26 May 2012 There is no restriction on invoicing of export contracts in Indian Rupees in
terms of the Rules, Regulations, Notifications and Directions framed under the Foreign Exchange Management Act 1999. Further, in terms of Para 2.40 of the
Foreign Trade Policy (August 27, 2009 - March 31, 2014), “All export contracts and
invoices shall be denominated either in freely convertible currency or in Indian
Rupees but export proceeds shall be realised in freely convertible currency.
However, export proceeds against specific exports may also be realised in rupees
provided it is through a freely convertible Vostro account of a non-resident bank
situated in any country, other than a member country of the ACU or Nepal or
Bhutan”.

Indian Rupee is not a freely convertible currency, as yet.

28 May 2012 dear anonymous,

also Noted para 2.40 of the foreign trade policy 2009-2014 which allows exports contract/invoices to be denominated in indian rupees .

noted:
*****

As per para 2.40 of the Foreign Trade Policy,

All export contracts and invoices shall be denominated either in freely convertible currency or Indian rupees but export proceeds shall be realised in freely convertible currency.

However export proceeds against specific exports may also be realized in rupees provided it is through a freely convertible Vostro account of a non resident bank situated in any country other than a member country of ACU or Nepal or Bhutan.
Additionally, rupee payment through Vostro account must be against payment in free foreign currency by buyer in his non-resident bank account. Free foreign exchange remitted by buyer to his non-resident bank (after deducting the bank service charges) on account of this transaction would be taken as export realization under export promotion schemes of FTP.

Contracts for which payments are received through Asian Clearing Union (ACU)] shall be denominated in ACU Dollar. Central Government may relax provisions of this paragraph in appropriate cases. Export contracts and Invoices can be denominated in Indian rupees against EXIM Bank / Government of India line of credit.

The Doubt: whether the benefit of Export Promotion Schemes, including incentive schemes, are available to exporters realizing free foreign exchange in ACU$.

The clarification: since ACU$ is equivalent to freely convertible currency as per RBI guidelines, benefits of Export Promotion schemes including the Incentive Schemes, being administered by DGFT, shall be available to the exporters for realisation in ACU$.
