Dear Tulsi,

In general which bank converts the currency called AD Bank for company.(should be authorised by RBI according to FEMA)

NRI who operates his account through NRE bank account, in this case AD bank should be the bank which converts the currency.  if Bank which hold NRI's NRE account convert the currency then in this case said bank is the AD bank but this bank will not issue FIRC.

You can request to bank for issuing a letter which contained remittance information.

Other views are solicited.
