You can transfer 1mn $. If you have invested as an NRI from your foreign income then your TDS will be automatically deducted by the mutual fund house and you can ask bank to repatriate the money, however, they might ask for certificate from CA.

Hope you find the information helpful, if yes do rate if 5 and provide your valuable feedback for my improvement.

Thank you.

Hi

Selling will attract capital gain and tax liability if any on the amount.

Remitting fund back to Australia is possible either through NRO / NRE account balance or proceeding of mutual fund sale

It is allowed under LRS upto 250000 USD in a financial year. However any amount in excess of 7.5 lacs in single year will attract TCS @20% which will be available as refund when you file your return and disclose total income
