# Foreign Inward Remittance Advice (FIRA)

## FIRA for India Payouts

When processing payouts to India, Tazapay generates a **Foreign Inward Remittance Advice (FIRA)** in compliance with **Reserve Bank of India (RBI)** regulations.

### Role of Purpose Codes

The **Purpose Code** selected during payout initiation determines:

* How the transaction is classified under RBI guidelines
* The **type of FIRA** generated
* Whether the payout is successfully processed or rejected

> **Important**
>
> * FIRCs and FIRAs are generated **strictly based on the Purpose Code selected at the time of processing**
> * They **cannot be edited, revised, or reissued**
> * Incorrect selection may result in **RFIs, delays, or rejection** by banking partners

## Purpose Codes in Tazapay

* Tazapay provides predefined **Tazapay Purpose Codes (`PYRxxx`)**
* Each code is mapped to a valid **RBI Purpose Code**
* Mappings include restrictions based on:
  * **Remitter type**
  * **Beneficiary type** (individual or corporate)
