The Consulate General of India has warned against fraudulent agents charging “exorbitant fees” for repatriating the remains of Indian nationals.
The Consulate states it provides support through its ICWF-backed community associations for repatriating remains following Indian government guidelines.
If the deceased lacks an employer/sponsor or insurance for repatriation costs, families are not required to pay.
