Frequently asked questions
How long is the export realisation period for services?
Generally nine months from the invoice date, or twelve months where you invoice or settle in Indian rupees. Your AD bank can extend it on a reasoned request.
What should the reason say?
Be specific and factual — a budget delay, a dispute being resolved, or a client's payment cycle — and attach proof such as emails. Vague reasons are harder for the bank to accept.
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.
