Financial data on a screen representing inward remittance flows and settlement

IRM Settlement & Purpose Code

Get inward remittances applied cleanly, under the right purpose code, the first time.

USD credited but not applied. Wrong purpose code sitting on last quarter's exports. AD bank asking for one more document, again. Every unapplied IRM is an EDPMS entry that will open, an eBRC that won't issue, and a FEMA question waiting to be asked.

Why unapplied IRMs hurt

An IRM sitting unapplied is a downstream compliance chain waiting to break.

EDPMS opens

Every unapplied IRM against an export leaves an EDPMS entry open at the AD bank.

eBRC blocked

Wrong or missing purpose code stops the AD bank from issuing an eBRC on DGFT.

FEMA classification

Wrong purpose code misclassifies the receipt under FEMA reporting to RBI.

Client friction

Unapplied remittances trigger duplicate confirmation requests to the overseas client.

Reconciliation debt

Every unapplied IRM adds hours of finance-team reconciliation at quarter-end.

Four steps. Clear timelines. One person accountable.

Diagnose

02

Reconcile

Purpose-code checks, document matching, gap analysis, you get a clean list of what settles as-is and what needs bank amendment.

03

File

We prepare application and correction requests in the exact AD-bank-accepted format, with the evidence pack attached.

04

Close

IRMs are applied on the bank dashboard, EDPMS entries close, eBRCs unblock, and you get an evidence pack for your compliance file.

Led by a senior banking practitioner with 15+ years across forex desks and FEMA reporting, the same side of the table that raises the IRM queries you're trying to close.

The position

USD 1.9M of inward remittances sitting unapplied at the AD bank for two quarters. Wrong purpose codes had blocked 63 downstream EDPMS entries and stalled eBRC issuance for the same shipments.

What we did

  • Pulled the AD-bank IRM dashboard and mapped every remittance
  • Corrected 12 purpose codes and re-applied 47 remittances
  • Matched every applied IRM to its shipping bill for EDPMS closure
  • Coordinated with the AD-bank trade desk end-to-end
  • Triggered eBRC issuance downstream for the applied bills
  • Delivered a clean evidence file for the quarter-end audit

The outcome

USD 1.9M applied cleanly, 63 EDPMS entries closed downstream, eBRCs issued against the reconciled shipments, and a working IRM-settlement checklist handed over so the pattern doesn't repeat.
