The corresponding debit is raised in the account of the customer. His account is also debited with the remittances.

These are issued as a facility to travellers within the country or abroad. In either case, the person desiring such instruments of credit to be issued in his favour or some other party is made to deposit the full value of the letter of credit or travellers' cheques issued in his favour. The amount deposited by the customer is placed to the credit of Letters of Credit Account or Travellers' Cheques Account, as the case may be. When the bills of Exchanges drawn against the Letters credit are received for payment, the amount is debited to the Letter of Credit Account. Similarly, the travellers' cheques, when presented are debited to the Travellers' Cheque Account. In the case of customers desiring travellers' cheques in a foreign currency, the equivalent value thereof in home currency in collected from them at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of issue of the traveller's cheque and the bank either purchases immediately the amount of foreign exchange equal to the value of the travellers' cheque issued, or transfers out of its balances of foreign currency an amount equivalent to the value of travellers' cheques to the Travellers Cheques Account. In the case of letters of credit in foreign currency, the same procedure is followed.
