The EDF is the export declaration under RBI's FEMA export regulations, notified on 13 January 2026 and effective from 1 October 2026. It replaced the Softex form.
Key points
- One EDF format covers goods, services and software.
- Service exports can be declared in one consolidated EDF per month, due within 30 days after the month ends.
- Declarations can be certified by the AD bank or STPI; SEZ units use the Development Commissioner.
