DGFT Invites Comments on Draft SOP for Reporting Remittances to NBFC Factors
The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), under the commerce ministry, has released a draft standard operating procedure (SOP) for reporting inward remittance messages related to Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC) factors. This initiative aims to improve transparency, efficiency, and ease of doing business in export remittance reconciliation. Stakeholders such as exporters, banks, NBFC factors, and trade bodies are invited to review the draft and submit comments within 30 days to facilitate the self-generation of Electronic Bank Realisation Certificates (eBRCs).
