An electronic Foreign Inward Remittance Certificate, known as e-FIRC, is the digital counterpart of the physical FIRC. Banks issue it after uploading the payment receipt on the Export Data Processing and Monitoring System (EDPMS).
To obtain the e-FIRC, the beneficiary must request the bank to upload the payment receipt on EDPMS. Once the request is made, the bank will upload the payment receipt on EDPMS and generate an inward remittance (IRM) number. This IRM number will henceforth be referred to as the e-FIRC number.
