    Is it possible to wire transfer $1000 from India to Wachovia Bank, US? What is the procedure involved? How much is it going to cost?

    ICICI bank can do this if u have an account with them,they need u to give them reason(a valid one) for transferring the amount.It will cost u around $20.

    Normally most of the bank can do wire transfer. Just you have to tell them the valid reason for sending money.

    Its better to contact the bank itself as they can explain the procedure properly and almost every reputed bank has the facility of wire transfer. So, contact your bank ;) :)

    HDFC bank does it too. You need to fill in the form , state the purpose and few more forms. That's it. Will take 3-4 days for fund to reflect in US bank account though.

    You will need swift code of the Wachovia Bank , account details etc also. ( i m sure you already know that )

    HDFC bank does it for sure. But the process is very cumbersome. You need to fill many forms state the reason etc..I also wanted to do a wire transfer to a bank account in UK but the process was so weary i dropped the idea. Luckily i have a relative there who deposited the money and i pay his brother here in India.

    Why don't you use XOOM or western Union Instead,they provide preety good service.
    Western Union is more preferable to send money from US to India
