What happens if I miss the EDF deadline?

Ask your bank for an extension as soon as you notice. The regulations let your bank extend the deadline when you give reasons it finds reasonable.

They also bar your bank from charging you any charge or penalty for a regulatory delay on your part. That limits what your bank can charge. It does not remove your duty to file. A missed filing is still a contravention that RBI can penalise under section 13 of FEMA, so file as soon as you can.
