Brc bank ralization certificate

Jane (Export) (48 Points)

BRC (Bank Realization Certificate) is issued by banks to its customers against export transaction. My firm is doing export and not obtaining BRC from bank for all export transaction. We are issuing BRC for few export transactions, which are required for obtaining benefit from government.

My question is:-

Is BRC a mandatory document & should issue for all export shipments? One guy advised me to issue BRC for all export shipment. Is BRC a regulatory requirement? If not issued, bank will take any action?

Banks are not issuing BRC for OFAC countries. Is there any alternative for doing business with OFAC countries?

NO. ACTUALLY BANK IS UPLOADING THE REALISATION DETAILS TO DGFT . IF YOU WANT THE E BRC, DOCUMENTS MUST BE PROCESSED THROUGH BANK.

Dear Jane,

In export when you send the export post shipment document to your banker for realisation of export proceeds ,the bank will allot a number to your document and process further for geting the value of export realised.When any Foreign Cusrrency is received as an export proceeds the bank will issue Foreign Inward Remittance Certificate mentioning the number which the bank had alotted to your document so that document and remittance can be corelated.The FIRC will be issued to you and e BRC will be gerated on the web .

If any advance payment has come ,your bank will issue FIRC withou any number and you export against that payment you need to contact your bank and inform that you have effected export against the advance payment which you had received and for which the bank had issued FIRC.The bank then mark the export against the advance paymnet and generate e BRC.

Dear Malay Pota,

Thanks for your reply. But my question is till not answered.

1. I have done export and received payment. But I wont' like to issue BRC from bank. Is there any regulatory issue.

2. Banks are not executing export documents for Sudan, Iran, Syria, Cuba etc (OFAC listed countries). What are the alternatives?

If you do not want any export benefits under the Foreign Trade Policy or other Laws applicable to your business doen not require BRC for giving you export benefits then you donot require BRC.

The above said Countries are Sanction Countries which means the Govenrment of India has issued direction as per the agreement entered in to with other Countries that no any export be made to the said Countries so no any export is to be made with that Countries and if amd the Banks in India will nopt deal with the export documents for receiving realisation.

Hope the above is now cleared.

Hope the above is cleared

HI,

My Question is "If we have received advance payment from other country and we have supplied goods to sanction country. In that case how can we get BRC"?
