How to Download and Print eBRC from the DGFT Portal
A certificate you cannot produce on demand does not help you in an audit. Here is exactly where the eBRC download sits on the DGFT portal, the one rule the search enforces, and how to get your numbers and your whole ledger out whenever you need them.
The download path on the DGFT portal
- Sign in to the DGFT portal with the account registered against your IEC.
- Open My Dashboard, then Repositories.
- Under the Bills Repositories tab, click Explore.
- From the bill type list, select Bank Realisations (e-BRC).
- Enter a From date and To date for the BRC issue date. The range is mandatory and must be a week or less.
- Give at least one of the e-BRC number, the shipping bill number or the authorisation number, then Search.
- Click the Bank Realisation hyperlink for the certificate you want, then use the Print e-BRC button next to the BRC type to save or print it as a PDF.
The date range is what catches people out. A search across a whole quarter returns nothing, not because the certificates are missing but because the DGFT portal only accepts a week at a time in this repository. Narrow the range to the week the certificate was issued and it appears. If the certificate does not exist yet, the download is the last step of generating the eBRC on the DGFT portal, and the same repository path is where a freshly generated certificate is printed from.
In the eBRC exporter app every certificate you filed sits in one ledger with its PDF and its number, with no date window to guess.
Downloading more than a week at a time
For a wider range, use Bulk Download Request instead of the repository search: pick the dates, and once the request shows as Processed the download link appears on the same screen. The DGFT site also exposes an eBRC option under its Services area, where a certificate can be viewed and printed by entering your IEC and the IFSC code of the bank branch that handled the remittance. Either route reaches the same certificate, and checking your eBRC status on the DGFT portal walks through both.
Where the eBRC number sits
The eBRC number is the Bank Realisation Number, the unique identifier the DGFT assigns to the realisation record. It is printed on the certificate, and it is the hyperlink you open in the repository to reach the certificate again. Bank and DGFT portals often ask you to paste that number rather than upload a file, so once the certificate is on screen, copy the number carefully; a transposed digit points a claim at a certificate that does not exist.
The same certificates in the eBRC exporter app
Every certificate you generate in the eBRC exporter app lands in eBRC Reports. Each one is listed with its eBRC number and date, your IEC, the bill or shipping-bill and invoice reference, the realised value with its currency, GST detail where applicable, a status, its utilisation, and the date it was realised. It is your complete certificate ledger in one screen, with no week-long search window.
Open any certificate to view it, then download it as a PDF. That PDF is the artefact you attach to a claim, hand to a consultant, or keep on file for an audit; there is no request queue and no waiting, because the certificate is already yours. Each certificate also lets you copy its eBRC number in one click, so you move it into another portal without retyping and without a transposed digit.
When an auditor asks for everything, the answer should be one file. Export the full set of certificates to Excel, with their realised values, statuses, and utilisation, rather than reconstructing the picture certificate by certificate.
The analytics you get alongside
The same screen totals your realisation position across five tiles: total realised value, active eBRCs, available balance ready to utilise, utilised, and cancelled. Available balance is the one to revisit, because it is realised money you have evidenced and not yet claimed.
In the app every certificate keeps its PDF and copyable number one click away; start free and your remittances are listed for you.
Frequently asked questions
How do I download an eBRC from the DGFT portal?
Sign in, open My Dashboard, Repositories, Bills Repository, choose Bank Realisations (e-BRC), give an issue date range of a week or less plus the e-BRC, shipping bill or authorisation number, open the Bank Realisation hyperlink and use Print e-BRC.
Why does the DGFT eBRC search return nothing?
Usually the BRC issue date range is wider than a week. The repository search only accepts a week or less, so narrow the range to the week the certificate was issued. For a wider range, use Bulk Download Request, and the download link appears on the same screen once the request shows as Processed.
Where is the eBRC number?
The eBRC number is the Bank Realisation Number printed on the certificate. On the DGFT portal it is the hyperlink you open in the repository; in the eBRC exporter app on ebrc.in it sits beside each certificate with a one-click copy.
How do I download my eBRC as a PDF?
On the DGFT portal, open the certificate in the Bills Repository and use Print e-BRC. In the eBRC exporter app, open the certificate in eBRC Reports and download it as a PDF; there is no request queue and no waiting.
Can I export all my eBRCs at once?
Yes. In the eBRC exporter app, export the full set of certificates to Excel, with their realised values, statuses, and utilisation, so an audit is one file rather than a reconstruction.
