(ii)               In addition to export against Letter of Credit (LC) and/or FIRC, export would also be permitted against Cash Against Documents (CAD). Exporters have to indicate type of instrument (LC/FIRC/CAD) while applying for issue of RC.  [Please refer Sub- para (i) of Para 4 of Policy Circular No. 62(RE-2010)/2009-14 dated 14.05.2012].
