Intellectual Property purpose codes

RBI's receipt purpose list carries 2 codes in group 09: P0901, P0902. Receipts for franchises and for licensing patents, copyrights, trademarks, industrial processes and produced originals.

DGFT's guidelines do not name P0901. 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 P0901 is the right description of a service you exported, the eBRC is generated with P0901 on its own, or clubbed with P0103, against an invoice whose SAC code matches that service. The same holds for every code in group 09; 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.
