Yes, many international money transfer services allow you to send money from Russia directly to a bank account in India. You will usually need the recipient’s full name, bank name, IBAN, and sometimes the SWIFT/BIC code for India banks.
How long will it take for the money to reach the recipient?
The processing time depends on the chosen service and delivery method.
Transfers through international money transfer systems (MoneyGram, Ria Money Transfer, Western Union) are usually credited within minutes.
