💳 India-side finance: LRS + TCS
Foreign tour packages bought from India fall under LRS and attract TCS. Confirm the TCS-inclusive total with your agent before paying so there are no surprises at checkout.
Where the money actually goes
Room + meal plan
Half-board or full-board at resorts avoids per-meal surprises. Local islands are pay-as-you-eat.
Transfers
Speedboat to nearby atolls, seaplane to far ones. A late arrival can add an airport-hotel night.
Taxes & extras
TGST, service charge, Green Tax, excursions, tips. Ask for a full breakdown before booking.
