Payments ReportIndia payment statistics from RBI and NPCI

Studies Abroad remittances by Indian residents under RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme: US$ 191.8 mn in August 2026, monthly since Apr 2009. Payments for education abroad. From March 2026 RBI counts here only education bought without travelling, such as fees for a correspondence course abroad; fees and costs while studying abroad move under Travel for education, so the line drops from March 2026.
