Usually the exporter does not rely on the credit of a banker in the country of importer, and insist on a confirmation from a banker carrying on business in his own country. Thus this department of a bank helps the exporters to settle down their financial affairs. For exporting it is necessary for exporter to get export license from the chief controller of import and export after registration.
Documents are required for the registration such as N. I. C. Card, income tax certificate, bank certificate which shows that the exporter is his account holder and have a good dealing with them. In response to the letter of credit exporter submit the following documents to the negotiating bank.

The goods have been shipped within the time allowed under L/C. The goods are mentioned in invoice and other documents (e.g. bill of lading, packing list etc) are in accordance with merchandise clause L/C.
Whether the documents received pertains to L/C , established by the opening bank and the documents negotiated are within or equal to L/C amount.

The name of the importer on the Bill of Exchange does not differ from that on the import license. The tenor of the bill should be valid. See that the goods are not shipped prior to the date of opening of L/C or the documents are not stated.
The goods are consigned or endorsed in the favor of the bank only opening the letter of credit, and in no case it should be consigned to the importer directly.

EXPORT RE–FINANCING
It is most important features of export. Export refinancing is used to enhance the export of the country. It was firstly started in 1977 and re-established in 1994. Here the exporting companies can get advances at a very low mark up i.e. lower then inflation rate. Banks get advances from State bank at 6% and provide advances to the exporting companies at 8% and 2% is spread of the bank i.e. is the income of the bank. This export-refinancing advance can only be used for export and not for other purposes, state bank gets information about export through E – form. There are two parts of export refinancing.
¨ P-1
¨ P-II
P-1
Two forms of P-1 are pre-shipment and port shipment
P-1 Pre-shipment
In P-1 pre-shipment companies make an agreement with foreign companies and get loan from the bank to make products and shipping them to foreign countries i.e. they get advance before shipping the products.
P-1 Post-shipment
In P-1 the post-shipment companies make an agreement with foreign countries and produce some of the products and ship them and get advance from the bank to complete the shipment.
P-II
In P-II pre-shipment companies get lumpsum for the whole next year and the entire amount can be used to export the products. The companies have to export double than the advance gets through P-II shipment. In P-II pre-shipment the lumpsum amount can be calculated on the basis of performance of the last year. If a company is unable to make double export than the advance, then bank makes some penalty in the forms of amount against the company.
SPECIAL PRODUCTS
Export refinancing cannot be applied for exporting all types of products. Some products are
¨ Cotton cloth
¨ Cotton products
¨ Finished leather
¨ Refined sugar
¨ High quality yarn i.e. more than thirty count
Each company has different limit at a time and bank has to make a report at the end of each month and one copy of that report is sent to state bank and one copy to head office at Karachi
¨ Cash finance
¨ Running finance
¨ Demand finance
¨ Export refinancing I
¨ Export refinancing II
¨ FAFB
¨ FBP

¨ Undertaking as per Annexe UT-DE-1
¨ Form DE-1
¨ Form DE-2
¨ Original contract
¨ Undertaking as per Annexe A
¨ Certificate of non-availment of loan.
CHEQUES
When we talk of cheques then there are two types of cheques
1) Open Cheque
Open cheque has following properties:
¨ The word Bearer is not crossed.
¨ Cross stamp is not there
¨ Cheque is not of limited companies.
¨ Self or name should be written on the cheque.
Token
A token is given on open cheques when presented to bank for payment. In this case payment is made at the spot to the cheque holder. First of all cheque is presented to bank for payment. The name of holder, no of cheque and amount is written on the register by the bank employee & token is given to cheque holder. Then Cheque reaches the computer department. There it is again feeded in computer & it is stamped after checking the holder has enough amount in his account or not. After feeding in computer ( debiting holder’s A/C ) , the cheque reaches the cash department where the holder can receives his cash by giving token to the cashier provided that he has enough amount in his A/C.
2) Crossed cheque
When the cheque does not fulfil the requirement of open cheque then it is known as crossed cheque.
A) Transfer Delivery
When cheque has following properties then it is proceeded as Transfer Delivery.
¨ Cheque is crossed.
¨ Cheque is of MCB.
¨ Cheque is from local branch.
In this situation cheques are collected separately as transfer Delivery.
Procedure
In Transfer Delivery following process is done.
First of all cheques are noted in Transfer Delivery Ledger with the date in advance because it takes one day to reach cheque issuing branch in the same city. In T.D Ledger Name of account holder, Number & amount of Cheque are written and two copies , one original and one carbon copy of voucher SF-73 B are prepared. Original copy of voucher along with cheque is send to issuing branch while carbon copy and Pay-In-Slip is with the bank.
The cheque with voucher goes to Main branch then to issuing branch and then reverse from issuing branch to main branch and then to our branch.
B) Clearing
In clearing the cheques which are
¨ crossed
¨ limited company
¨ different bank in the same city
Procedure
Such cheques are collected as clearing cheques and are noted in Clearing Ledger. Two copies of voucher SF-37 are prepared (See Annexe ) . Original voucher with the cheques are send to Main branch which then send to S.B.P in advance date. The payment is not given at hand but it is transferred to account of account holder. In case if cheque is returned due to number of reasons then the objection is finished and again send to main branch but this time a credit voucher along with original cheque is send to main branch instead of any Pay-In-Slip.
Advance Clearing
When cheque is sorted for clearing because of different branch in the same city then we note these cheques in two days advance date because it takes more time to reach that faraway branch . For example HBL of Baha-ud-Din Zakariya University Multan
Procedure of Payment of Cheque of Foreign Currency
When cheques are denominated in foreign currency then procedure is not like that of ordinary cheques of Rs. First of all cheques are issued and the person give cheque to another person. When any party receives cheque in foreign currency to deposit in his account then it gives it to the ban where he has his bank account. The Bank sends this cheque to its Head Office. Head Office send it to the country where transaction is done over that currency. Then cheque goes to New York
Now there may be two cases:
1) Either account is in Pak Rs.
2) Or account is in that country
3) Or account is in Foreign Currency other than the currency in cheque.
C) Cheque Collection
When cheque is from another city then it is grouped as C.C.
Procedure
SF-37 form is used in Cheque collection (See Annexe ) Original voucher with cheque is send to main branch. Carbon copy with Pay-In-Slip is taken by bank for record purposes.
Pay-In-Slip
Here it is very necessary to have knowledge about Pay-In-Slip
Purpose
It is used for two purposes
¨ Whenever we want to deposit cash in our account then pay-in-slip is used by writing amount on it and depositing it to cashier along with money.
¨ Whenever we have cheque from any party to be collected in our account we fill pay-in-slip . One part is attached with cheque and another is given to cheque holder as a receipt.
Types
It is of two types depending upon the type of account.
¨ Green Pay-In-Slip is used for Saving Account (See Annexe )
¨ Blue Pay-In-Slip is used for Current Account (See Annexe )
Stamps Used In Bank (MCB)
Following stamps are used in for different purposes.
(1)Cross Stamp
This stamp is used to cross the cheque. Crossing can be done by 3 ways.

Sometimes the cheque is crossed by the drawing two lines on the upper left corner of the cheque without writing any sentence on the cheque.
b) Written Crossing
Cheque can also be crossed by stamping it with sentence “Pays Account Only”
c) Special Crossing
Crossing can also be done by stamping a cheque with the words “MCB GBS Branch”. This means that now cheque is in use of bank only. If it is lost or dropped then it is of no use to anybody because now it is a cheque of bank. This cheque will not be cashed any where else.
(2) “Payees Account Will be Credited on Realisation”
