Rajesh Exports Ltd.'s dispute with Canara Bank is casting fresh light on how the gold exporter used bank-funded trade finance to route payments to its own overseas subsidiary, raising questions about the flow of funds within the group as repayment obligations later went unmet. The case centres on the use of letters of credit, a standard financing tool in global trade. Under this structure, Canara Bank issued LCs on behalf of Rajesh Exports to pay overseas suppliers for gold imports.
