Reserve Bank Of India [RBI] — Payments required to RBI before payouts

I had some money sent to me from a loved one but in order to receive the money that he sent me I am being asked to pay a LOT money (that I don’t have) to prove that it is me. Why can’t I just show a form of identification to prove that it is me? I know that the money is refunded, but I just don’t have the amount that is required to get paid. That is the reason why he sent me the money. Is there some other way of showing proof of identity?
