Except of BTC, how a person can send small amounts of money (under 1.000 USD) from India to abroad?

Use Paypal but your account must attached credit/debit card.

Thanx for your prompt reply.

Does PerfectMoney or WebMoney work in India?

skrill PM

The most flexible way to do would be to go to Localbitcoins , and sell bitcoins with a payment method you wish to use. This way you can ask the buyer to send the money to the other person's account.
Obviously you shoudl be aware it will likely be not reversible after sending the amount.

You can use Western Union money tranfer although the fees maybe high.

try payza or paypal, you wont need a credit card if you have the funds on your paypal balance

Would be interesting to know why this question starts with "Except of BTC"..

I believe thats because on the receiving end we won't always have a person who knows about bitcoin is wants to spend the time to convert bitcoin into cash for a small amount.

If you want to send money only then their are lot of ways like Neteller , Skrill, Etc. This 2 option are very good for sending money from india to any abroad places, in that Neteller policy is very secure. And even nowthey have added the deposit option of Bitcoin so now you can deposit Bitcoin in neteller and convert it to money and send any one .

Then we are essentially talking about the remittances through bitcoin but the bitcoin component is hidden and the sender or receiver need not know that bitcoin was used as the medium of transfer.

Yes if your sending money for some personal use or you know the receiving person well then you can use western union money transfer. If for unknown person then do not use it method.

fee for Western Union?

Yes it is not a free service.The fee varies from country to country you can calculate the fee before sending money using the fee calculator tool available on their site

Use hawala network :D

bitcoin is better if you compare about "fee"

I guess we all already know that.Op asked better way except bitcoin

WTF?
you're on BTC forum and you're asking how to send money from Ind to other country?

PayPal is all solution to send money outside of india.i thibk you have not to  go for other way.

I know one website which is trusted and upto 1000$ no fees

https://www.xoom.com

there are 42 countries available currently on website

These days Axis bank and many other banks have made outward remittance more easily available to normal savings account holders.

This is something RBI has done in the recent few months after they made the acquisition of property on foreign soil more easy.

There is however a maximum limit to what you can send every year, don't exactly remember how much but it was in the $150k range do your research or speak to the people at your bank.

It is 250k per year

Thanks for correcting me bro.

As far as I know Indian account holders are not allowed to keep funds on PayPal.All their incoming funds get auto-withdrawal to their linked bank account within 48 hours.How else one would have funds on PP without CC is not known to me

Paypal is the only option I can think of.

What exactly is your need? Sometimes it is simply easier to do a SWIFT transfer. If you're travelling then just take your debit card with you and withdraw cash from an ATM. They charge either a percentage (usually 2-4%) or a flat fee (in which case as much as you need at one go).

Yes i agree with you my friend paypal is the only solution to transfer money from india.

It Is not the only solution but one of the options.You can use western union also

Old thread...  :P

Why use something else. BTC

Bitcoin is not cheap @400 $ but here at forum it is almost free if you are a part of any signature campaign :D

Will depend on which country you want to send to. If you share that info, possible you will get better answers.

I'm wondering this as well because bitcoin is the ideal way to send money around the world.  There's very little that's better.

Their are so many ways that you can send the money to any country with Neteller or Skirll, or you can even send through Bitcoins, Paypal is also their but their are so many defaults of scam / cheating that it is not recommendable . If you dont want to disclose you details and send the money then Bitcoin is the only option through which you can send the money to around the world with very less transaction charges.

I think BTC is great way to send any amount from your wallet to anyone's wallet easily and instantly.

PayPal is not oprational in many countries same is true for western union.Bitcoin is the only best way to send and receive money in any part of world.Thats the power of decentralised currency

Paypal will be one of the best method to send small deposit to someone outside of india.but you will pay fees more than btc.
well...why you want to send using besides bitcoin.we Already known sending fund through btc is easy,faster and less fees?

I think BTC is the ideal way to send ur money around the world...it has less transaction fee than other...and if U r at any signature campaign, it will be almost free  :)

What is the paypal fees and is there any minimum amount required to transfer the funds to other account?

If the fee is passed to you, it is 2.9% plus $0.30 USD of
the amount you receive. For example, if you are sent
$100.00 USD by credit card, the fee would be $3.20 USD
($2.90 + $0.30 ). This fee also applies if you click Request
Money on the PayPal website and request money from
friends and family.(found on google)
and minimum amount you can send is .02$.
i think you got answer.

Yes thank you. Also which would be preferred way to send money other than bitcoin. If considering the fee and time taken, is paypal the best option to have?

I think after btc, paypal is the best option to have...
U can also try payza and axis bank...

yes paypal is best for small and big fund too than other.as for as i know payeer,perfectmoney,okpay fees are high for sending and withdrawing fund.and paypal aslo give you refund policy in case of if you didn't got goods.
