BANKING MATTERS

At HNM Legal Services, we specialize in guiding clients through the intricate legal landscape of export and import banking, including cross-border remittances, under key regulatory frameworks like FEMA, RBI master directions, PMLA, and FEMA Export/Import Regulations. We guide exporters in ensuring timely realization and repatriation of export proceeds (generally within 9 months, with 12‑month relief for SEZ exports), submission of export declaration forms (EDF, SOFTEX), and issuance of FIRC/BRC—crucial for claiming incentives and maintaining compliance.                                                                                                              
With evolving RBI policy—such as tightening remittances to curb offshore time deposits—our team can help clients interpret changing remittance regulations under the LRS and FEMA.    

Finally, we represent clients in export/import‑related disputes—including cases for delayed import/export remittances / credits—as well as in ED/FEMA enforcement proceedings, ensuring sound legal defense in sensitive cross‑border transactions.
