โFIRA/FIRS/NOCs simplified the process of clearing BRCs and helped me save a lot of time as it used to be required to follow up with banks to request FIRA/FIRS/NOCs. With Payoneer, itโs quite easy to download FIRA/FIRS/NOCs from their portal. This used to be extremely tedious, but today, Payoneer makes this process hassle-free. Great work Payoneer!โ

Frequently asked questions
FIRC (Foreign Inward Remittance Certificate)โฏ is a vital physical document issued by an Authorized Dealer (AD) bank that acts as proof of payments received in foreign currency (inward remittance) by you as an Indian exporter (be it a business or freelancer or sole proprietor).ย
If youโre an Indian seller, exporter, or service provider receiving payments from abroad, proof of foreign currency payment such as FIRC or FIRA/FIRS/NOC is a vital document. It serves multiple crucial purposes:
- Proving receipt of foreign inward remittances against your export business & realization of the outstanding export bills (whenever applicable).ย
- Claiming any potential tax benefits.ย
- Qualifying for export promotion incentives through various Government schemesย
NOC, which stands for No Objection Certificate, contains comparable information to FIRA or FIRS. NOC confirms to the beneficiary bank that the remittance converting bank (intermediary bank) has no objection to the issuance of e-FIRC and e-BRC by the beneficiaryโs bank.ย
An electronic Foreign Inward Remittance Certificate, known as e-FIRC, is the digital counterpart of the physical FIRC. Banks issue it after uploading the payment receipt on the Export Data Processing and Monitoring System (EDPMS).ย
To obtain the e-FIRC, the beneficiary must request the bank to upload the payment receipt on EDPMS. Once the request is made, the bank will upload the payment receipt on EDPMS and generate an inward remittance (IRM) number. This IRM number will henceforth be referred to as the e-FIRC number.
Please reach out to Payoneer Customer Care through any of the options available to you, post logging into Payoneer portal and we would be glad to help you.ย
Reserve Bank of India (RBI) issues the list of purpose of payments (referred to as purpose codes) which are unique codes to specify the type of foreign currency transactions.ย
