RBI Simplifies Forex Reporting for Service Exporters and Importers with Rs 10 Lakh Threshold
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has amended foreign exchange reporting rules for service exporters and importers, simplifying compliance for resident individuals and small transactions. Resident individuals exporting services will be deemed to have submitted the Export Declaration Form (EDF) upon providing payment details to authorized dealer banks. For other exporters and importers, a Rs 10 lakh threshold applies, below which reporting requirements are relaxed. These changes, effective retrospectively from October 1, 2026, also ease import reporting under the Import Data Processing and Monitoring System (IDPMS).
