Yes he can do so but please let me know that the interest which he is getting half yearly is credited to which account. Is it Indian Account or outside India A/c. The whether he is submitting his returns in India or not submitting.
The payment has to be deposited first in Indian Account and he has to open an NRO account and in that he can transfer the entire refund amount. Interest on NRO A/c in India is tax free.
