Application Letter to Bank for Write Off of Unrealised Export Bills

The exporter needs to make an application to the Authorised Dealer bank seeking write-off of outstanding amount of export bills subject to limits specified and other conditions under relevant RBI guidelines.

The exporter needs to provide necessary documentary evidence along with the application in order to prove that he was unable to realise the export proceeds despite his best efforts. A certificate from a Chartered Accountant is also essential to this effect.

Here is a sample of application to the bank manager requesting for write-off of unrealised export bills.
