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 — LowFax supports India at $6.99 for the first 3 pages, then $2.49 per page after.
Several common NRI banking and legal processes still involve fax, sometimes alongside email or courier, because Indian institutions are often set up to accept a fax number more reliably than email attachments, and it creates a timestamped delivery record:
Before you fax a document like a Power of Attorney, most banks and Indian authorities require it to be properly executed first — simply faxing a signed page usually isn't enough on its own:
⚠️ Requirements vary by bank and by the specific transaction — always confirm directly with your bank or the relevant Indian authority what they require before sending, since faxing an improperly executed document can mean it gets rejected and you have to start over.
Have your signed, notarized (and attested, if required) document scanned or photographed clearly as a PDF or image file.

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.
