If not, forget that I am writing anything below. If yes:

All I have asked the OP to send the below information to the sender in India:

His Bank in Canada name eg Bank of Montreal
The branch address - eg - Hillcrest Mall, Yonge Street, Richmond Hill, Ont.
His account number - eg 12345-67890

The sender in India needs only this info, and once that sender gives the above details to his bank in India, the Indian bank will send the money without any problem.

yes, in case the money is being sent in US$, it might be useful, NOT NECESSARY, to give the details of corrospondent bank in USA like:

Intermediary bank eg - Citibank, NA. New York
CHIPS UID - 07646

The details provided here under are 'also seen' on the cheque leaves that have the Magnetic Ink Character Recognition provided to you or me on each bank account with them.

When you approach a bank they will provide you all of these for an ELECTRONIC FUND TRANSFER.

Each Bank has a ABA number and also a SWIFT code number walk in and find out. I have them for my account here with them.

For Example FOR BANK OF MONTREAL: http://www.docstoc.com/docs/4935557/WIRE-PAYMENT-SERVICES-at-BANK-OF-MONTREAL-Inbound-Wire

""Canadian transit number
Canadian transit numbers are regulated by the Canadian Payments Association. A number has the following form:

XXXXX-YYY

where XXXXX is a Branch Number, and YYY is an Institution Number. The dash between the branch number and the institution number is an integral part of the transit number. This format is only valid for paper-type transactions such as cheques. For Electronic Fund Transactions (EFT) the current format is a leading zero, the institution number, then the branch number all with no dashes. For example if a check reads XXXXX-YYY , the corresponding EFT code would be 0YYYXXXXX.

As a general rule, Bank institution numbers start with 0, 2, 3, or 6, Credit Union and Caisse Populaire institution numbers start with 8, and Trust Company institution numbers with 5.

Examples:
Examples:

* XXXXX-001 Bank of Montreal
* XXXXX-002 The Bank of Nova Scotia
* XXXXX-003 Royal Bank of Canada
* XXXXX-004 The Toronto-Dominion Bank (which is the legal name for the bank, although it operates as TD Canada Trust)
* XXXXX-006 National Bank of Canada
* XXXXX-010 Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (includes President's Choice Financial)
* XXXXX-016 HSBC Canada
* XXXXX-039 Laurentian Bank of Canada
* 00000-117 Bank of Canada (Canadian central bank)
* XXXXX-127 Canada Post (money orders)
* XXXXX-219 ATB Financial
* XXXXX-260 Citibank Canada
* XXXXX-290 UBS Bank (Canada)
* XXXXX-308 Bank of China (Canada)
* XXXXX-326 President's Choice Financial(no longer assigned)
* XXXXX-338 Canadian Tire Bank
* XXXXX-340 ICICI Bank Canada
* XXXXX-509 Canada Trust (prior to the merger of TD & Canada Trust)
* XXXXX-540 Manulife Bank
* XXXXX-614 ING Direct Canada
* XXXXX-809 Credit Union Central of British Columbia
* XXXXX-815 Caisses Desjardins du Québec
* XXXXX-819 Caisses populaires Desjardins du Manitoba
* XXXXX-828 Credit Union Central of Ontario
* XXXXX-829 Caisses populaires Desjardins de l'Ontario
* XXXXX-837 Meridian Credit Union (formerly Hepco)
* XXXXX-839 Credit Union Heritage (Nova Scotia)
* XXXXX-865 Caisses populaires Desjardins acadiennes
* XXXXX-899 Alberta credit unions

In a Canadian bank transit number, the last digit of the branch number, with few exceptions, indicates the geographical location of the branch.

Branch numbers ending with:

* 0 are located in British Columbia
* 1 are located in Western Québec including Montreal and surrounding area
* 2 are located in Ontario including Toronto and surrounding area
* 3 are located in Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland excluding Labrador
* 4 are located in New Brunswick
* 5 are located in Eastern Québec including Labrador
* 6 are located in Eastern Ontario including Ottawa and surrounding area
* 7 are located in Manitoba and North-Western Ontario
* 8 are located in Saskatchewan
* 9 are located in Alberta and the Northwest Territories

For example, the number 58876-004 indicates that the associated account is held at an Eastern Ontario branch of The Toronto-Dominion Bank (58876 is the branch number, and 004 is the institution number).

Hope this gives you an idea as to what they are currently looking for. In labour intensive India, they might sit down and find it for you. Here it is different.

Depending on where you are getting the funds from, either as a gift or from a sale, you will need the help of a Chartered Accountant. If it is a gift, then ask your friend to go to the bank and request them to send it to your bank here in Canada. I am sure you would have given most of the details to him that they require at that end.

The above form that you have in the link needs to be filled in by who ever is sending the money to you.

The Reserve bank of India is currently very liberal in allowing the dispatch of money out of India. So ask your friend to talk with the manager of the bank and see if it needs this form filled for release of the Foreign Exchange. If he insists then he will have to fill it prior to his giving you the Foreign Exchange.

If they do have free transfer facilities between the banks, then avail it.
