Specific Policy for Supply Contract

Specific Policy for Supply Contract

The Standard Policy is a whole turnover policy designed to provide a continuing insurance for the regular flow of an exporter’s shipments for which credit period does not exceed 180 days. Contracts for export of capital goods or turnkey projects or construction works or rendering services abroad are not of a repetitive nature and they involve medium/long-term credits. Such transactions are, therefore, insured by ECGC on a case-to-case basis under Specific Contract Policies.

What are the formalities to be completed before applying for specific policies for contracts?

All contracts for export on deferred payment terms and contracts for turnkey projects and construction works abroad require prior clearance of Authorized Dealers, EXIM Bank or the Working Group in terms of powers delegated to them as per exchange control regulations (Kindly refer to ‘Projects Exports Manual’ of Reserve Bank of India. For further details go to www.rbi.org.in Applications for the purpose are to be submitted to the Authorized Dealer (the financing bank), which will forward applications beyond its delegated powers to the EXIM Bank. Proposals for Specific Policy are to be made to ECGC after the contract has been cleared by the Authorized Dealer, EXIM Bank or the Working Group, as the case may be.
