Letter of Credit /LC opening



   
The procedure for opening L/Cs under Aid/Loan/Grant/Credit etc. is almost same as opening of L/C under cash source. Only the reimbursement procedures of some L/Cs are different and some additional clauses are incorporated in the L/Cs as per provision of agreement/E.Ex. circular.

We describe below some of the reimbursement procedures of L/Cs opened under Aid/Loan/Grant/Credit etc.

Reimbursement Procedure:
This is same as the reimbursement procedure of L/C opened under cash. On negotiation of documents, strictly as per terms of L/C, negotiating bank reimburses by debiting nostro account of the designated bank. Some additional documents along with the shipping documents are to be forward to the designated bank as per terms of the L/C (Some times additional documents are forwarded to Bangladesh Bank/donor agency). Designated bank sends these documents to Bangladesh Bank for getting reimbursement from the donor agency/country.

Commitment Procedure:
In commitment procedure, fund of designated bank is not involved in the transaction. Supplier of goods/services gets payment directly from donor agency/country under the L/C against their commitment to reimburse. Initially L/Cs are opened in inoperative manner, which become operative on receipt of Commitment to Reimburse from the donor agency/country. After opening L/C, designated bank / Bangladesh Bank along with required document requests donor agency/country to issue commitment to reimburse against the L/C. On negotiation of documents complying L/C terms, supplier gets payment directly from the donor agency/country  through negotiation bank against their commitment to Reimburse by submitting specified documents. This commitment is termed differently in different Aid/Loan/Grant/Credit etc. Under IDA Credit it is known as QAR (Qualified Agreement to Reimburse), in Kuwait Investment it is known as QC (Qualified commitment) and son on.
In commitment procedure, two types of L/Cs are opened. One is under project assistance and the other is under non-project commodity assistance. In project assistance, the utilizing agency need not require to make payment against L/Cs opened under Aid/Loan/Grant/Credit at import stage. That is, in project assistance, shipping documents are delivered to the importing agency without any payment (Free of payment).
For non-project commodity assistance, designated bank is required to deposit counterpart founds to specified Government Account maintained with Bangladesh Bank within 03 (three) working days from the date of receipt of shipping documents (clean document). Penalty at prescribed rate is to be imposed to the designated bank for delay depositing counter part fund to Bangladesh Bank. B.C selling rate is applied for depositing counter-part fund of Bangladesh Bank.  
Allowcation/Utilisation:
 Designated bank maintains allocation register to record the L/C opening/Utilisation of fund against the particular Aid/Loan/Grant/Credit etc. In allocation register, the register, the name of the utilization agency, latest L/C opening and expiry dates, loan validity date, total found allocation, particulars of L/Cs opened/amount utilised, balance fund available etc recorded.
Statements:
Regular statements regarding L/C opening/Fund utilisation are required to be submitted to Head Office of designated bank and also to Bangladesh Bank/donor agency as per provision of F.E Circular.
The above procedures for import under Aid/Loan/Grant/Credit etc. are not permanent procedures. Bangladesh Bank may introduce new procedures for import L/C opening against Aid/Loan/Grant/Credit etc. through F.E circulars as per agreement between Government and donor agency/country.
