Finally, I would like to get advice from expert/adviser that how to dispose the matter.
What is required both from buyer and seller end.
What is required from both issuing bank and negotiating bank.

Your valuable advice will be highly appreciated.

It is clearly a valid discrepancy, so the beneficiary can either rectify the document asking for negotiating bank to dispatch rectified document to issuing bank or asking applicant for LC amendment for resolving the discrepancy.

presentation is not complying. seller can negotiate with buyer and via him to issuing bank. accordingly with reference to artice 18b of ucp600 m issuing bank can accept commercial invoice issued for an amount in excess of the amount permitted by the credit. but they will pay beneficiary 485000 and not 500000 usd.
