Dear Expert
One of our clients wants to import merchandise from Iran into India
for which import invoice has been raised in Indian Rupee Currency
Thankful if you are able to guide me whether Import invoice in INR currency is permissible?
If so, kindly let us know the authority under which such payments are permitted for Import consignments into India
Warm Regards
Payment in Indian Rupees for imports may be possible under relevant RBI FEMA notifications and procedures. Whether invoices and payments for imports may be denominated in Indian Rupees is asked; the reply states such rupee denominated import payments 'should be possible' and points to Reserve Bank of India FEMA related notifications as the relevant authority and source of procedural guidance.
