The exporter's realisation clock.
The goods left, and a clock started that nobody in the warehouse can see. Put your dates in and see the date the proceeds are due, how many days are left or how many you are past, how much of the invoice is still outstanding, and what an open entry actually does at your bank. Computed in your browser, on your numbers, with nothing sent anywhere.
Enter whichever dates you have. The Regulations run the period from the date of shipment, which is not always the date printed on the shipping bill, so the tool lets you say which one starts your clock.
This is a field and not an assumption, because the period has moved and is moving again. Take it from the Master Direction in force on your shipment's own date.
Nine months from the date of export. The period in force for shipments made up to 30-09-2026.
Regulation 9(1) of the Foreign Exchange Management (Export of Goods and Services) Regulations, 2015, Notification No. FEMA 23(R)/2015-RB, as restated at paragraph A.2(i) of FED Master Direction No. 16/2015-16 on Export of Goods and Services, effective 12-01-2016. Read it on rbi.org.in9 months from the Let Export Order dated 04-03-2026.
What is still to come in, and what share of the invoice it is. A part-realised bill is still an open bill.
The entry is open and inside its period. If it is still unrealised at the due date, it does not lapse: it stays open against your IEC at your AD bank and shows as an outstanding shipping bill in EDPMS until it is realised, extended on stated reasons, or written off.
An extension is asked for before the period ends, not after it, and it is your AD bank that allows it on the reasons you give. Purser prepares that file and stages it. It never submits to a government portal, and it never sends a message to a bank or a buyer without a recorded human approval event.
Enter your total export proceeds realised last calendar year and this shows the self write-off ceiling, at 5 percent of that figure, or 10 percent for a Status Holder Exporter, and the 10 percent your AD bank can write off. A percentage of a base you have not given is a misleading zero, so nothing is shown until you give it.
Nine months from the date of export is the period in force today. Fifteen months from the date of shipment, and eighteen where the export is invoiced or settled in Indian Rupees, come into force on 01-10-2026. Both instruments are named below and both link to rbi.org.in.
The gap this tool will not paper over. The 2026 Regulations supersede the 2015 Regulations from 01-10-2026 except in respect of things done or omitted to be done before that date, and they do not say which period governs a shipment made earlier whose clock is still running on the day they commence. That silence is real, so the tool leaves the period in your hands and shows you the instrument behind each one. Confirm with your AD bank before you act on either date.
How this works. Plain arithmetic on the numbers you type, computed in your browser, with nothing sent anywhere and nothing stored. A month is added the way a deadline actually runs, so a bill shipped on the 31st falls due on the last day of a shorter month rather than rolling into the next one. Figures are indicative and the instruments can be amended: verify against the Master Direction in force on your consignment's own dates before acting. Purser does this from the other end, computing every clock from the shipment record itself with the instrument carried on the row. It never submits to a government portal, and it never sends a message without a recorded human approval event.
One clock is arithmetic. Four hundred is a system.
This page runs one shipping bill from numbers you type. Purser runs every open bill against your IEC, from the record, with the instrument behind every date.
