Q.1 What is the meaning of documentary Letter of credit? Explain in brief the types of L/Cs?

 

Ans :  Documentary Letter of credit:

 

A letter of credit is a document issued by a financial institution, or a similar party, assuring payment to a seller of goods and/or services provided certain documents have been presented to the bank. These are documents that prove that the seller has performed the duties under an underlying contract (e.g., sale of goods contract) and the goods (or services) have been supplied as agreed.
