In early October 2026 I posted a series of X notes covering new RBI export compliance, market performance snapshots for September 2026, FPI activity, and a fund‑navigation query. I highlighted that freelancers and IT service firms must file an Export Declaration Form (EDF) starting 1 Oct 2026, and I advised against a premature shift to debt in the Capital Mind Flexi Cap fund despite recent market declines.
The new RBI rule for anyone invoicing clients outside India is effective 1 October 2026.
Service and software exporters (freelancers, IT firms, consultants, tutors) now need to file an Export Declaration Form (EDF).
The Nifty 500 fell ‑5.8 % in September 2026.
Mid‑caps fell ‑7.1 % and small‑caps fell ‑3.1 % in September 2026.
Two‑year post‑negative‑return outcomes range from ‑7 % to +66 % annualized, with a median of 31 %.
FPI equity sales in September 2026 totalled 35,000 crore INR and debt sales 22,000 crore INR.
The biggest selling year in FPI history for equities is 2.6 lakh crore INR.
I advised a user planning to move to debt in the Capital Mind Flexi Cap fund that the market decline was not severe enough to warrant a shift, and I promoted an upcoming webinar for deeper discussion.
