Indians working overseas sent home $62.74 billion last year, an increase of 68.6 per cent in the last decade, according to a UN agency.
India received the most overseas remittances last year, a report by the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) issued on Tuesday said.
The money sent by Indians overseas amounted to 3.3 per cent of India's gross domestic product, the report said.
Gulf countries were the primary destination for Indian workers going abroad, with the US as a "popular destination".
The US led the world as the country from which the most remittances - $3.6 billion - were made, the IFAD said.
