CREDIT?

CHAPTER TWO

WHAT IS LETTER OF CREDIT?

A letter of credit is a promise by a bank on behalf of the


buyer (customer/importer) to pay the seller
(beneficiary/exporter) a specified sum in the agreed
currency, provided that the seller submits the required
documents by a predetermined deadline.
A key principle underlying letter of credit (L/C) is that
banks deal only in documents and not in goods.

ADVANTAGES
TO IMPORTER

K G KHULLAR
CHAPTER THREE

ADVANTAGES TO IMPORTER

ADVANTAGES TO IMPORTER
Importer is assured that the exporter will be paid only if
all terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit have been
met.
Importer is able to negotiate more favourable trade terms
with the exporter when payment by Letter of  Credit is
offered.
If the exporter is willing to grant extended terms to

r
importer, importer may arrange for a Letter of Credit
la
which is payable at a future date (i.e., 60 or 90 days after
presentation of complying documents).
ul
Through the use of Banker’s Acceptances, importer may
finance the goods until they are marketed
Kh

By  the  documents called   for,  the importer can seek to


minimize the risks in not receiving the goods ordered.
G

DISADVANTAGES TO IMPORTER
K

A Letter of Credit does not offer protection to the


importer against the exporter shipping inferior quality
goods and/or a lesser quantity of goods.
It is necessary for the importer to have a line of credit
with a bank before the bank is able to issue a Letter of
Credit. The amount outstanding under each Letter of
Credit issued is applied against this line of credit from the
date of issuance until final payment.

ADVANTAGES
TO EXPORTER

K G KHULLAR
CHAPTER FOUR

ADVANTAGES TO EXPORTER
ADVANTAGES TO EXPORTER
The risk of payment relies upon the creditworthiness of
the Issuing Bank and the political risk of the
Issuing Bank’s domicile, and not the creditworthiness of
the importer.
Exporter agrees in advance to all requirements for
payment under the Letter of Credit. If the Letter of Credit
is not issued as agreed, the exporter is not obligated to
ship against it.

r
Exporter can further reduce foreign political and bank
credit risk by requesting confirmation of the Letter
la
of Credit by a bank.
ul
The exporter may be able to obtain financing for the
purchase or manufacture of goods that will be shipped
Kh

under the Letter of Credit.


Under Banker’s Acceptance financing, the exporter may
receive funds shortly after shipment, despite having
granted credit terms to importer, or exporter may receive
G

funds prior to export. The decision is typically based on


the exporter’s cash flow position.
K

DISADVANTAGES TO EXPORTER
Documents must be prepared and presented in strict
compliance with the requirements stipulated in the
Letter of Credit.
Some importers may  not  be  able  to open Letters of
Credit due to the lack of credit facilities with their bank
which consequently inhibits export growth.
Exporter is exposed to the commercial risk that the bank
providing its undertaking is willing and able to perform.
Exporter is exposed to the commercial risk that the bank
providing its undertaking is willing and able to perform.

CHAPTER SEVEN

TYPES OF LETTER OF CREDIT


ACCEPTANCE CREDIT :
Ordinary Letters of Credits are usually sight credits, i.e.
immediate payment should be made of the bills drawn by the
beneficiary. Such letters of credit under which usance bills
can be drawn is an Acceptance Credit or Time Credit.e is the
person who applies to bank for Letter of Credit
REVOCABLE CREDIT :
A revocable LC is a credit that can be amended / cancelled by
the issuing bank without prior notice to the beneficiary.
However, if any negotiating bank has acted on the credit

r
prior to receipt of the notice of amendment/cancellation then
la

ul
IRREVOCABLE CREDIT :
is a credit that can neither be amended nor cancelled without
Kh

the consent of the beneficiary

CONFIRMED CREDIT :
G

WITH RECOURSE AND WITHOUT RECOURSE


CREDITS :
when beneficiary draws a bill under a LC he is liable if the
K

drawee fails to make payment. These kind of bills are called


recourse LCs. The beneficiary can exclude liability by adding
to the bill following words “without recourse”
TRANSFERABLE CREDITS :
As such the rights under an LC cannot be transferred and is
vested in the beneficiary. A transferable credit is one under
which the beneficiary can transfer his rights to third parties.
Unless specifically stated an LC is not transferable.

If a bank advising the credit to beneficiary adds its own


confirmation to the credit, then the credit would be called a
confirmed credit. Only irrevocable credit can be confirmed
19 K G KHULLAR
CHAPTER SEVEN

BACK-TO-BACK CREDITS :
The beneficiary in whose favor an LC is issued uses the same
to obtain another credit from his(beneficiary’s ) bank in favor

LC. (Issuing Bank, Advising Bank, Third bank which issued an
ancillary credit against the security of the original credit

ANTICIPATORY LETTER OF CREDIT

receive payment only on his handing over the documents
and bills drawn under the LC to the negotiating bank.

r
However, in certain credits the beneficiary will be entitled to
la
get and advance of the price. These credits contains a “Red
Clause” which authorizes an intermediary bank to make an
ul
advance to the beneficiary before shipment.
- GREEN CLAUSE LETTER OF CREDITS –
Kh

This is refinement of the “Red Clause”. This type of LC not


only permits preshipment advance but also permits advances
to the exporter to cover storage at the port of shipment. The
G

Red Clause and Green Clause credit are called Anticipatory


Credits.
K

REVOLVING LETTER OF CREDIT :
In this type of credit though amount is fixed, it can be
renewed as soon as the earlier bills have been paid.

or other contract on which it may be based. Banks are in no
way concerned with or bound by such contract, even if any
reference whatsoever to it is included in the credit.
Consequently, the undertaking of a bank to honour, to
negotiate or to fulfil any other obligation under the credit is
not subject to claims or defences by the applicant resulting
from its relationships with the issuing bank or the
beneficiary.

r
A beneficiary can in no case avail itself of the contractual
la
relationships existing between banks or between the applicant
and the issuing bank.
ul
b. An issuing bank should discourage any attempt by the
applicant to include, as an integral part of the credit, copies of
Kh

the underlying contract, proforma invoice and the like.

la
neither be amended nor cancelled without the agreement of
the issuing bank, the confirming bank, if any, and the
ul
beneficiary.

irrevocably bound as of the time it advises the amendment.
G

c. The terms and conditions of the original credit (or a credit


incorporating previously accepted amendments) will remain
K

in force for the beneficiary until the beneficiary


communicates its acceptance of the amendment to the bank
that advised such amendment.
d. A bank that advises an amendment should inform the bank
from which it received the amendment of any notification of
acceptance or rejection.
e. Partial acceptance of an amendment is not allowed and will
