I have some queries for Mr Anil.

1. I understand that any remittance, including tuition fees payments, to foreign countries from India should be within Rs 7 lakh and once it crosses this limit, then the excess amount will be taxed at 5 per cent as TCS. Am I right?

2. Also, I understand if the same tuition fee is paid from a student loan taken, then it will be taxed at 0.5 per cent as TCS. Am I right?

3. Finally, can each earning and income tax paying parent pay half of the international university fees for their child from their individual accounts, so that both stay within Rs 7 lakhs limit of foreign remittance allowed tax free?

Hope you can guide us and help. This will be really useful for us to plan.

Thank you in advance for your help.
