11 Case Study:

American financial magazine "Global Finance" has chosen Bank Vienna, Austria as Austria's best bank, based on the results of its "The World's Best Banks in developed Markets" annual survey. Bank Vienna's CEO Fredic Tully says, "The award from 'Global Finance' acknowledges our employees' commitment and professionalism and reflects the fact that we are not only Austria's biggest bank, but also its best."

A letter of credit was opened by Mr. Roberts- Chief Manager-Bank Vienna, Austria to Mr. Aloknath an Indian exporter for US$ 10 million for 500 tons, which were to be shipped from India, each month from October 2007 to February 2008 and the export invoice for US$ 2 million were to be drawn for each month's shipment. This was the principle condition of Letter of Credit which was issued by Bank Vienna, Austria. The export invoices for first two months were duly retired. There was no shipment made by Mr. Aloknath, an Indian exporter and no export invoice was raised during the month of December, 2007. In the month of January, 2008, an export invoice for US$ 4 million was received by the opening bank- Bank Vienna, Austria, covering 200 tons of goods from Mr. Aloknath. Mr. Roberts-Chief Manager, Bank Vienna-Austria observed following discrepancies:

• Containers numbers mentioned in export invoice were not matching with containers numbers as mentioned in Bill of Lading (BL)
• Price of goods was indicated in packing list

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

• Bill of Lading dates were prior to date of certificate of origin of goods.
• There was no shipment and export invoice in the month of December, 2007.

Letter of Credit opened by Mr. Roberts, Chief Manager, Bank Vienna, Austria is a case of LC with specific condition. In case there is no shipment during any particular month, the LC automatically expires as per provisions of UCP600. Somehow this important point was overlooked by the Indian exporter, Mr. Aloknath.

Thus Bank Vienna, Austria was unable to honour export documents due to the above mentioned discrepancies in accordance with article 16 of Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (UCP 600).

However, Mr. Roberts -Chief Manager, Bank Vienna, Austria, advised the Mr. Aloknath the Indian exporter through SBI, the Indian negotiating bank to approach the foreign customer for export document acceptance and held the export documents at exporter's risk and disposal. Further he coordinated export document acceptance activities with principal foreign client. Accordingly Mr. Aloknath approached his principal foreign client who arranged the acceptance of export documents in due course of time.
