What decides which EDF an invoice belongs on is the <\/span><b>month it was raised<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, not the month you get paid. Ten invoices spread across three months means three EDFs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3><b>Key takeaways<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><b>One EDF per month<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can cover every invoice raised that month, across all your clients. Each invoice is one row.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Deadline:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> within 30 days from the end of the month the invoice was raised. October invoices, for example, are due by 30 November.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Instalments don&#8217;t add rows.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> One invoice is one row, however many payments arrive against it.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Invoice month drives it.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Under the standard route, a October invoice paid in December still belongs on October&#8217;s EDF.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Check with your bank<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on the edge cases: payments split across banks, months with no invoices, and the &#8220;file by payment date&#8221; option.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><b>First, what is an EDF? (in plain terms)<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Under RBI&#8217;s Foreign Exchange Management (Export and Import of Goods and Services) Regulations, service exporters declare their exports on an <\/span><b>Export Declaration Form (EDF)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. You submit it to your <\/span><b>AD bank<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (Authorised Dealer bank, the bank that handles your foreign exchange receipts).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The bank then records it on <\/span><b>EDPMS<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (Export Data Processing and Monitoring System), which is RBI&#8217;s database that tracks each export entry until the money arrives and the entry is closed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For software exporters, the EDF replaced the old SOFTEX form. For other service exporters (design, consulting, marketing, development agencies and the like), it brought in a declaration they didn&#8217;t previously have to file.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><b>EDF for multiple invoices: five scenarios<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find the row that looks like your month.

All ten can go on <\/span><b>one October EDF, as ten rows<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, due by 30 November. The rules allow a single EDF to cover all services exported to one or more recipients in a month.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Note that consolidating is an option the rules give you, not a requirement. How you actually submit (portal, email, bank template) is set by each AD bank&#8217;s own procedure, so check your bank&#8217;s process before your first filing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><b>Scenario 2: ten invoices, three months<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If those ten invoices were raised across October, November and December, you file <\/span><b>three EDFs<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: one per invoice month.

The count of invoices doesn&#8217;t change the count of forms; the number of months does.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><b>Scenario 3: one invoice, three instalments<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A $9,000 project billed on one invoice, paid as $3,000 three times, is still <\/span><b>one row<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The EDF captures details invoice by invoice (invoice number, date, currency, amount), so payments against the same invoice don&#8217;t create new rows.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What the instalments do affect is tracking. A first payment doesn&#8217;t close the invoice; the rest is still outstanding until it arrives. Ask your bank how it wants part payments noted. Service export proceeds are generally expected within 9 months of the invoice date (12 months for rupee-invoiced exports).<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><b>Scenario 4: invoiced in October, paid in December<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Under the standard route, this invoice goes on your <\/span><b>October EDF<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, due 30 November, even though the money only arrives in December. That feels backwards, but it is how the rule is written: the deadline runs from the invoice month, not the payment date. The EDPMS entry simply stays open until the payment comes in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is one wrinkle. The rules also allow filing <\/span><b>on or before the date you receive payment<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as an alternative. The common reading is that this applies to services other than software, so if you plan to rely on it, confirm with your AD bank first.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><b>Scenario 5: money lands in two banks<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The basic rule: file with the AD bank through which the proceeds are <\/span><b>realised<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, meaning the bank that receives the money. If you collect through a payment platform, banks may handle that differently, so ask yours how it wants the EDF filed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The split case is less clear-cut: some invoices paid into Bank A, others into Bank B. Does each bank get its own EDF for its share? <\/span><b>Ask both banks directly<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and get their answer in writing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><b>Edge cases to confirm with your bank<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A few situations depend on how your bank applies the rules. Worth a quick email before you file:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>The payment-date option:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> whether your bank lets you use it, and for which services.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Months with no invoices:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the obligation follows the invoice, so a month with no invoices has nothing to declare. Check whether your bank still wants a nil filing.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Format and channel:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> each AD bank sets its own procedure for how the EDF is submitted, so the practical format can differ from bank to bank.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>RBI updates:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> RBI issues FAQs and circulars from time to time. If your bank points you to newer guidance, that takes priority over any general explainer, this one included.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>A habit that helps:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> keep a simple monthly invoice register with invoice number, date, client, country, amount, currency, expected payment date and receiving bank. Whatever format your bank uses, those are the details each EDF row will draw from.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><b>A note on the \u20b910 lakh figure<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may have heard that bills under \u20b910 lakh are &#8220;exempt&#8221;. They aren&#8217;t. The \u20b910 lakh figure is a per-bill limit for bank self-declaration and closing the entry on EDPMS; it does not remove the EDF filing itself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><b>And if you&#8217;re a freelancer?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RBI has clarified that individuals with contracts of a personal nature are not covered by these reporting requirements.
