There is no limit for sending money to India; Although, there can be a daily or monthly transfer limit to transfer money to India depending upon the channel chosen for money transfer and transfer speed.

For tax-free transactions there is a limit of $14,000 per person per year which simply means that if you are staying in US and you want to send money to your father or any other family member, the maximum amount of tax-free money that you can send to one person per year is $14,000.
