What details do I need to fill in the EDF?

Keep these ready: your IEC (Importer Exporter Code), your PAN, your GSTIN if you are registered, and your bank's AD code. Ask your bank for the AD code. It is not the IFSC or SWIFT code. For each invoice you also need the client's name, address and country, the invoice number and date, the currency and amount, a description of the service and its six-digit SAC.

Our guide walks through every field: how to fill the EDF for service exports.
