The AD Code is a unique 14-digit identification number assigned to entities by their bank. It facilitates smooth transactions and compliance with foreign exchange regulations. Obtaining an AD Code is a crucial step for businesses looking to engage in international trade and financial transactions, ensuring they adhere to regulatory requirements set by the RBI.
