Presently, a resident can make payment in rupees for meeting expenses on account of boarding, lodging and services related thereto or travel to and from and within India of a person resident outside India who is on a visit to India.

This Circular has expanded the meaning of ‘services related thereto’ as stated in Regulation 2(i) of Notification No. FEMA 16/2000-RB, dated May 3, 2000 by including medical expenses therein. As a result, a resident individual can now pay for the medical expenses incurred in India by his NRI close relative (relative as defined in section 6 of the Companies Act, 1956).
