Automate the DGFT portal with a workflow

A workflow runs your methods as one process, with nobody at the screen. A schedule or a call from your own system starts it, the steps run in order, and the result arrives in your inbox or in the systems you already use.

• New IRMs on your IEC, every weekday

  Build this

  Starts

  Every weekday at 9:00, India time

  Step 1

  Get the IRMs from the IRM/ORM Repository for the last 30 days.

  Step 2

  Keep the IRMs that were not there on the last run.

  Step 3

  Email you the list with IRM number, bank IFSC, remittance date, currency, amount and purpose code.

• Last week's eBRCs, handed to accounting

  Build this

  Starts

  Every Monday at 8:00, India time

  Step 1

  Search the eBRC repository for eBRCs issued in the last 7 days.

  Step 2

  Stop when there are none.

  Step 3

  Post each eBRC's number, shipping bill, FOB value realised and Utilisation status to your accounting webhook.

• Applications that turned Deficient

  Build this

  Starts

  Every weekday at 17:00, India time

  Step 1

  Track the submitted applications for each scheme you name, for the last 90 days.

  Step 2

You can run a workflow by hand on every plan, Free included. Schedules and webhook triggers come with the paid plans, from $29 a month.

Once built, one call from your code

Once you have built a method, it is one POST to /v1/runs from your backend, or a tool an AI agent calls over MCP. This is what “Get IRMs from the IRM/ORM Repository” would look like.

curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "dgft.gov.in/get_irms",
    "input": {
      "from_date": "2026-10-13",
      "to_date": "2026-11-12"
    }
  }'

{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "iec": "0512345678",
    "irms": [
      {
        "irm_number": "ACMEB0251110000437",
        "irm_issue_date": "2026-11-10",
        "irm_status": "Fresh",

        "remittance_date": "2026-11-07",
        "currency": "USD",
        "amount": 18450,
        "remitter_name": "Northwind Traders",
        "remitter_country": "US",
        "purpose_code": "P0102"
      }
    ],
    "count": 1
  }
}

An example with invented data, not a ready-made endpoint. The method exists in your organization once you build it, and its name, inputs and fields follow your request.

The DGFT portal’s own options

DGFT publishes an eBRC API for IEC holders and the technical partners they authorise. It fetches IRMs, ORMs and eBRCs and generates eBRCs in bulk, from a whitelisted IP with encrypted, signed messages. IEC profile, authorisation and other applications are made on the portal itself.

Signing in to the DGFT portal

The DGFT portal signs you in with your registered email ID as the username and a password. Registration checks codes sent to your email and mobile, and filings such as cancelling an eBRC are signed with a DSC or Aadhaar e-Sign. With Fous you sign in once through the portal's own sign-in with your own account, the login is sealed with AES-256, and an expired session is signed back in.

Worth knowing

What can be clubbed in one eBRC

IRMs can be clubbed only when they share a currency and the same bank name and account number. The manual's clubbing rules exclude purpose codes P0101 and P0108.

The eBRC API answers hours later

A bulk eBRC request is validated first and processed later. The specification asks for a gap of 2 hours between the push and the status call, and its introduction says 4 hours.

API credentials expire after a year

The credential file downloads once and is valid for 1 year. Calls are accepted only from the public IP you registered, and a new IP added in production works after 24 hours.

Only your own unused eBRCs can be cancelled

An eBRC uploaded by a bank cannot be cancelled. A self-certified one can, if it has not been utilised, with a 250-character remark and a DSC or Aadhaar e-Sign.
