15 September 2014 yes FEMA applies. Individuals are not allowed to borrow except from close relatives (as defined under FEMA)

So it should be treated as Income

15 September 2014 Thanks for your response...but i have one more question....this amount received from american friend are actually the reimbursement of expenses incurred when he is on visit to india....he just returned back the money from usa to india..so is there any way out..

Thanks

16 September 2014 depends on whether you can back it up evidence...

31 October 2014 I also have similar type of query.Amount received from USA friend to Resident Assessee in his bank account for assessee's personal use as short term adjustment, free of interest.Now assessee wants to repay his USA Friend. What precautions to be taken to avoid any violations.Amount involved is US$5000

02 November 2014 It is advisable that while returning it is not shown as repayment of loan as you are not permitted to borrow from non-relatives. Just show it is as a gift
