DGFT eBRC Login: Where to Sign In and What Fails
Most eBRC work on the DGFT portal starts at the same door: the login. This guide is the whole of that door. Which account the login takes, the direct route in, where the eBRC screens live once you are inside, and what to do about each of the errors that keep people out.
Which account the eBRC login takes
The login that reaches your certificates is the ordinary DGFT portal login. Searching for an eBRC login page or an eBRC portal password finds nothing separate, because nothing separate exists. Have three things ready before you sign in.
- The registered login. DGFT accounts are registered with an email and mobile number. The person who set up your IEC profile chose them, and the one time this becomes urgent is when that person has left the company.
- Your password, or the patience for the reset flow, which runs on a one time password sent to the registered mobile and email.
- Your IEC linked to the account. Certificates belong to the IEC, not to the login. A fresh account that has not linked the IEC sees an empty portal.
The sign in path, in order
- Open dgft.gov.in and choose Login at the top right.
- Enter your registered credentials and the captcha.
- You land on the dashboard. Open My Dashboard, then Repositories.
- Under Bank Realisations (eBRC), the Explore link opens the repository: your inward remittances on one tab, your certificates on the other.
That is the entire route. Generating a certificate from here is its own walkthrough, kept separately in how to generate an eBRC on the DGFT portal. Checking one that already exists is in how to check your eBRC status.
When you cannot get in
The password is wrong, or forgotten
Use Forgot Password on the login screen. The reset runs on an OTP to the registered mobile and email, so it only works if you still control them. If you do not, the recovery runs through updating the registered contact details, and that is worth doing on a quiet day rather than the day a claim is due.
The OTP does not arrive
Give it a moment before resending, and check the registered mobile is the one you think it is. OTPs go to the number DGFT has on record, not to the number you wish it had. If the registered number is stale, that is the actual problem to fix.
Repeated attempts stop working
If the portal stops accepting attempts after several wrong passwords, more guessing does not help. The reset flow above is the way back in.
If the login is the recurring obstacle rather than a one off, connecting your DGFT account to the eBRC exporter app once takes it out of every certificate after that; the last section explains how.
When you are in, but see nothing
The portal looks empty
The login worked and the IEC linkage is the problem. An account that has not linked your IEC shows none of your remittances and none of your certificates. Link the IEC from the profile section once, and everything appears.
The remittance you came for is not there
That is not a login problem at all, and it has its own set of causes and fixes: why an IRM is not showing on DGFT.
The route that removes the login
A portal session ends when you sign out, which is how a government portal is meant to work. For a desk filing every week that means signing in every week; for one filing twice a year it means starting over each time. There is a second way to hold the same certificate: connect your DGFT account to the eBRC exporter app once, and the portal session stops being part of the routine. The state persists between sessions: your remittances arrive on their own and are already listed, the certificates you have filed are already there with their numbers and PDFs, and checking a status is reading a page rather than signing in to look. You map each remittance to its invoice, and the certificate, the same DGFT issued eBRC, is usually back in about two hours. The whole comparison is written up in generating an eBRC without a DGFT portal login. The exporter app is free at any volume, with no certificate limit: create an account, or sign in if you already have one.
Frequently asked questions
What is the DGFT eBRC login link?
There is no separate eBRC login. You sign in once at dgft.gov.in and the eBRC screens live inside, under My Dashboard, Repositories, Bank Realisations.
Do I need to log in to the DGFT portal to get an eBRC?
No. The portal is one route. The other is connecting your DGFT account to a managed workspace once, after which you file from there and the certificate comes back without a portal session.
Why is my DGFT OTP not arriving?
OTPs go to the mobile and email registered with DGFT. If those are stale, no amount of resending helps. Update the registered contacts, then reset.
Why does the DGFT portal look empty after I log in?
The login worked and the IEC is not linked to the account. Certificates and remittances belong to the IEC. Link it once from the profile section and your records appear.
Can my CA or team member log in for me?
Anyone with the credentials can sign in, and that is exactly why shared passwords drift out of control. A managed workspace with its own team access keeps the DGFT credentials in one pair of hands while the team still sees every certificate.
