Dear Professional Colleagues,

Greetings of the Day !

Government of India, Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Department of Commerce, Directorate General of Foreign Trade has issued a trade notice 33/2023-24 dated November 10, 2023 regarding Pilot Launch of the Upgraded Electronic Bank Realization Certificate (eBRC) system for self-certification by Exporters.

Highlights

Self-Certification for Exporters: To improve trade facilitation for exporters, directorate has implemented an enhanced electronic Bank Realisation Certificate (eBRC) system. This more streamlined process is based on electronic Inward Remittance Messages (IRMs) to be transmitted directly by banks to DGFT. Based on the IRMs received, the exporters shall self-certify their eBRCs.
Streamlined Workflow: The enhanced eBRC system shall enable exporters to reduce transaction time and costs. It would also ease the burden on bankers by simplifying the reconciliation of IRMs with shipping bills, SOFTEX, invoices, etc. and promote ease of doing business in general. A summary of the revamped eBRC system workflow is as follows –

i. Banks receiving Export Remittances will push the IRM message to the DGFT IT system electronically.
ii. Banks shall push the IRMs pertaining to the Trade Account only and not the IRMs pertain to Capital Account etc. i.e., remittances pertaining to Goods or Services Exports.
iii. IRM details will be accessible to the relevant IEC holder upon logging onto the DGFT Website (https://dgft.gov.in). Since IECs are linked to PAN, only the concerned IEC holder will have visibility to their IRM. iv. Exporter will create eBRCs by matching IRM with relevant shipping bills, SOFTEX, or invoice details. Multiple IRMs may be grouped under one eBRC, or one IRM can be split amongst several eBRCs.
v. eBRCs can be generated for Goods Exports, Services Exports, Deemed Exports.
vi. The RBI Purpose Code and other fields mentioned in the IRM shall be used to validate the eBRC fields being certified by the Exporter.
vii. Banks will have access to all eBRCs created from the IRMs they input. Banks would have the option to flag any eBRC for further examination or request input from the exporter concerned.

3. Pilot Launch: A soft launch of the revamped eBRC system is proposed with effect from 15th November 2023.
