Utilizing a novel data set on remittance data for India that matches household surveys to administrative bank data, the authors investigate the differences in self-reported and actual deposits to Non-Resident Indian accounts (NRI).

Therefore, the results point to the need to more carefully check the accuracy of the international remittance flows.
