An Import Documentary Collection is a settlement method where shipping documents are released to the importer against payment or acceptance, as instructed by the exporter’s bank.
What are the advantages of Import Documentary Collection?
It is generally more cost-effective than a Letter of Credit and allows importers to review documents before making payment or accepting the payment obligation.
Can I book foreign exchange rates online for import payments?
Yes. Customers can book foreign exchange rates online for import settlements, documentary collections, and letters of credit.

Export Bill Realisation allows exporters to provide disposal instructions, settle export proceeds, and regularise shipping bills digitally through a single workflow.
Can I submit Inward disposal instructions online?
Yes. The portal enables online submission of disposal instructions and export bill settlement without visiting a branch.
What export finance options are available?
The Bank offers pre-shipment finance and post-shipment finance options including export bill discounting and advances against export bills.
What is a Bank Guarantee?

Businesses participating in tenders, contracts, infrastructure projects, supply agreements, or trade transactions can apply.

Performance Guarantees, Financial Guarantees, Bid Bond Guarantees, Advance Payment Guarantees, Deferred Payment Guarantees, Shipping Guarantees, and Domestic & Foreign Guarantees.
What is an Electronic Bank Guarantee (e-BG)?
An Electronic Bank Guarantee is a digitally issued guarantee that uses electronic stamping and secure digital signatures, eliminating the need for physical paperwork.
The Bank offers spot transactions, cash and tomorrow contracts, forward contracts, currency options (subject to eligibility), and treasury advisory services.
What is a Spot Transaction in foreign exchange?
A Spot Transaction is a foreign exchange deal where settlement typically takes place within two business days (T+2).
Can I book foreign exchange deals online?
Yes. Customers can obtain quotes, execute deals online, and receive instant confirmations through the Bank's digital platform.
What is a Forward Contract?
A Forward Contract allows businesses to lock in an exchange rate today for a future transaction, helping reduce uncertainty arising from currency fluctuations.
