Hey guys, I want to transfer money to US to my bro, who is studying masters there. Could you please tell me the available ways I can do that. I want to transfer about $6,000 to him within two-three days. I was thinking of western Union money transfer or something like that. Could you please give me some more info regarding fees, and banks which provide this service and related details. THANKS.. Please reply ASAP...

Western union money transfer would be the best.

In India, you can receive money through Western Union not send it. Transfer using Paypal

If he has bank account in US, you can wire transfer from your bank in India to his account directly. It will cost you around 1000 Rs, and it is pretty much more reliable than western union or paypal transfers. (Trust me, I use all of them ALOT).

just ask him to create a paypal id and send it to him and tell him attach his credit card with the account so all the money it will get transfered to his credit card
