If you raised export-of-services invoices in June 2027, your EDF for those invoices is due by 30 July 2027 — 30 days from the end of June. One EDF can cover every June invoice to every foreign client, and each of those invoices must then be fully paid within 9 months from its own invoice date.
Key takeaways
- June 2027 invoices → EDF due 30 July 2027 under Regulation 3(2) of the 2026 Export and Import Regulations.
- For services other than software, you may instead file on or before the date payment is received, if that comes first.
- Realisation deadlines for June 2027 invoices fall in March 2028 (9 months), or June 2028 for rupee invoices (12 months).
- June closes the first quarter of FY 2027-28 — a natural point for a quarterly ₹10 lakh realisation declaration.
The June 2027 deadline at a glance
| Item | Date or rule |
|---|---|
| Invoice month | 1–30 June 2027 |
| Standard EDF deadline | 30 July 2027 |
| Alternative (services other than software) | On or before the date payment is received |
| Bank's EDPMS entry | Within 5 working days of receiving your EDF |
| Realisation, foreign currency invoices | 9 months from each invoice date |
| Realisation, rupee invoices | 12 months from each invoice date |
| Next month's deadline (July 2027 invoices) | 30 August 2027 |
June has 30 days, so the arithmetic is simple: the 30-day window starts on 1 July and ends on 30 July. Our EDF due date calculator confirms any invoice date, and the full year is on the EDF due dates page.
What goes on the June EDF
Every service invoice you dated in June 2027 and raised to a foreign client. Not invoices from May that were paid in June, and not invoices you'll raise in July for June work. The invoice date decides the month.
Each invoice is one row in Part 2B: recipient name and address, country, invoice number and date, currency, amount, net realisable value, description, SAC code, contract number and date, and remarks. Part 1 holds your fixed details, and field 1.22 totals the rupee value in figures and words.
If you're a software exporter outside an SEZ, file with your AD bank or STPI. Other services go to the AD bank; SEZ units file with the Development Commissioner.
Realisation deadlines for June invoices
Each June invoice starts its own clock. The full value must be realised within 9 months from the invoice date for foreign-currency invoices, or 12 months for rupee invoices. Your AD bank can extend the period on a reasoned request.
| Invoice date | Realise by (foreign currency, 9 months) | Realise by (INR, 12 months) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 June 2027 | 1 March 2028 | 1 June 2028 |
| 15 June 2027 | 15 March 2028 | 15 June 2028 |
| 30 June 2027 | 30 March 2028 | 30 June 2028 |
Add these dates to your EDF register the day you file, not the day a client goes quiet.
The quarter-end angle
June is the last month of the April–June quarter. That matters for two reasons.
The ₹10 lakh declaration. For invoices up to ₹10 lakh, your bank may close the EDPMS entry on your declaration that the money has been realised. The declaration is separate from the EDF and can be given periodically, for example quarterly. Many exporters prepare it right after the quarter ends — covering every small invoice paid in April, May and June. Our realisation declaration tool drafts one in a few minutes.
Quarterly reviews. It's a good moment to check which invoices from earlier months are still unpaid and how close they are to their 9-month dates. Invoices from October 2026, for instance, reach their 9-month mark in July 2027.
Other compliance that month
July is busy for most businesses: GST returns for June, TDS work for the quarter, and the run-up to income-tax filing. We don't list GST or income-tax due dates here, because they can be changed by notification and differ by taxpayer type. Check the GST portal and the income-tax portal for current dates, or ask your CA.
What we can say: the EDF is a FEMA declaration and doesn't change any GST or income-tax deadline. Plan them side by side.
Worked example
Halcyon Data Labs Pvt Ltd, Chennai, raises five export invoices in June 2027:
| Invoice | Date | Client country | Amount | Approx. INR |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HDL/27-28/051 | 3 June | USA | USD 12,000 | ₹10.1 lakh |
| HDL/27-28/052 | 3 June | UK | GBP 4,500 | ₹4.9 lakh |
| HDL/27-28/053 | 17 June | Germany | EUR 6,000 | ₹5.5 lakh |
| HDL/27-28/054 | 28 June | Singapore | SGD 8,000 | ₹5.1 lakh |
| HDL/27-28/055 | 30 June | Australia | AUD 3,200 | ₹1.8 lakh |
Halcyon files one June EDF with five rows on 12 July 2027, well before 30 July. The US invoice is just over ₹10 lakh, so it will need invoice, FIRA and matching instructions when paid. The other four can go into the next quarterly declaration once realised.
Realisation dates go straight into the register: 3 March 2028 for the first two, 17 March 2028, 28 March 2028 and 30 March 2028 for the rest.
Mini checklist for July 2027
- List every foreign service invoice dated 1–30 June 2027.
- Check each has number, date, currency, amount, SAC and description.
- Convert to rupees using the rate your CA advises and total field 1.22 in figures and words.
- Fill and sign the EDF — strike out the Part 4 alternatives that don't apply.
- Submit by 30 July 2027 through your bank's published channel; record the date and any reference.
- Follow up if you don't see the EDPMS entry confirmed within about 5 working days.
- Prepare the April–June ₹10 lakh declaration for small invoices already paid.
- Note March 2028 realisation dates for each June invoice.

Frequently asked questions
What is the EDF due date for June 2027 invoices?
30 July 2027. The EDF must be filed within 30 days from the end of the month in which the invoice was raised, and June ends on the 30th. For services other than software, you may alternatively file on or before the date payment is received.
Can I include May 2027 invoices in the June EDF?
No. May 2027 invoices belong on the May EDF, which was due 30 June 2027. If you missed it, file as soon as possible — the bank may accept a delayed EDF for reasonable cause.
When must June 2027 invoices be paid?
Within 9 months from each invoice date for foreign-currency invoices, so by March 2028, or 12 months for rupee invoices. Your AD bank can extend the period on a reasoned request.
Do I need separate EDFs for each June client?
No. One EDF per month can cover all your service exports to one or more recipients, with each invoice as a row in Part 2B.
What if a June invoice is cancelled in July?
Tell your bank and keep the cancellation record, such as a credit note. Whether you leave it on the EDF with a remark or adjust before filing depends on timing — ask your bank how it prefers to handle it.
Bottom line
June 2027 invoices are due on an EDF by 30 July 2027, and June's quarter-end is the right moment for your small-invoice declaration too. Prepare the form in the free EDF form generator.
