14) mentioned the Verification code/OTP and click on save & continue
once done you can see the acknowledgment page wherein you can see the details of the transaction booked. Once done you receive email from InstaReM informing you about the transaction you booked reflecting with details like Transaction ID ( Starting with IN), beneficiary name, currency and amount booked, equivalent INR they have to pay to InstaReM for this transaction & the Account details of InstaReM.
I suggest the students refer to this email while transferring equivalent INR to InstaReM so as to avoid mistakes like Short / Less payment or Excess payment, as Short / Excess payment leads to time loss. In case of unfortunate events refund will take 72 working hours from the time of its initiation, if the transaction is booked for not allowed relations like for friends or wherever required documents are not available, etc will get rejected.   

Stages after booking /Initiating Transaction

1) Awaiting payment:- Once the transaction is booked / Initiated the status will reflect as AWAITING PAYMENT  ( till the time the equivalent INR reflects in InstaReM’s Account )
2) Processing:- The moment customers INR reflects in InstaReM’s account the status will change to Processing  & customer will receive email from InstaReM informing you that InstaReM as received the funds
3)SENT TO BANK / PAID:-  Once everything goes smoothly the status will change to SENT TO BANK / PAID <- this means payment instructions has reached overseas & in this status, you can download the transaction receipt/ Invoice  ( which is near A2 Form ) & can send it to the overseas recipient for your reference.
Documents InstaReM may ask:- On email + in your Profile 
1) Latest One Month Bank Account Statement:-In rare cases & as per the requirements  InstaReM may ask for Latest One Month Bank Account statement from the customer ( Reflecting his Name, Account Number, IFSC code & 1-month debit & credit entries )
2) Loan Sanction/ Disbursement letter InstaReM can as for  Loan Sanction/ Disbursement letter if the customer has availed loan for his / her education purpose 
3) University admission Letter / Accommodation Rent agreement or Invoice-  Or both together InstaReM can ask for University admission Letter / Accommodation Rent agreement or Invoice or both if the payment is going to an Individual owner or sometimes if the accommodation service provider is a company
4) Government Document ➖InstaReM can ask  Valid for Government document like Passport First & Last Page of the remitter / Beneficiary or from Both, Marriage Certificate, Authorized / valid Name change Document or other government document so as to establish/check validity of the relationship mentioned in the transaction if the remitter name & beneficiary name is different. For example after marriage, the Surname or Name or both may get change for a female Remitter / Beneficiary or in some cases remitter & beneficiary may have Kumar in their last name i.e. Ramesh Kumar is sending money to Dinesh Kumar, such cases the above-mentioned document can help establish a relationship.

How to pay to InstaReM

NEFT / RTGS is the only option available at this moment. NEFT/RTBS via NET BANKING or by visiting a bank branch with InstaReM’s account details & a cheque / Passbook ( depending upon your bank)UPI payment option like PhonePay will be on soon & all customers will be informed accordingly. 
** INR Payment to InstaReM Must come to InstaReM from the person who has booked the transaction. For Example if Profile is in the name of Bharat Chaudhary then payment to InstaReM must come from Bharat Chaudhary’s Savings account only. 
** Receiving Payment of INR from Current Account, NRE/NRO account is not allowed to InstaReM. 

Current Limitations of InstaReM

The annual limit at this moment is USD 25000 (equivalent in other currencies ) or INR 17,00,000/- (we can say), at this moment. 
Under Overseas Education guidelines from RBI, the limit is USD 10,000 ( Equivalent in other currencies ) per transaction. But, whenever someone has to transfer more than that he/she can split the transaction into two & can transfer funds. 
For example, at this moment, the Block Account Amount in Euros is almost Euro 10,400 or near to this & this amount is crossing the per transaction limit of USD 10,000, but here one can split it into two parts like:- 
First Transaction of Euro 5400 ( with coupon code BHARATINGERMANY-  because the coupon code is applicable on 1st transaction only )Second transaction of Euro 5000 ( with Insta Points 375  (INR 750)  or 400 (INR 800) <– Insta Point’s can be used in any transaction, so the above-mentioned combination of Coupon Code in the first transaction & Insta Points in the second transaction will help you get the double benefit.

This is how you can book transaction’s which are more than USD 10,000+, both you can book back to back & can make two separate NEFT/ RTGS payments to InstaReM. Once InstaReM receives both equivalent INR payment from them, InstaReM start processing the transaction & transfer the Euros booked in two parts & both amounts get credited to the Overseas Block Account. Other than Overseas Education the per transaction limit for other purposes like Private Visit etc is USD 5000 Equivalent
