Generating an eBRC on the DGFT portal is repetitive, fiddly work: you re-key the Shipping Bill number, port, invoice, AD code, FOB value, freight, insurance and the exchange rate into the self-certification form, one field at a time — and a single mistyped figure means a wrong eBRC. This automatic eBRC generator removes the typing entirely.
What it does
Point it at a Shipping Bill PDF and it does the whole data-entry job for you: it reads the PDF, extracts every field the eBRC needs, logs in to DGFT, opens the eBRC self-certification form, runs the ICEGATE search, and fills each field from the Shipping Bill. You solve the login CAPTCHA and complete the DSC signing — it does everything in between, and records the generated eBRC number to an Excel register.

eBRC generator — FAQ
Can eBRC be generated automatically from a Shipping Bill?
Yes. The tool reads the Shipping Bill PDF, extracts every field the eBRC needs — SB number and date, port, invoice, AD code, FOB value, freight, insurance, commission and exchange rate — and fills the DGFT eBRC self-certification form, so you review and submit instead of typing each value.
How do I generate an eBRC without typing everything?
Place your Shipping Bill PDF in a folder and run the tool. It logs in to DGFT, opens the eBRC self-certification form, runs the ICEGATE search, and auto-fills the fields from the PDF. You solve the login CAPTCHA, sign with your DSC, and generate the eBRC.
Is it safe with my DGFT login and DSC?
Yes. The one-click app runs on your own computer with your own DGFT credentials and your own Digital Signature Certificate. Nothing is filed without you completing the CAPTCHA and the DSC signing step yourself.
Does it actually reduce errors?
Yes. Because every value is read from the Shipping Bill and typed by the software, there are no manual keying mistakes. It also converts foreign currency to and from INR using the Shipping Bill exchange rate and skips any field ICEGATE has already populated.
How much does it cost?
It's available as a one-time app you run yourself, or as a done-for-you service where you send the Shipping Bills and receive the generated eBRCs. Pricing is shared on enquiry — just get in touch.
What is an eBRC?
An electronic Bank Realisation Certificate (eBRC) is the DGFT record confirming that an exporter has received payment for an export. Under the self-certification regime, exporters generate eBRCs themselves on the DGFT portal from their Shipping Bill and realisation details.
