How to Download and Print E-BRC from DGFT?

Electronic Bank Realisation Certificates (e-BRCs) are crucial in the exporting environment in India, as exporters use them in claiming government benefits and ensuring compliance with regulatory models. E-BRCs are electronically issued by banks and posted in the DGFT portal and require evidence that export payments have been actualised against foreign exchange.

It does not matter whether you are a first-time exporter who is confused over the documentation process or an experienced trader who wants to claim an export promotion incentive; learning how you download and print e-BRC from DGFT becomes very essential. 

What is BRC Certification?

The bank issues a Bank Realisation Certificate (BRC) as proof that an exporter has received payment from an importer for the exported goods. Exporters should report to the bank the value of the goods that they intend to export. The banks will record the export transactions on the Export Data Processing and Monitoring System (EDPMS). When the exporters receive payments, they should submit all shipping bills to the banks. The banks will cancel the items recorded in the EDPMS and issue an e-BRC against the shipping bill payments.

What is e-BRC Certification?

The full form of e-BRC is Electronic Bank Realisation Certificate. It is an initiative by the DGFT aimed at promoting paperless trade and digitising BRCs. Since 17/08/2012, banks have been required to transmit BRC data electronically to the DGFT server, secured with a digital signature. The BRCs transmitted electronically by the banks are referred to as e-BRCs.

Therefore, e-BRCs serve as electronic documents that confirm receipt of payments by exporters for their trade transactions.
