Export of Goods and Software – Realisation and Repatriation of export proceeds – Liberalisation

Dear Friends

RBI today came with A.P. (DIR Series) Circular No.57  dated June 29, 2010 to increase the period of realisation and repatriation to India of the amount representing the full export value of goods or software exported, from six months to twelve months from the date of export, subject to review after one year. 


It is to be noted that the issue has since been reviewed and it has been decided, in consultation with the Government of India, to extend the above relaxation up to March 31, 2011.


The provisions in regard to period of realisation and repatriation to India  of the full export value of goods or software exported by a unit situated in a Special Economic Zone (SEZ) as well as exports made to warehouses established outside India remains unchanged.

The Directions contained in this circular have been issued under sections 10(4) and 11(1) of the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA), 1999 (42 of 1999) and are without prejudice to permissions / approvals, if any, required under any other law.
