A.First question first- Is this really your friend who is transferring 10 Million CAD ( 54.8 crores of INR) or are you getting an offer which is nothing but a cyber fraud wherein a foreigner claims to transfer an unclaimed amount to your Indian account to fool and defraud you?

In case it is genuine transfer then do not try to circumvent the RBI as you both will be in big trouble. And if it is a a fake one then just ignore and move on. Lot of cyber frauds like this are happening.
