An 8-module structured programme on the complete India export documentation stack, trade finance instruments, and payment risk management. Conducted by Vinod Kumar Jain — former President, Okhla Industrial Association, with forty years of manufacturing and export experience across the NCR-Delhi industrial corridor.
India's export documentation framework is among the most complex in the world — IEC, Shipping Bill, GST LUT, RCMC, RODTEP, ECGC, FEMA, AD bank compliance, and the full suite of trade finance instruments from LC to DA to DP to Open Account. Errors at any point cascade into delayed shipments, dishonoured LCs, and regulatory penalties.
Vinod Kumar Jain has spent four decades navigating this system from the factory floor — as a manufacturer, exporter, and former President of the Okhla Industrial Association. His network spans over 500 NCR-Delhi factory owners and exporters. This programme distils forty years of hard-won documentation intelligence into an 8-module curriculum that eliminates the trial-and-error learning curve.
Every module is anchored in operational reality: what the AD bank actually requires, how customs officers interpret the Shipping Bill, what ECGC needs before paying a claim, and how to structure payment terms to protect your working capital across a 16-week export cycle.
First-time Indian exporters preparing their initial overseas shipment · Export managers at manufacturing companies transitioning from domestic to international sales · Factory owners in the NCR-Delhi, Ludhiana, Surat, Tirupur, and Pune corridors · Logistics and documentation executives at export houses · Entrepreneurs preparing export documentation for EU, GCC, or African mandates · Banks and trade finance professionals advising Indian exporters
No IEC, no export. No RCMC, no export benefits. No GST LUT, no zero-rated invoice. The IEC and associated registrations are the foundation on which everything else is built.
The Shipping Bill filed with Indian Customs is a legal document. Errors in HS code, declared value, or IEC details cannot be corrected after goods have crossed the customs boundary.
A Letter of Credit pays only on presentation of strictly compliant documents. One discrepancy — wrong consignee, wrong shipping mark, late presentation — can result in non-payment of the entire LC.
Export proceeds must be repatriated within 9 months of shipment date. Missing this triggers RBI scrutiny. The Enforcement Directorate notices that follow can freeze operations.
RODTEP cannot be claimed retroactively. It must be declared at Shipping Bill stage. Exporters who miss this declaration forego 0.5-4.3% of FOB value — permanently.
ECGC pays up to 90% of export default losses — but only with complete documentation: original shipping documents, buyer demand notices, and evidence of legal action taken.
From IEC registration to FEMA repatriation — the complete India export documentation and trade finance curriculum.
One-on-one sessions with Vinod Kumar Jain. For first-time exporters, factory owners preparing their first overseas shipment, and experienced exporters who want to close gaps in their documentation and finance knowledge.
Delivered to the export documentation team, accounts department, and factory management simultaneously. Covers the complete documentation and finance stack with company-specific examples from the client's product category and export markets.
For exporters with existing export operations who want Vinod Kumar Jain to review their current documentation processes, identify errors and gaps, and implement a corrected workflow. Combines programme modules with hands-on review of real shipping documents.
Vinod Kumar Jain served as President of the Okhla Industrial Association — one of Delhi's most significant manufacturing industry bodies. His network includes 500+ factory owners and exporters across the NCR-Delhi manufacturing corridor.
Direct export experience across engineering goods, textiles, chemicals, food products, and pharmaceuticals — covering the EU, GCC, ASEAN, African, and Americas corridors from the India supply side.
Vinod Kumar Jain is the Senior Principal of Global Nexus, managing India-side supplier relationships, manufacturer vetting, and export documentation for all active trade facilitation mandates.
Every example in this programme is drawn from real shipping documents, real LC discrepancies, real ECGC claims, and real ED notices — not hypothetical cases. The programme is built on forty years of operational experience.
