In our latest article, we delve into the details of BRC (Bank Realisation Certificate) and e-BRC (Electronic Bank Realisation Certificate) - crucial certificates for export businesses. These certificates serve as proof of payment realization against exported goods or services.
Previously, exporters had to physically visit their banks to obtain a BRC, which could be a time-consuming process. However, with the introduction of e-BRC by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) in 2012, exporters can now access their BRC digitally, making it easier to claim export benefits and incentives.
The e-BRC is an electronic document that officially records foreign trade transactions, and it has replaced the older tangible BRC format. With the integration of banks, foreign exchange realization details can be seamlessly linked to shipping bills, simplifying the process of verifying incentives.
Exporters can now check and download their e-BRCs from the DGFT website. By logging in to the DGFT portal and navigating to the 'Bills Repositories' section, exporters can access their e-BRCs by selecting the relevant bank and date range. The e-BRC can be printed or downloaded for further reference.
To claim export incentives, exporters need to link the relevant shipping invoices with their e-BRCs. The DGFT will use this information to determine the value of the incentives to be provided. It's important for exporters to ensure that the e-BRC value accurately reflects the total realized value reported by the bank. Any discrepancies should be promptly addressed by the bank.
The e-BRC data is also shared with other government agencies, making it easier for exporters to support their claims for GST or Input Tax Credit (ITC) refunds. This integration streamlines the export-related transaction process under GST.
