An unconfirmed LC is a payment undertaking by the issuing bank (EU buyer' bank) only. A confirmed LC adds a payment undertaking from an Indian bank (confirming bank).

For first transactions or buyers from higher-risk countries, always request a confirmed LC.

What is factoring and is it available for India-EU trade?

Export factoring allows Indian exporters to sell their export invoices (accounts receivable) to a factor at a discount, receiving immediate cash instead of waiting for the EU buyer to pay. Two-factor system: Indian export factor purchases the invoice and bears the buyer credit risk; EU import factor collects payment from the EU buyer. Available via FCI (Factors Chain International) member institutions in India and EU.

Under FEMA, Indian exporters can hedge up to 100% of contracted foreign currency exposures with RBI-authorised banks.
