposes).
For overseas tour packages: TCS applies at the currently prescribed rate from the first rupee (no threshold exemption for tour packages specifically, unlike general LRS remittances), collected by the seller of the overseas tour package.
Inputs and assumptions
TCS rates and the ₹7,00,000 threshold follow the currently notified Section 206C(1G) provisions — these rates have been revised by Finance Act amendments across different years (including a period of higher rates before a subsequent reduction/threshold-restoration for individual remitters), so the calculator applies the rate for the tax year selected.
TCS collected is available as credit against the remitter's final income-tax liability (or refundable if no offsetting liability exists) — the calculator computes the TCS amount collected, which the remitter then claims in their return.
Exclusions and edge cases
Medical treatment remittances are exempt from this TCS provision, per the specific carve-out — the calculator applies this exemption where the user selects medical treatment as the remittance purpose.
This TCS applies to remittances by both resident individuals under LRS and, separately, to purchases of overseas tour packages by any buyer (not limited to LRS remitters specifically) — the calculator distinguishes the two scenarios per the transaction type selected.
