Regulation 3(2) of the FEMA (Manner of Receipt and Payment) Regulations requires export receipt in the currency appropriate to the final destination as declared by the exporter, and does not envisage payment by a third party; therefore receipts from third parties for exports made before 08.11.2013 contravened Reg.3(2) - consequence: contravention established. RBI circulars of 08.11.2013 and 04.02.2014 subsequently permitted/regulated third-party payments subject to banks' satisfaction of bona fides and FATF norms - consequence: liberalisation applies prospectively.
