Concentration Risk [Line Items]
Concentration Risk Disclosure [Text Block]	Concentrations of Credit Risk The Company is potentially subject to concentrations of credit risk in its accounts receivable. Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company can be directly affected by the financial condition of its customers, the loss or substantial reduction in business activity with its customers, or the inability of customers to pay its invoices. While customer activity and financial condition could have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements, management does not believe significant credit risk exists at June 30, 2020. The Company had one customer, BSNL, that had an accounts receivable balance of $12.8 million, represented more than 10% of the Company’s total accounts receivable at June 30, 2020. BSNL is a direct customer of the Ebix Vayam Limited JV (see Note 8 "Investments in Joint Ventures").

The entire disclosure for any concentrations existing at the date of the financial statements that make an entity vulnerable to a reasonably possible, near-term, severe impact. This disclosure informs financial statement users about the general nature of the risk associated with the concentration, and may indicate the percentage of concentration risk as of the balance sheet date.
