Frequently asked — Senec

How does AJG verify my counterparty?

For high-value mandates, AJG requires audited financial statements from the counterparty.
What is the India-UK FTA status?
India-UK FTA negotiations were launched in January 2022. As of 2026, negotiations are in advanced stages with most chapters substantially complete. Key issues: Indian IT professionals (Mode 4 visas), Scotch whisky tariff (India currently 150%), UK automotive tariff on Indian cars, and dairy. Conclusion expected in 2025-2026.
What is the difference between a confirmed and unconfirmed LC?
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). Confirmation eliminates the risk that the EU issuing bank defaults or the EU country imposes foreign exchange restrictions. 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.
How do I hedge INR/EUR exchange rate risk?
Indian exporters can hedge EUR/INR exposure using: (1) Forward contracts with Indian banks — lock in the EUR/INR rate for a future delivery date; (2) Cross-currency swap — exchange EUR receivables for INR at a fixed rate; (3) Options — buy the right (not obligation) to exchange at a fixed rate. Under FEMA, Indian exporters can hedge up to 100% of contracted foreign currency exposures with RBI-authorised banks.
What is a Let Export Order (LEO)?
Let Export Order (LEO) is the Indian customs officer' permission for goods to be physically loaded onto the export vessel or aircraft. LEO is granted after the customs officer verifies the shipping bill and examines the goods (or waives examination for AEO/low-risk exporters). LEO timestamp is the official export date for all purposes including RoDTEP, drawback, and GST refund claims.
