Transfer details
For a one-off transfer from Indonesia, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is Wise.
On a 4,200,000 IDR transfer, Wise delivers the most INR.
This will change depending on how much you actually send, so I suggest running a live search to get the best IDR/INR rate.
You can fund the transfer using bank transfer.
With money transfer companies, you're given a virtual account number to pay into, and in many cases (depending on the company) you can use BI-FAST to fund it.
It costs about Rp2,500 and caps at Rp250 million.
First time round you'll likely need your KTP and a selfie with it to verify your account.
Larger transfers need documents showing what the money is for (such as tuition letter or similar).
3 companies send money from Indonesia to India, using in person, online, app, multi-currency account, and global account and other options.
One-off and everyday transfers
Wise charges 58015 IDR to send Rp4,200,000 and your recipient gets 22,186.58 INR in within minutes.
Most Indonesia’s outbound transfer services are local and licensed by Bank Indonesia.
Avoid unregulated money transfer companies, even if the exhcnage rate looks better.
Make sure to check for the words “berizin dan diawasi Bank Indonesia” on providers website or app before sending.
For cash pickup
You have a few options to send cash to India, and the cheapest is MoneyGram Agent.
You will need to pay MoneyGram Agent online by bank transfer, and your recipient collects INR in cash at the nearest branch.
Only use agents that hold Bank Indonesia transfer licence.
Saving for future payments
A valas account (a.k.a a multi-currency account) lets you convert IDR to INR and hold it before spending abroad, travelling, or paying other bills in India.
This works well if you need INR regularly, travel to India, or get paid in from there.
Paying suppliers
Global accounts help Indonesian businesses hold foreign currency and make regular payments to suppliers in India.
Wise Business and Payoneer handle recurring business transfers, but a bank’s solusi valas desk may be more useful when the payment needs invoices or other supporting documents.
With Wise, paying by bank transfer and receiving through bank deposit is the cheapest combination. Sending Rp4,200,000 gives your recipient 22,186.58 INR.
You can fund the IDR side through bank transfer.
Pay from Indonesian bank account
A money transfer comapny will give you bank details for top-up, send money to it from your Indonesian bank.
BI-FAST can be used to fund the transfer inside Indonesia (some companies support it), but the company will then use an internal network to then send it to India.
Your recipient can receive INR by bank deposit.
You pay Rp4,200,000.00

The main check in Indonesia is whether the service is licensed to send money out. Many international brands only support transfers coming into the country.
For an Rp4,200,000 transfer to India, start with the final option that gets you the most INR.
Cheapest way to send money to India

Fastest way to send money to India
Wise delivers 22,186.58 INR in within minutes when you pay by bank transfer and choose bank deposit.
BI-FAST can be used to deposit IDR to the transfer company's local account, but it does not send INR to a person in India.
QRIS is also a payment system rather than an international person-to-person transfer.
Banks must record the purpose of an outgoing foreign-currency transfer and can ask for supporting documents such as invoices, agreements, etc.
Bank Indonesia's current foreign-exchange rules include documentation requirements once relevant thresholds are crossed.
Those thresholds and exemptions can change, so ask the bank what it needs before making a large transfer to India.
The number of INR received depends on the rate used to convert your IDR. Compare today's quote with the recent market range before paying.
