๐น Bank Accounts: NRE, NRO & FCNR accounts — their uses and restrictions.
๐น Remittances & Gifts: Limits on gifts & family maintenance; violations invite penalties.

โ Violating end-use restrictions (e.g., NRE funds used for local lending).
โ๏ธ Why It Matters:
FEMA violations carry heavy penalties. Seeking professional legal advice is highly recommended for any cross-border transaction involving India.
