Frequently asked questions
What is an AD code?
It is a code that identifies the Authorised Dealer bank branch handling your export transactions. It goes into field 1.6 of the EDF.
Is the AD code the same as IFSC?
No. IFSC routes domestic payments and SWIFT routes international ones; the AD code is used for export reporting.
Can I edit the wording?
Yes. Download the Word file and change anything you like — the layout stays intact. Or print on your own letterhead by choosing "Leave space" under Date, place & style.
