The letter of credit should have an expiration date that gives sufficient time to the seller to get all the tasks specified and the documents required in the LC. If the letter of credit expires, the seller is left with no protection.
Most LC s fail because Sellers/Exporters/Beneficiaries were unable to perform within the specified time frame in the LC.
Three dates are of importance in an LC:
a) The date by when shipment should have occurred. The date on the Bill of Lading.
b) The date by when documents have to be presented to the Bank
c) The expiry date of the LC itself.
in view of above in your case asking bank to issue a letter of indemnity in order to take up the goods without surrender of an original bill of lading.
