Power of Attorney, KYC updates, bank forms — sent from abroad, without a fax machine.
NRI stands for Non-Resident Indian — an Indian citizen living outside India, often for work, study, or family reasons, while still maintaining bank accounts, property, or other financial matters back home. If you're an NRI, you've probably run into a familiar problem: an Indian bank or institution asks for a document to be faxed, and you don't own a fax machine, may never have owned one, and have no idea where to find one wherever you're currently living.
💡 You don't need a fax machine to fax a document to India. An online fax service lets you upload the file and send it directly from your computer or phone — Select India in LowFax.com and review the displayed price for your actual page count. LowFax.com always includes a cover page, which counts toward the total.
When a receiving institution specifically accepts fax, an NRI may use it to send requested copies or correspondence. The following are document categories to ask about, rather than a list of documents universally accepted by fax:
For a document such as a Power of Attorney, ask the receiving institution which signatures, certification, attestation, or original documents are required for your particular matter. Faxing a copy does not replace those steps or establish legal validity.
Acceptance also varies across financial institutions. See our NRI bank fax checklist before preparing your packet. It explains which questions to ask and gives an example of an institution that does not accept fax applications for particular transactions.
Complete the recipient’s required signatures and document preparation, then scan or photograph the approved document clearly as a PDF or image file.
Open LowFax.com in any browser — no account or software needed.
Upload your document, select India as the destination, enter the bank or institution's fax number, and pay — $6.99 covers the first 3 pages, then $2.49 per additional page.
You'll receive an email confirmation once the fax is delivered — useful to keep as your own record that the document was sent, separate from whatever confirmation (or lack of one) the receiving institution provides.
NRI stands for Non-Resident Indian — an Indian citizen who lives outside India, often for work, study, or family reasons, while still holding accounts, property, or other ongoing matters in India.
Acceptance depends on the bank, account service, and document. Confirm whether fax is accepted for your request, what signatures or authorization are required, and whether originals must follow before sending.
Requirements depend on the document, recipient, and applicable process. Obtain the specific execution and original-document requirements from the receiving institution or qualified adviser; fax transmission does not make a power of attorney legally effective.
No account needed. Upload your document, enter the fax number, and send — starting at $6.99 for the first 3 pages.
