    I just checked my bank account for you:

    I see all my NEFT transfers have this code CITI0100000 which seems to be a Citi bank branch in Mumbai if you Google.

    I suspect it might vary depending upon your bank & branch location/region, not sure, just thinking.

    I do not understand why you need to submit FIRC.

    Normally we need to submit FIRC when we received money in foreign currency.

    In PayPal's case, Paypal do not send you money in foreign currency. They send u money in INR. If you see the transaction description in your bank account you'll find that you get money via NEFT.
    As I know, PayPal transfer money to their Indian Citi Bank account and then you get the money from citi bank through NEFT system.

    I don't think you need to submit FIRC.

    Here is the Citi Bank's address for IFSC code CITI0100000 - http://ifsc.bankifsccode.com/CITI0100000#.U4gFrCj5E3U

    technically we transferred our foreign currency but paypal send us in INR due to their own benefits, as per RBI rule if amount received in foreign currency then you don't need to pay service tax on it but in case of paypal withdraw we have to pay service tax as amount is in INR. This can be avoided if you ask FIRC to citibank (paypal)

    @iBoot please correct me if I am wrong, but aren't all services provided out of the country not in the service tax bracket - even if it includes money getting routed through PayPal's Citibank account in INR.
    Won't FIRC only be required in case of a tax query?

    Contact the bank where your PayPal withdrawals are credited to request a FIRC and a letter addressed to Citibank with the following information:
    • Unique Transaction Reference number (UTR)
    • Customer name
    • Account number
    • Amount of money
    • Date and purpose of the payment
    • We recommend that the letter also mention that the payment was received from PayPal. You can refer to a sample request letter. Please also inform your bank of the postal address you want the certificate(s) to be delivered to.
      For Details about customer care number, contact number and addresses of all branches of citibank you can visit here.
