Right time to come back and send money (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

remit

'send money' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'right time to come back' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'to come back' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'time' in reverse letter order is 'emit'.
'r'+'emit'='REMIT'

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for remit that I've seen before include "committee's brief" , "Pardon or transmit money" , "Brief - transfer" , "Shorten sentence or send money" , "instructions required" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
