Submission of Revised A-2 Form

Attention of Authorised Dealers (ADs) is invited to A.P. (DIR Series) Circular No.77 dated March 13, 2004, in terms of which guidelines for compilation of various R-Returns were issued to the Authorised Dealers. The purpose codes for foreign exchange purchase/ sale transactions, used for filling up of the cover page of R-Return have since been revised, vide A.P.(DIR Series) Circular No. 84 dated February 29, 2012.; It has therefore become necessary to revise the list of purpose codes appended to Form A-2 also. The revised list of purpose codes along with Form A-2 are thus annexed for use by the applicants for remittance of funds abroad.
2. The directions contained in this circular have been issued under Section 10(4) and Section 11(1) of the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 (42 of 1999).
