15CA - 15CB Filing
15CA - 15CB Filing services managed seamlessly by our expert team.
If you send money abroad, banks require Form 15CA and, in many cases, Form 15CB before releasing the payment. These forms confirm the tax position on the remittance. CASYST prepares and files both forms so your foreign payments go through smoothly.
What is 15CA - 15CB Filing?
Form 15CA is an online declaration filed by the person making a payment to a non-resident that may be taxable in India. Form 15CB is a certificate from a chartered accountant on the taxability of the remittance and the tax deducted, and is required where the payment exceeds the prescribed limit and is chargeable to tax.
Which parts of the form apply depends on the amount and taxability, and the rules are updated from time to time.
