Possibly someone you trust in another country ie India-Malaysia- Indonesia
If the Indonesia government has suspended for any particular reason then you cannot
Only other option is if you can open an international bank account the only ones I’m aware about that can be directly used without hindrance (though I may well be wrong) is HSBC and is/ was used as a singular account worldwide if it was a particular account
You could try cash collection to yourself rather than international bank transaction

Fred

If the government has banned money transfers it will probably be down to criminal laundering or terrorist funding concerns, that meaning we should not even consider ways to get around the ban.

Indonesian government didn't ban on sending or receiving
Its indian government has put on hold for sending international Remittance
Via bank only can send to 10 countries
Indonesia is not in the list
As you say mentioned about HSBC international account and via trusted friend or relative from malaysia,
Even malaysia not in bank Remittance country
list,

I shud go to indian Embassy in jakarta for query maybe in their get any solution

I’ve no idea what to suggest if it’s your home country that has suspended this and yes possibly your embassy may assist with suggestions or reasons

Fred

Your embassy should be able to explain the problem but, if your government have banned transfers, they'll have a reason.

Yeah Fred,

Indian government has put on hold for sending outward via western union, Uaeexchange, Moneygram, but can receive in india without hassle

Only possible outward via any bank
I received today via SBI=BCA

Thanks guys for your suggestion very helped me
