This may happen due to the insolvency or default of the opening bank or due to certain political risks such as war, transfer delays or moratorium, which may delay or prevent the transfer of funds to the bank in India. The Transfer Cover seeks to safeguard banks in India against losses arising out of such risks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Transfer Cover is issued, at the option of the bank to cover either political risks alone, or both political and commercial risks. Loss due to political risks is covered up to 90% and loss due to commercial risks up to 75%.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Applicable premium rates: The premium rates depend on the country of export and the tenor of L\/C.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter.
