The timeline for receiving funds depends on the currency and transfer method. Please refer to the attached table for the standard timelines for receiving money in your virtual account and settling it into your Indian bank account.&nbsp;

&nbsp; **Please note that these are standard timelines, and the actual receipt of funds may vary due to weekends, holidays, or delays from the sender's bank.

If the timeline has passed, please verify the bank details on the transaction receipt, as incorrect details can cause the amount to be automatically returned to the sender.

If the details are correct, kindly email the transaction receipt to us at <a href="http://support@skydo.com">support@skydo.com</a>, and we will raise it with our partner bank.

To receive payments from a country in their non local currency, you can use your "Rest of the World" account. This allows you to receive non-local currency payments seamlessly into your Skydo virtual account.

For example if your client wants to send US Dollars from Europe, the transfer needs to be done to the the rest of the world - International SWIFT Account. You can access your account details from <a href="https://dashboard.skydo.com/international-accounts?location=row">here</a>.

You will receive an email and WhatsApp notification once the money is credited to your Skydo local account. Notifications will be sent at every step of the payment process, keeping you updated on the status of your payment. Please be advised that it does take some time for the amount to get credited to your local Skydo account.&nbsp;

You can use Skydo's invoicing feature to create compliant invoices. If you prefer to use your own invoice format, ensure it includes all necessary details such as:

Both FIRA (Foreign Inward Remittance Advice) and FIRC (Foreign Inward Remittance Certificate) provided by Skydo are compliant with regulatory requirements and accepted for GST filing and by banks.

No, chargebacks are not applicable for bank transfers as these are bank debit transfers authorised by the sender. In case of a dispute, Skydo shall not be held responsible, and the exporter and the buyer would need to settle the issue directly.

Skydo supports 37 purpose codes for inward remittance.

At Skydo, we strive to provide a seamless and efficient payment processing experience for our users. However, there are certain limitations and restrictions you should be aware of when receiving foreign remittances through our platform.

To ensure cost-effectiveness and efficient processing, Skydo has set a minimum transaction threshold of 50 USD. As Skydo charges fees based on slabs, processing small payments that are too close to the fee value may not be viable for users. Therefore, payments below this threshold cannot be processed through our platform.

There is no upper limit on the amount you can receive through Skydo. Our platform is designed to handle large transactions smoothly, allowing you to receive high-value payments without restrictions.
