The Minister of State in the Ministry of Finance (Shri Namo Narain Meena)
(a)& (b): Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has informed that they have decided to set up
an automated and unified data processing and monitoring system for all exports from
the country. Under this system, all the data will flow first to âDedicated server of
RBIâ and thereafter pushed by RBI to the Authorised Dealer (AD) banks through a fresh
âSecured RBI websiteâ for further follow up by the AD banks with exporters. Subsequently,
the documents submission and realisation data will be reported back by the AD banks to
RBI through the same âSecured RBI websiteâ so as to update the RBI data base on real
time basis to facilitate quicker follow up / data generation / policy formulation by
RBI regarding export. This will involve âtwo wayâ traffic of data to and from a separate
server at RBI without interfering in any way with the dedicated RBI server. Data flow
would be continuous.
(c): The statistics on unmatched transactions in respect of DTR, GR, and SOFTEX forms
for the period 2010-11 as on 30.06.2011 as reported by RBI are given as under:-

## DTR stands for âDirect Transaction Receiptâ.
The data under GR denotes the data received through GR forms filed with customs.
The data under SOFTEX denotes the software exports and reported through SOFTEX form.
(d) Presently, RBI has a system of follow up with AD banks, who in turn take it up with the
exporter concerned. RBI has informed that once the proposed system is set-up, ADs should use
the export transaction data provided by RBI to regularly update the status of (i) receipt of
document and (ii) receipt of export proceeds for the transactions pertaining to them, in the
RBI system. The proposed system, it is expected on account of one time data entry with respect
to shipping bill details, will take care of such mismatches.
