The central government has recently amended the FEMA rules, bringing credit card spending outside of India within the scope of the Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS). As a result, starting from July 1, credit card transactions made overseas will be subject to a higher rate of tax collected at source (TCS) at 20 per cent. This change, implemented in collaboration with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), has significant implications for individuals who frequently make international transactions.
