How to file an EDF for Upwork earnings
Upwork pays freelancers in India for work done for overseas clients. Declare the invoice you raised for that work. Upwork’s fee does not choose the service code.
English
Fiverr collects from the buyer and pays you. The buyer is the service recipient. The service code follows the gig, not the fact that Fiverr sent the money.
A completed order paid to a seller in India is a service export when the buyer is outside India. From 1 October 2026 it goes on an Export Declaration Form. Fiverr is the third-party payer. The overseas buyer is the recipient.
Use the amount you were paid for that order, in the currency Fiverr used. Clearing withdrawals and available balance are not a substitute for the order if the bank wants one line per invoice.
Match the gig. Software is SAC 998314. Design is 998391. Advertising is 998361. Consulting is 998311 or 998312. Video is 999612. A gig that is other online content can use 998439. Do not use one code for every Fiverr order.
Purpose code is for the bank’s report. P0807, P1007, P1006, and P1101 are the codes this site already pairs with those services. Confirm the one that describes the gig.
File within 30 days after the invoice month. Software does not use the payment-date option. Other services may. Several orders in one month can share one form, one line per recipient.
Bring the money into India within nine months of the invoice date, or twelve months if the invoice or settlement is in rupees. Sign the declaration and leave the bank’s block blank.

Freelancer.com releases a milestone from outside India. Declare that paid milestone against your invoice, with the service code for the project.
Goods use Part 2A. Services use Part 2B. Each overseas recipient you invoiced that month gets a line, and the header of the form still identifies you and your bank.
