EDF field help
Search the explanations. Verify classifications with the bank or prescribed form; this draft does not auto-assign regulatory codes.
Exporter identity
Use the name of the person or entity actually contracting and issuing the invoice. Keep business context clear.
Authorised dealer / designated authority
Confirm the bank or authority handling the transaction. A bank directory entry does not confirm EDF acceptance.
Invoice reference and date
Use the original reference and invoice date. Keep accepted earnings statements separately described.
Overseas customer
Use the contractual recipient. A platform or processor may be different from the customer and actual payer.
Currency and amount
Use the invoice currency and gross amount. Keep different currencies in separate totals.
Receipt reference
Use a real bank or provider transaction reference if available. Leave pending receipts clearly marked.
Purpose and service codes
These are distinct taxonomies. Ask your bank for its current purpose-code list and check the prescribed form’s separate classification instructions. No code is automatically assigned here.
Declaration, certification and signature
Only the authorised person should sign the final declaration. Leave bank/authority acceptance fields for that authority.
IEC and PAN
These serve different purposes. Check DGFT paragraph 2.05 for service/technology IEC requirements; do not invent identifiers.
