CONDITIONS
GOVERNING REMITTANCES:
- This Bank (Bank of India) agrees to
send at the expense and risk of the customer a message directing
payment in Indian Rupee in the amount and manner indicated. The
Bank does not warrant that the transfer of funds will reach the
payee. It may make use of any branch, or correspondent, agent or
sub-agent and shall not be under any liability for any errors,
negligence, suspension or default of any of them or for any
failure to identify the payee or any mispayment by any of them nor
shall the Bank be under any liability for any errors, mutilations,
delays, mis-delivery or failure of delivery in the transmission of
any message in connection with this transaction whether or not in
code or whether by mail, postal service, telegraph, cable,
wireless radio or otherwise, or for any suspension of any such
means of transmission or for any imposition of any censorship,
exchange control or other restriction, all such risks being borne
by the customer.
- Under no circumstances shall the Bank
be liable for any consequential damages of any sort. In case the
funds are not paid to the payee, whatever the reason, any
liability of the Bank will be conditioned upon its receipt from
the branch or correspondent of confirmation of effective
cancellation of the remittance abroad and shall be limited to
refunding the amount to be remitted, less expenses, which refund,
in the case of transactions relating to the remission of foreign
money, shall be made by (a) payment in Great Britain Pounds at the
Bank's buying rate in London, at the time of such refund, for the
foreign money to be remitted, or at the bank's option by (b)
forwarding by mail or otherwise to the Bank's branch or
correspondent or other banking houses abroad with which it may
then have or establish a sufficient credit in such foreign money
instructions to withhold there from an amount equivalent to the
amount to be remitted for the account and risk of the person to
whom refund is to be made, and the Bank shall not be otherwise
liable in connection herewith or for the consideration received by
it.
- Anything hereinbefore to the contrary
notwithstanding, any refund shall be made in case of mispayment of
funds by any correspondent, agent or sub-agent, and in case funds
for the payment of this transfer have been remitted or made
available abroad or otherwise covered, no refund shall be made
until the relative funds have been returned or otherwise made
freely available to the Bank.
- Cancellation of or amendment to a
remittance and investigation (each instance) will be charged
£15.00.
- Applications which do not contain
complete information may be rejected or delayed, and the Bank
shall not be responsible for any consequential loss.
- Remittance is sent by wire transfer to
our correspondent in the destination country which will forward
the remittance to the beneficiary or beneficiary bank
electronically or by using a paper instrument by surface mail, or
by any other means without additional charges. Processing of the
remittance beyond the point of delivery is not within the purview
of this service nor is it the responsibility or the obligation of
the Bank.
- Remittance request made on a form other
than the prescribed form will not be accepted and such requests
will be rejected.
- As we do not have connectivity with
other banks, we would request you to please confirm with the
beneficiary within a reasonable time after sending remittance
through us and bring to our notice non-delivery as soon as
possible, but within 30 days of the date of the remittance. We
will take up any case of non-delivery as expeditiously as
possible. If you do not advise us non-delivery within 30 days, it
may not be possible for us to trace the remittance thereafter. Any
investigation carried out after 45 days will be charged at a rate
of £30.00. Any charges imposed by the counterparty banks in this
connection would be additionally recovered.
- The contents provided by web links that
are not part of www.bankofindia.uk.com are not under our
control and hence we may not be held responsible for correctness
of the same.
- The Bank is at liberty to change the
applicable terms and conditions without any prior
notice.
