SBI sending sms for advance intimation of inward Remittance. What to do?

Did you get this sms?

"Dear SBI Customer, This is an advance intimation of an inward Remittance of USDxxx.xxx value Date 20210922. Please contact branch with Relevant Documents."

This doesn't mean you have to visit branch even if you have submitted the FEMA documents. This is only advance notification and nothing else. SBI is using generic sms format to all customers.

I submitted my FEMA documents years ago when i was receiving money through other bank. This means if you have submitted documents before you need not worry. Just ignore this message.

If you have not submitted FEMA documents then you must visit branch. They will provide a page where you have to mention the reason of the inward remittance. For Adsense, Admob earned through PlayStore apps, website ads, YouTube ads etc you must mention software services in the document. This document must be submitted for every new source of income. Like earning money from another source requires another declaration. Its a one time process & takes few minutes. You can also keep the scan or take pictures of signed documents for personal future use. It will remind you of whatever you mentioned in the documents.

Enhanced version of BeepFX 1.12 with export WAV and raw formats.

 The original version BeepFX 1.11 which is

"Beeper sound effects cross editor for ZX Spectrum 48K. Generates sound effects using small set of parameters, also has sample support. Source code included."

available at http://shiru.untergrund.net/software.shtml.

 

Original version is limited to ZX Spectrum users only however audio effects produced using just 1bit sound can be used in modern games also. The problem is it doesn't saves audio in wav etc format. For the same i edited the source and added Export RAW & WAV formats in batch. Editing source was not easy because i couldn't install Borland Studio 2006 on both Windows and Linux. So had to install VirtualBox with windowsXP and worked inside it. The source along with the BeepFX 1.12 binary is available below link -

There is also online version of similar software capable of producing nice audio effects.
