The Netherlands hosts approximately 250,000 people of Indian origin — one of the largest Indian communities in Europe — working primarily in IT, finance, and pharmaceuticals (pharma-industry links between Dutch and Indian firms are particularly strong). EUR wires from Dutch banks (ING, ABN AMRO, Rabobank) route via TARGET2 to a European or US correspondent, then via SWIFT to Indian banks (SBI, HDFC, ICICI, Axis Bank), settling via RBI RTGS or NEFT. FEMA reporting by the Indian bank is mandatory for every inward remittance. DNB (De Nederlandsche Bank) applies AML oversight. The EUR→INR conversion typically uses either a direct EUR→INR rate or USD intermediate depending on the corridor. Track your UETR on Ohmyfin for live status.
Settlement path: TARGET2 → RBI RTGS. Currency pair: EUR → INR.
The three most common causes of delay on this corridor are: (1) FEMA reporting by Indian receiving bank for inward remittances, (2) DNB / AFM AML controls on India-corridor transfers from Netherlands, and (3) EUR-to-INR FX conversion timing at the Indian correspondent bank.
If the payment has not arrived within 4 business days, ask your sending bank to file an MT199 payment enquiry citing the UETR and the holding bank's BIC shown on the Ohmyfin GPI tracker.
