Getting paid: export realisation, FIRA and e-BRC explained
Shipping the goods is half the job. Here is how realisation works, which proofs you need, and why bank charges deserve a line of their own.
Solution Realisation tracking
Know what actually landed, not just what was invoiced
Record each payment against its invoice: when the client paid, when you received it, and the INR your bank credited. Invoice Hub shows the gap.
- Set up for you
- Roles, 2FA & activity log

The problems we hear most
“Paid” hides the leak
Intermediary fees and conversion spreads are invisible until someone does the arithmetic.
Two dates, one field
When the client paid and when you received it are different days, with different consequences.
Outstanding at year end
Unrealised exports need follow-up long before the RBI deadline.
How Invoice Hub helps
Built for exactly this
Record the receipt
Received on, INR credited, client-paid date and amount sent, bank account and reference.
See the journey
Invoiced → client sent → you received, with the deduction in rupees and per cent.
Effective rate
The rate you actually achieved, fees included. Usually the surprising number.
Days to realise
How long each invoice took from issue to cash in the bank.
Kept off the client copy
Fees and realisation stay on the CA copy and the register.
Feeds the CA register
Your accountant sees realisation detail without asking.
FAQ
Questions, answered
Does it connect to my bank?
No. You record receipts from your bank credit advice or FIRA, which keeps you in control.
Is the invoice changed when a payment is recorded?
Its status becomes Paid. The figures on the invoice are not changed.
Can I record partial payments?
One payment is recorded per invoice, with the amount actually received.
Who can record payments?
Anyone whose role includes Payments → Record / Remove.
