According to a BB circular issued today, Authorized Dealers (ADs) are now permitted to process export documents through bank-to-bank electronic means. This agreement must specify the format for electronic records and the designated place of presentation. If a collecting bank requires physical documents despite electronic presentation, ADs may provide authenticated electronic copies marked ‘Electronically Received-Authenticated Copy’. For transport documents issued via recognized platforms, ADs may use digital signatures or platform-based tools with audit trails.
