Foreign Guarantee Structuring and RBI Approval Services for Indian Companies
RBI Compliant Bank Guarantee & SBLC Issuance for Indian Companies
Offshore Credit Support Without the Regulatory Headache
When a foreign parent, lender, or supplier is ready to backstop your Indian exposure, the last thing you need is FEMA red tape derailing the timeline. The Reserve Bank of India treats every cross‑border guarantee as a capital‑account transaction—one misplaced clause and the application bounces.
We shepherd the process end‑to‑end: drafting iron‑clad wording, lining up your authorised‑dealer bank, steering the file through RBI queries, and tracking every SWIFT until the guarantee or standby letter of credit (SBLC) is confirmed in India. You focus on the deal; we handle the regulatory trenches.
Who We Help
- Indian corporates seeking an overseas SBLC or corporate guarantee to secure rupee loans or performance obligations
- Importers looking to wrap short‑term trade credit with a foreign bank guarantee
- Infrastructure SPVs tapping the automatic route for credit‑enhanced rupee bonds
- Multinationals providing parent guarantees or keep‑well deeds for Indian subsidiaries
Ticket sizes range from USD 2 million to USD 200 million. Our playbook scales to fit.
Our Six‑Step Path to Approval
1 · Mandate & Kick‑Off
Commercial terms and fee grid land on one page; our retainer locks scope and timeline.
2 · Dossier Build‑Out
We craft UCP 600 / ISP 98‑ready text, cash‑flow forecasts, board and shareholder resolutions, and a razor‑sharp cover memo for the bank.
3 · AD Bank Filing
Your relationship manager uploads the application; we sit with their compliance desk so nothing stalls for “internal approvals.”
4 · RBI Review
Queries surface—we answer within 24 hours, citing Section 6(3)(j) and Regulation 3A line by line. No vague assurances.
5 · Issuance & Advising
The overseas guarantor fires the SWIFT. The Indian bank advises or confirms; we vet authenticity and wording before it hits your counterparty.
6 · Go‑Live & Reporting
Guarantee reference number in hand, you draw on facilities or lodge tender bids. We keep an eye on periodic returns and expiry clean‑down.
Documents You’ll Need
- Latest audited and management financials
- Cash‑flow model covering the guarantee term
- Underlying contract or loan agreement
- Board and shareholder resolutions (templates supplied)
- KYC pack for guarantor and beneficiary
Fees
Engagement fee USD 2,500 · Success fee 0.20 % of guarantee face value (payable only on issuance)
Regulatory Checkpoints We Navigate
Section 6(3)(j) of FEMA flags any cross‑border guarantee as a capital‑account item. Regulation 3A of the 2000 Guarantees Rules blocks the deal unless you fall under the infrastructure carve‑out or win specific RBI consent. We pre‑empt the regulator’s questions—end‑use, servicing ability, exposure limits—so your file moves without detours.
Banks now refuse to advise or confirm a non‑resident guarantee if Form FC‑GPR details are missing or group exposure caps are blown. We pre‑clear every draft with your AD bank, squashing rewrites before they happen.
