Foreign Exchange Management Act 1999 – Export of Goods and Services

Export regulations govern authorised dealers' duties on documentation, realisation of export proceeds, and reporting obligations.

The Reserve Bank's Export Regulations and accompanying Annexure prescribe mandatory procedures for export declaration forms (GR/PP/SDF/SOFTEX), permitted modes of receipt of export value via authorised dealers, invoicing and valuation processes for goods and software exports, and conditions for exemptions and special permissions. Authorised dealers must verify documentation, countersign PP forms under specified conditions, maintain export registers, report transactions to Reserve Bank, and follow procedures for short/shut-out shipments, part-drawings, consignment exports, write-offs of unrealised bills, and remittances such as agency commissions, subject to documentary requirements and surrender of incentives where applicable.
