What changed
RBI has made the EDPMS live from February 28, 2014, with AD bank access from March 1, 2014. The web link and user credentials have been provided. New shipping documents must be filed on EDPMS, while old ones stay on the existing system until the legacy platform is phased out.
What it means for you
AD banks now have a unified IT system for reporting and monitoring export of goods and software, replacing multiple returns. This streamlines compliance and reduces manual effort. Banks must ensure their teams are trained on EDPMS and that both old and new systems run in parallel without disruption.
What you must do
- Access EDPMS at https://edpms.rbi.org.in/edpms using credentials already shared.
- Report all new shipping documents on EDPMS from March 1, 2014.
- Continue reporting old shipping documents on the legacy system until discontinuation is advised.
- Inform your export customers about the new system and its requirements.
- Monitor RBI circulars for the timeline to retire the old system.
Who it affects
All Category-I Authorised Dealer Banks, Exporters and their constituents, Bank branches handling export documentation
When does EDPMS become mandatory for new shipping documents?
From March 1, 2014, all new shipping documents must be reported on EDPMS. Old documents continue on the legacy system until further notice.
What is the web link and how do I get credentials?
The web link is https://edpms.rbi.org.in/edpms. User credentials have already been shared with AD banks; contact your RBI regional office if not received.
Will the old system be discontinued immediately?
No. Both systems will run in parallel for some time. RBI will issue a separate circular when the old system is to be discontinued.
