  2. while the service is good but compared to Barclays.in service which offers -
    • No fee
    • 1day credits in India
    • And £1.5 (Rs. 112.36) which is the govt. tax

    It certainly is better. Considering that I have more branches here, I would surely suggest trying Barclays online money transfers .
