Revolving LC amended to Standby LC
Posted: Wed Apr 08, 2009 12:21 am
I have come across a case where one Bank had issued the Revolving LC.
Max Revolves 4 times .Revolvments after Bill Paid.At any point Liab. not exceeds USD 1mn.Max amounts 3mn.
.
Required Docs. 2 set of Drafts for full Invoice value + Invoice.
.
Later on LC amended as "Stand by LC".Max revolve 3 times.Revolments after Negotiation of Bill by Issuing Bank.(not after payment of bill)
.
Subsiquently 4 Docs. received on various dates ,within validity period for.......
1.USD 1.00 mn (Invoice USD 1.30 mn)
2.USD 1.00 mn (Invoice USD 1.30 mn)
3.USD 0.10 mn (Invoice USD 0.50 mn)
4.USD 0.90 mn (Invoice USD 1.10 mn)
.
Bank rejects first three docs. with reason "BOE not drawn as per LC terms". (Not full invoice value) and Fourth with discrepancy of "BOE not drawn as per LC terms". and "only three revolments permitted".
.
1.Is this LC to consider a DC or Standby LC?
2.As a LC issuing bank what precaution to keep in mind?
3.As a Beneficiary what could be recourse if LC is not expired?
4.If Benef. presented a single Draft is it a Discrepancy?
.
Pls. discuss on topic.
