As per FEMA, All exports proceeds must be realized within 180 days from the last date of exports or completion of the overseas project. Unless there is a contract between buyer and seller for delayed payments and you have informed your bankers well in advance. As such payment received in full and late for what so ever reasons and officially credited in to your A/c. with bank where you ahve submitted export documents. There is no violation of Act. Just reply the Showcasue notice [ if already served by your bankers/RBI] giving the facts for delayed payment.
