Category of exporter: The RBI form's "others" works for service exporters; ask BoB if unsure.

How to submit it to Bank of Baroda

  • Through a Category B (forex) branch, which uploads it to BoB's Trade Finance Back Office: TFBO Bengaluru for the South and North-East, TFBO Gandhinagar for other states. A Category C branch sends it through its mapped Category B branch.

  • Due within 30 days after the end of the month in which you invoiced: October 2026 invoices by 30 Nov 2026. One EDF covers all of a month's invoices. Work out your due date.

What to attach

  • The EDF and your invoices, with the SAC code.
  • Disposal instructions and the purpose code for each inward payment.

Individuals: you may not need to file

The regulations have no exemption for individuals. But on 7 October 2026 RBI's Governor said individuals don't have to report transactions of a personal nature, whatever the amount, and gave tutoring and small software work for clients abroad as examples; a Deputy Governor said individuals aren't included for contracts of a personal nature. RBI has promised an FAQ, which isn't out yet.

Until the FAQ is out, companies, LLPs and firms file; if you invoice in your own name, ask Bank of Baroda whether it wants an EDF from you. Who files.
