19 October 2011 respected experts ,
our company used import raw material from out side India. We used to avail buyers credit for payments. These days our baker is unable to arrange the funds at LIBOR+2% so we are approaching a dealer who will make the arrangements with foreign bank for remittance at LIBOR+4% rate . but in offer letter the foreign bank mention only LIBOR+2%. additional 2% they are calling it as handling charges or affront fee. But they wont mention about this extra 2% any where. Our Indian banker is denying to remit the extra 2% as it is not as per RBI norms. we are not even able to account for that remittance also . Please help me in this regard what to do on our behalf to account for such extra 2% remittance. very urgent . Thanks in advance

20 October 2011 Hello,

I have saw the offer letter. its mentioned libor+ 200bps. hence your future liability will be arise at libor+200bps,

as you said the you have arrange this buyers credit through the dealer at libour+400bps, i wanna to clarify the margin of 200bps would be paid to dealer just now or at the time of due date of payment of buyers credit.

Futher, I think payment to dealer will be done in INR currency.

Hence you can book the margin of 200bps as arrangement fee in books of accounts.
