Hi kgkgeotech,

You can transfer money to India - even without having a local bank account !

There are numerous 'Money Transfer' places sprinkled liberally all over Muscat and across the Sultanate as well. These money exchanges are meant mostly to aid expatriates transfer money back home - to India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Philippines, Indonesia, Europe and U.S.A., besides any other country in the world.

You have to provide a bank account number where the money would have to get credited. There are also other facilities like door delivery of cash, a beneficiary going to the bank and collecting cash by quoting a secret PIN, etc. Options vary from place to place and from bank to bank.

This is one such place : http://www.omanuaeexchange.com/ There are scores others as well.

Given the vast expatriate population, sending money from Oman is a very simple process. The income for the money transferring companies are earned through commissions per transaction.
