Aditya: We are exporting first time under advance payment terms. We have received 40% advance payment. Our bank denied to give us OD facility as our account is just 2 months old. They are not giving us any type of finance for arranging goods from other manufacturers. Please advise how to get about 60% loan of the order. It is required just for 2 months maximum.
