FRANK MANOHARAN: RBI INSTRUCTIONS TO NEGOTIATING BANK ON ACCEPTANCE DOCUMENTS - IF SHIPPING BILL AND INVOICE VALUE VARIES. In one of our export case the CHA had filled the Shipping bill per unit rate 10 dollars more than the accepted price from the customer. While invoicing the rate per unit was billed Usd 10/- lesser than the Shipping bill filled rate. While negotiation of the document the banker refused to accept the document and requesting us the amend the shipping bill value to at par with the Invoice value without knowing the procedure involved in amendment of shipping bill (Almost impossible to amend the Shipping Bill). Hope the Shipping bill value should not be declared less than the Invoice value as it effect the inflow of the Foreign currency and claims of various incentives. Where as in our case, we declared higher value and invoice lesser than the declared shipping bill. Most of the banks are accepting the if we declare the value higher in shipping bill and claim by invoice is lesser. What is the correct guidelines by rbi to the negotiating banks?.
