📢 RBI ease for ecommerce and small value exporters October 1, 2025 EDPMS/IDPMS Relaxations for Small & E-commerce Exporters/Importers – Now Permanent 1/n

Seasaw is finally out in public. Few days in Mumbai and all these customer conversations have just filled me up with so much love and fire for what they are doing and how we can be a part of their compliance journey.

What colour comes to your mind when you imagine documents, folders?

So lucky to have these cohort of early customers killing us each day.

@chrislevan24 shoulder

pitch me your company in 1 word.

Brands need to stop this sorry shit. WTF

@Jacobsklug @lovable prompts.

After 200+ apps shipped with Lovable — we collected every prompt that cut build time by 75%. These are the same prompts we used to help founders: - Ship MVPs in 2 weeks using @lovable - Land their first paying users within 30 days - Automate full product flows without writing a single line of code - Design products that look and feel world-class from day one I’ve consolidated the 8 best into one actionable doc. Follow + comment “Prompts” and I’ll send it over DM.

@henrythe9ths Fundraise

I got rejected by 144 investors before raising $150M for my $200M+ rev/year startup. After 144 rejections, I started questioning our approach. Were we solving the right problem? What were we doing wrong? Why weren’t investors seeing what we were seeing? Were we the right team to build this? We tried everything: different pitch angles, new deck structures, and reframing the problem. Then came the 145th meeting, where we closed our first growth round. That yes made everything worth it. But getting there took years of mistakes and hard work. We went through a lot of trial and error just to figure out what resonates with investors. We tried dozens of approaches to figure out what made investors engage. Some landed, most didn't. But each iteration taught us something about what builds conviction versus what just sounds good on paper. And once we cracked that code, our Series C closed faster than expected. And today, I see so many founders in the exact same position I was in 10 years ago: grinding through rejections, questioning everything, and trying to figure out what works. So today I want to give you the resource I wish I had back then: Something that shows you exactly how to structure these conversations and navigate the entire process (because the fundraising cycle can be a big distraction and take a toll on you as a founder). So I've partnered with Notion's Startups Team to create the essential fundraising resource that helps you avoid the mistakes that cost me years. Here's what you are getting: • The actual decks I used to raise $150M for Super[.]com (Series B, C) • 50 real examples from funded startups like Eleven Labs and Artisan AI • A searchable database of 10,000+ investors - angels, VCs, and accelerators you can reach out to immediately (this alone would take months to build manually) • An AI-powered fundraising agent built into Notion with step-by-step prompts (no separate ChatGPT needed) Want access? • Like and share this post • Comment "FUNDRAISE" • Follow me so I can DM you the link I'll send it over ASAP. P.S.: If you are serious about fundraising (now or in the future), you should grab it right away.

@ACTFibernet @ACTBangalore Wire in Sadanandnagar cut off, and your team is responding to get it solved tomorrow evening, wtf.

Sabar Bonda should be watched.

@rajbhatt082 Let's connect, we are building for this.

@wintrackinc I am an exporter. And let me say this, even exporting is complex. Thanks to RBI which wants every single cent received to be reconciled. We have a larger team working on RBI compliances than actually manufacturing the leather wallets that we export.

From October 1, 2025, our company will cease import/export activities in India. For the past 45 days, Chennai Customs officials have relentlessly harassed us. After exposing their bribery practices twice this year, they retaliated, effectively crippling our operations and destroying our business in India. We deeply thank everyone who has supported us during these difficult times. #wintrackinc #imports #exports #chennaicustoms #chennaicustom #airportcustoms #seaportcustoms

@ChennaiSummers Lets connect? We have sorted this for a lot of our export customers.

@aaryawn The only thing next is to get the banks to follow it. Banks still demand FIRCs even though they were made obsolete in 2016.

@MuraliSrinivasa @sarthaklohia @PrawinGaneshan @YESBANK @RBI It was part of the Trade regulatory overdue charges I assume. Unfortunately, they were allowed to deduct as per the terms and conditions of the trade accounts, but no more. We helped a lot of exporters reverse these charges and also clear the pending bills.

@sarthaklohia @PrawinGaneshan @YESBANK 💯, they deduct 50,000 inr plus GST every quarter without any bill or intimation, coz of incompetent staff they have. For the first time our team thought someone is stealing money from our account, lol. @RBI allows this to banks ? Not even sure. @YESBANK is the worst.

Stay strong @PrawinGaneshan. EPR is a harassment tool. Makes no sense, Even if one has Pollution board certificate, they ask for EPR. EDPMS/IDPMS is another harassment tool by banks. They have 100 reasons to not knock off BOEs and further they block all outward remittance. @YESBANK Is expert in this. We are closing and moving away from yesbank for same reasons. We do all transactions online, but they look us like criminals. Banks and customs needs a major reform for making import/export easy. No Raw materials, No manufacturing. We can fix this and we have to fix this.

@vai230290 @MuraliSrinivasa @PrawinGaneshan A new regulation is in place now, these problems would get solved x.com/aaryawn/status…

@MuraliSrinivasa @PrawinGaneshan True that! They even charge you for not closing the BOE or EDPMS and threaten you with blocking your remittances along with that. This is one of the most stupid things and a tedious process which should have been automised long back.

🎯Note: EDPMS/IDPMS entries still need to be closed – compliance remains mandatory. ‼️No more CA Certificates for INR receipts or invoice reductions ‼️Shipment docs missing can be cleared now unlike before. ‼️ No More Trade regulatory overdue charges by Banks. DM for Qts 4/n

✅ Non-payment, invoice reductions upto 100% allowed by self declaration unlike prior complex process. ✅ Possible reduced regularisation charges by Banks. 3/n
