    LoUs

    What exactly is a LoU?

    A Letter of Undertaking or a LoU is a guarantee which is given by an issuing bank to the Indian banks having branches abroad to grant a short-term credit to the applicant.

    In case of default, the bank issuing the LoU has to pay the liability to the bank that gave the credit along with the accruing interest.
