One such mandatory document is the Bank Realization Certificate (BRC), now digitized as the Electronic Bank Realization Certificate (e-BRC). Issued by banks and managed by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), the e-BRC acts as legal proof that the exporter has received payment for goods shipped overseas.
However, many exporters still face confusion around how to download e-BRC and how to print it out from the DGFT website. This blog explains how you can download e-BRC from DGFT and how to print e-BRC for smooth, hassle-free compliance.

What is e-BRC?
The Electronic Bank Realization Certificate, or e-BRC, is a digital document issued by authorized banks. It confirms the receipt of payment for foreign exchange earnings through exports. The digital certificate eliminates previous paperwork hassles, making the documentation process for exporters faster, secure, and less error prone.1
An e-BRC is essential for exporters to prove payment realization, apply for government export benefits, and maintain regulatory compliance. Indian banks generate e-BRCs and transmit them securely and electronically to the DGFT server, leveraging encryption and digital signatures for authenticity.

What is the purpose of an e-BRC?
In the past, obtaining a Bank Realization Certificate (BRC) involved the cumbersome task of physically submitting an application to the respective DGFT regional authority. BRC details would have to be manually entered into the DGFT application and then processed. This made the process complex and time-consuming.
By integrating e-BRC with banking systems, the DGFT can receive electronic information on shipping bills and foreign currency realization. These details are cross-checked with corresponding shipping bill data, including Freight on Board (FOB) value and e-BRC information, to ensure the accurate determination of incentives for exporters.2
The streamlined e-BRC acquisition process has improved efficiency by reducing human intervention and transaction costs. With e-BRC, exporters can easily claim export incentives and benefits such as subsidies, low-cost loans, duty exemptions, etc., through the DGFT online portal.
