Hi, We are a startup and provide software services to companies outside of India. Currently we are receiving our payments from US, UK and EU and we are paid via swift transfers in our Indian bank account. We also have outgoings in USD as some of our freelancers are based out of the US , Ukraine and Poland
We lose out a lot on FX conversions and our clients prefer to pay us locally in their own countries. So I was hoping you could advise:

1. if we need permission to open an overseas bank account to receive payments in US and UK local via local bank transfer? or what do we need to consider before opening a bank account overseas ?
2. We have come across a company that can offer overseas accounts to an Indian based company. Is holding an electronic money account overseas by an Indian company legal? the e-money account is opened with an Electronic Money Institution regulated by overseas regulator. They transfer the money deposited by the account holder to a tier-1 bank. This is called safeguarding.
3. We would like to collect the payments overseas in this e-money multicurrency account. Thereafter, we wish to pay the freelancers located abroad directly from the overseas account and remit the remaining money back to our Indian Bank Account. The money is received in India through an RBI approved OPGSP who has tied up with the multi-currency account provider.
4. do we need to be registered and recognized as an Exporter under Foreign Trade Policy? What if, we have been conducting our business so far without having to register our company as an exporter in India? Are there any legal implications? we offer software support services to overseas buyers/clients who then transfer our fees/charges/payments through normal banking channels to our Indian current account. recently, we thought of using Payoneer to receive money from our overseas clients, but they asked us to declare that we are duly registered as an exporter in India
