Do I need to handle currency conversion?

No, you do not. With Cashfree Payments, you will receive your payments in INR in your settlement account with minimal additional charges or effort for currency conversion.

What is an FIRC? Why is it needed?

An FIRC is a Foreign Inward Remittance Certificate. Payments from international customers are called a "Foreign Inward Remittance", i.e. a payment flowing into India from abroad. This is usually accompanied by exporting goods and services from India to a foreign country and comes with some tax incentives and reliefs.

Foreign Inward Remittance Certificates (FIRC) are documentary proof for any foreign transfer to India, in case of export of goods. For the export of services, there will be no tax levied if there is an FIRC available with the business. FIRC is also important to avail export-related schemes such as EPCG (Export Promotion Capital Goods) and others.

How does settlement happen for international payments?

Settlement happens in INR within T+2 days (two days after the transaction). You receive your payments in INR in your settlement account without needing to handle complex international remittances or currency conversion processes.

Does Cashfree Payments issue Foreign Inward Remittance Statements (FIRS)?

Yes, Cashfree Payments provides FIRS reports on-demand. You can download them anytime directly from your dashboard for compliance and documentation purposes.
