Transfer details
For a one-off transfer to South Korea, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is Wise.
On a 22,100 INR transfer, Wise delivers the most KRW.
The best option will change depending on how much you actually send, so I suggest to get the best INR/KRW rate.
You can fund your transfer via bank transfer.
Most people pay with UPI straight from their banking app, and it reaches the money transfer company account in seconds.
For a large amount (10+ lakhs), ask for RTGS instead, it clears quicker than the everyday rails.
You'll need your PAN and a signed Form A2 before the money can leave the country.
Start a first transfer a few days early.
How much INR you send to South Korea heavily affects the best ways and the cheapest options. Use the table below to check how the cheapest options change and how much more you'd get by comparing.

You have 4 options to send money to South Korea from India.

Cheapest
Outward transfers from India sit under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme. The purpose decides the documents and how much TCS is collected upfront.
For an INR 22,100 transfer to South Korea, the current options are:
The cheapest option is Wise, funded by bank transfer with bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 302,671 KRW, which is 6.44% more than the next best option.
The fastest option is PayPal App (P2P Transfer), funded by bank transfer with bank deposit in South Korea. Your recipient gets 283,169.43 KRW in minutes.
A resident individual can remit up to USD 250,000 in one financial year under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme for permitted current and capital-account transactions.
The limit is per person and covers your combined LRS use, including gifts, maintenance, study, travel and overseas investment.
It is not a separate allowance for every bank or transfer company.
The authorised money transfer company will normally ask for your PAN, Form A2 and a purpose code.
The RBI LRS direction explains the yearly limit and permitted use.
TCS is collected on qualifying LRS remittances above the annual threshold.
From April 2026, education and medical remittances are generally collected at 2% above ₹10 lakh, while many other purposes carry 20% above the threshold.
Education funded by a qualifying loan does not attract TCS.
TCS is a tax credit rather than an extra transfer fee. You can claim it against your final tax bill, but the money remains unavailable until it is adjusted or refunded.
Add up your LRS payments across banks before sending. The bank or transfer company will need your earlier use to apply the threshold correctly.
UPI can be used to deposit money to a money transfer company, but it can’t send KRW to South Korea.
Instead, a money transfer company will switch to a local network of bank account or local rails to move INR to KRW.
All outward remittance still passes through an RBI-authorised dealer.
The rate decides how much KRW arrives for your INR. Recent movement gives you a useful range to compare against today's quote.
Mid-market rate:1 INR = 14.162815 KRW
Money only leaves India through an RBI-authorised dealer, so that's the first filter on this table.
