Recommendations

  • RBL accepts a 'customer statement providing gist of invoices raised and services rendered' in place of a contract. easylancing's monthly invoice register can serve as this statement.
  • Grievances/appeals on EDF handling go through RBL's 'Raise & Track Your Request or Complaint' portal (same link for appeals).
  • When a foreign credit arrives, give a disposal instruction with the exact purpose code (P0802 software consultancy/implementation, P0807 off-site software exports, P1006 business/management consultancy, P1007 advertising, P1014 engineering, P1099 other services). Do not let it be booked as a personal/family remittance (P13xx).
  • For INR credits from a PA-CB (Wise Business, Skydo, Razorpay MoneySaver, Xflow, BriskPe, etc.) keep the provider's FIRA/e-FIRC and attach it with the invoice when the bank asks for realisation evidence.
