Collection of USD

COLLECTION OF USD DENOMINATED CLEAN INSTRUMENTS

1. INTRODUCTION:

Clean instruments denominated in currencies other than Indian Rupees such as Euro, Pound Sterling, US Dollar, Yen, etc., are called foreign currency cheques/clean instruments.  Since such instruments are not payable in India they are, therefore, required to be sent to the country concerned for realization of proceeds.  The time norms for collection and return of the instruments vary from country to country and place to place within a country.

Clean instruments / Cheques payable at foreign centers where our bank has branch operations (or banking operations through a subsidiary, etc.) will be collected generally through that office/branch. The services of correspondent banks will be utilized in country/centres where the correspondent has a presence. Cheques drawn on foreign banks at centres where the bank or its correspondents do not have direct presence will be sent direct to the drawee bank with instructions to credit proceeds to the Nostro Account of the bank maintained with one of the correspondent banks.

The clean instruments denominated in USD and payable in USA are generally known as USD denominated cheques/instruments.
