No More Supply of Printed GR Forms - Download from Internet
WITH the advent of technology and penetration of Internet access, the need for printing and supplying of GR forms by Reserve Bank does not exist any more. It has therefore been decided to discontinue supplying/selling printed GR forms across the counter by Regional Offices of Reserve Bank. Therefore, with effect from July 1, 2012, GR forms shall be available only online at Reserve Bank's website www.rbi.org.in at the following link: "Notification-> FEMA -> Forms -> For Printing of GR Form" [if you don't understand what the RBI is saying, you can go to this link - http://rbi.org.in/scripts/gr_userdetails.aspx]
While downloading the GR forms, the exporter may ensure to use ‘Legal' size paper i.e. 8.5 * 14 inches. Further, both the printer (printing preference) and paper size in the page setup option have to be set to legal size before printing. The GR number will be automatically allotted when the document goes to the print queue.
