Hi,
I am Chetan Pinrani. I am an exporter.
One of my Overseas client wanted a sample of our product. As he does not have account with courier company he sent me courier charges in Advance. Sample is Free of cost.
As I received this amount in my Bank Account, our banker issued FIRC and debited charges for the same.
When I inquired for the same, they said that issuing of FIRC is compulsory producedure and they need to do it when they receive funds from Overseas in other currency.
They informed me that if I do not wish to receive this certificate then they will not issue FIRC next time but that will be forever. In future if I need this certificate they will not provide this certificate.
Now I have to reply them that Do I need this certificate or not?
As my business is export, I always have proof of exporting like Shipping Bill, Bill of Lading, Packing List etc. Do I really need this certificate?
Kindly Guide,
Chetan Pinrani
