Recommendations
- Do not use Unity SFB to receive freelance export income until it publishes a trade-remittance service and an export (Reg. 19) policy.
- Do not use this account to receive export proceeds. Open an account at an AD Category-I bank, have clients/platforms pay there, and file monthly EDFs with that bank.
- Ask your branch or relationship manager how it wants the monthly EDF for services. Most banks take it at the branch or through the relationship manager; business customers may be able to use a trade portal.
- Ask whether it accepts PAN when you don't have an IEC.
- Take the printed EDF, the covering letter, copies of the invoices and any FIRA / e-FIRC.
- Your bank must publish its export policy on its website (Reg. 19). Look for "export" or "FEMA" policy documents there.
