What are the different modes for the payment of rewards to a non-resident informant?

Informant reward payment modes permit bank transfers to domestic or foreign accounts, with equivalent currency conversion and transfer fees deducted.

Payment of rewards to a non-resident informant must be made by regular banking channels (not cash) to a bank account in India or abroad as requested in writing; payment may be in Indian currency or an equivalent foreign currency at the prevailing exchange rate, and commission or charges for foreign currency payment are deducted from the gross reward.
