What happens after I file the EDF?

Your bank must record the export in RBI's Export Data Processing and Monitoring System (EDPMS) within five working days of receiving your EDF. When your payment arrives, the bank matches it to that entry and closes it.

For an invoice of ₹10 lakh or less, your bank may close the entry on your written declaration that you received the payment, in full or in part. For larger invoices, your bank may ask for the invoice and proof of payment. Your e-FIRA is that proof. Download it from Dashboard → Statements → find the transaction → Download FIRA.
