I am attaching herewith the Master Circular's Copy regarding ECB; U need to check whether ur company fall under the Automatic Route or Approval Route. If any one the condition of Automatic Route is not satisfied it will fall under Aproval Route. For Automatic Route:- 1. File F-83 with AD and RBI for allottment of Loan Registration Number (LRN) 2. After receiving LRN, u can draw draw down the loan. 3. Regular compliance would be File ECB-2 monthly within seven working days from the close of month to which it relates. For Approval Route:- 1. File F-ECB for seeking RBI approval. 2. After obtaining the approval, u can draw down the loan amount. 3. Regular compliance would be File ECB-2 monthly within seven working days from the close of month to which it relates. Regards,

Thank you for the reply. Please clarify further, does ECB guidelines gets attracted if we take the remittance NOT AS A LOAN. But as amount that'll be reimbursed, without any agreement.

Upto my understanding;

If you are in receipt of fund from any one you will have to book the same, under which head you will book that. Irrespective of the rate of interest, it should be treated as ECB or trade Credit as the case may be.

Others views solicited.
