Hi Smita}
In general, yes. In India, the transfer recipient will be required to pay gift taxes on all amounts greater than 50,000 INR per year, unless they're your close relative of yours, in which case they'll pay no taxes. On the American side, a maximum of US$14,000.00 is allowed to be transferred per person per year without having to pay tax. Anything exceeding that amount, and you as the sender will be taxed by the IRS.
Our firm recommendation for those interested in cutting the costs on their transfers from the US to India would be to steer well clear of banks and traditional transfer services. These services include Money2India from ICICI Bank, Western Union, and even expensive non-bank entities such as PayPal (which is no longer available for transfers to India.)

Be sure to check if recipients need to pay tax on any money received from abroad. If money is sent to family members then this is not taxed unless the money is invested - while money sent to anyone other than family members will be taxed as income if it's over Rs 50,000 a year.
