As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) had guidelines in place for Foreign Inward Remittance Certificate (FIRC). Please note that regulations and guidelines may be subject to change, and it's advisable to check the latest information directly from the official RBI website or consult with financial experts for the most up-to-date guidance.

Provide necessary details about the foreign inward remittance to the bank through which the funds were received.
Application Form:
Complete the application form for FIRC, which is usually available at the bank.

Submit relevant documents supporting the inward remittance, such as the foreign sender's details, purpose of remittance, and any other required documentation.
​Verification:
The bank verifies the details provided and the authenticity of the transaction.
​Issuance of FIRC:
Upon successful verification, the bank issues the Foreign Inward Remittance Certificate.
​Usage:
The FIRC can be used for various purposes, including providing evidence of the receipt of funds from abroad.
Please be aware that the specific requirements and procedures may vary, and it's essential to check with the bank where the remittance was received for the most accurate and current information.
Always refer to the latest RBI guidelines or consult with financial professionals to ensure compliance with the current regulations. Additionally, local banks and financial institutions may have their own specific procedures for issuing the FIRC.
