Protecting Indian textile exporters against payment and political risks.

← Back to Services

1. What is ECGC?

The Export Credit Guarantee Corporation (ECGC) provides credit risk insurance to exporters against non-payment by overseas buyers due to commercial or political risks. It enables textile exporters to expand confidently into global markets by safeguarding their receivables.

2. Documents Required

  • Import Export Code (IEC)
  • Business Registration Certificate (MSME/GST)
  • Buyer Credit Information / Reports
  • Export Invoices & Shipping Documents
  • Bank Certificate (BRC/FIRC)

3. How ECGC Protection Works

  1. Exporter applies for an ECGC policy (e.g., Shipments Comprehensive Risks).
  2. ECGC assesses the creditworthiness of the foreign buyer and the country risk.
  3. Policy is issued with specific credit limits.
  4. Exporter ships goods and declares them to ECGC.
  5. If the buyer fails to pay due to commercial or political reasons, ECGC compensates up to 90% of the loss.
