What this site is
From 1 October 2026, Indian residents who invoice foreign clients for services generally declare those invoices in an Export Declaration Form (EDF) under the Foreign Exchange Management (Export and Import of Goods and Services) Regulations, 2026.
edffiling.in gives you:
- A free EDF checker that follows the invoice date and points you to due dates and filing channels.
- Practical guides — Softex vs EDF, how to file with your AD bank, and more as we publish them.
- Plain-language summaries grounded in the FEMA text, with flags where bank practice still varies.
Who it is for
- Freelancers and consultants billing overseas clients
- Agencies, studios and IT/ITES exporters
- Creators and AdSense / platform-paid exporters
- SaaS and software exporters moving off Softex
If you are unsure whether a specific invoice needs an EDF, start with the checker.
