Where the wording and the rules come from

The wording in the table is RBI’s, from the receipt purpose list in Annex I to A.P. (DIR Series) Circular No. 84 dated 29 February 2012, the list Authorised Dealer banks report foreign exchange receipts against. The eBRC column is DGFT’s, from its General Guidelines for Generating eBRC (last updated 26 March 2024), and each code’s page quotes the rule behind its entry. How the purpose code is checked when a remittance is mapped is in RBI purpose codes on your eBRC.

RBI's receipt purpose list carries 1 codes in group 17: P1701. Receipts for processing goods.

DGFT's guidelines do not name P1701. 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 P1701 is the right description of a service you exported, the eBRC is generated with P1701 on its own, or clubbed with P0103, against an invoice whose SAC code matches that service. The same holds for every code in group 17; 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.
