We are the advising bank. The LC is sight negotiation. The issuing bank in 742 c stated Draft drawn at issuing bank. No draft was enclosed. The issuing bank considered this as discrepancy, is it correct?

H Pal,
presentation of draft is not mandatory, as it is not requested in field 46 MT700.
IMHO it represents a receipt of the money only,having not a specific meaning.
Please ask the issuing to quote the UCP 600 article on which the discrepancy is based.
Other comments appreciated
Ciao
PS Suggestion is to provide a correct draft, but only to avoid correspondance between banks.
