Plus the bank take away 2.5% of your cash each year on the name of zakaat!
Thanks for this information.
Can I just confirm with you that is rbs Royal Bank of Scoltland?! If so, when did that bank open in Pakistan? Lol. I know they have HSBC there but didn't know about rbs!
Did rbs help you trasfer your 30k to HSBC? Only £15! That's really brilliant. Western Union ripped me off then! Hehe! :)
Do you know roughly how much they would charge if you were to transfer 1 million ruppees to UK?
When I contacted the tax office a while back, they told me that any money in my bank account coming in from anywhere would be considered in my yearly income and I would get taxed on it. This is what is worrying me. My money is just sitting in Pakistan as I can't bring it back without most of it going in their pockets. :)
