Construction purpose codes

RBI's receipt purpose list carries 2 codes in group 05: P0501, P0502. Receipts for construction services, both for projects in India and for works carried out abroad by Indian companies.

DGFT's guidelines do not name P0501. They say that for a service export the exporter can attach only invoices whose SAC code matches the description of the service, and that no two purpose codes may be clubbed in one eBRC except with P0103. So where P0501 is the right description of a service you exported, the eBRC is generated with P0501 on its own, or clubbed with P0103, against an invoice whose SAC code matches that service. The same holds for every code in group 05; each code's page on ebrc.in states the rule that applies.

The AD bank that receives the payment. It reports the remittance to the RBI with the code that describes it, and that report is the IRM the eBRC is generated from. A code that looks wrong is corrected through the bank.
