Under the program, an importer of Jaipur handicraft goods in any of the above countries will approach a bank for opening an L/C. The L/C Issuing Bank should be on IFC’s list of pre-approved banks. Either the L/C Issuing Bank or Jaipur handicrafts may request confirmation of the L/C from Exim Bank, as per the attached Application Form. Jaipur handicrafts are welcome to discuss the transaction before sending a formal request for L/C confirmation to Exim Bank.

Exim Bank will convey availability or otherwise for confirmation of the L/C and, if agreed to confirm, the fee payable by the Jaipur handicrafts / L/C Issuing Bank. L/C will be governed by UCPDC-600.

Jaipur handicrafts will ship the goods covered under the contract and shall present the documents for negotiation to his bank. The Negotiating/ Paying Bank will ensure that the documents are as per the terms of the L/C and shall make payment under the L/C to the Indian exporter. The Negotiating/Paying Bank will forward the documents to the L/C Issuing Bank. Negotiating/Paying bank shall keep Exim Bank informed on each disbursement made to the Indian exporter under the L/C and each claim for payment made to the L/C Issuing bank and amount received by the Negotiating/Paying Bank from the L/C Issuing bank in settlement thereof, till retirement of the L/C.
