Introduction
A letter of credit is a document issued mostly by a
financial institution which usually provides an
irrevocable payment undertaking to a beneficiary
against complying documents as stated in the credit.
Letter of Credit is abbreviated as an LC or L/C, and
often is referred to as a documentary credit,
abbreviated as DC or D/C, documentary letter of
credit, or simply as credit (as in UCP- 600).
In documentary credit operations all parties
concerned deal in documents and not in goods.

prescribed times and value as mentioned in the LC on
revolving basis. After drawing is made the credit
reverts to its original amount for re-use by beneficiary
without requiring specific amendment to the credit.

iv) Local LC
This LC is not different than the other LCs which we
described earlier, but it is opened within the country.
In another word we can say it is an inland LC.
