EXTENSION OF REALISATION PERIOD OF EXPORT PROCEEDS

April 2, 2020

RBI has extended the time period for realisation and repatriation of proceeds for exports made up to or on 31 July to 15 months from the date of export.

About:

Presently value of the goods or software exports made by the exporters is required to be realized fully and repatriated to the country within a period of 9 months from the date of exports.
In view of the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the time period for realization and repatriation of export proceeds for exports made up to or on July 31, 2020, has been extended to 15 months from the date of export.
The measure will enable the exporters to realise their receipts, especially from COVID-19 affected countries within the extended period and also provide greater flexibility to the exporters to negotiate future export contracts with buyers abroad.
