Note your expected payment dates, shipment dates, and realisation dates for the next six months. This one habit helps you decide how much PC INR or PCFC you need \u2014 and exactly when.

This single change alone can bring your effective borrowing cost down to the 6 to 7% range.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"fx2-step\">\n        <div class=\"fx2-step-num\">3<\/div>\n        <div class=\"fx2-step-content\">\n          <h3>Negotiate the spread on your PCFC<\/h3>\n          <p>Banks often quote higher spreads on PCFC \u2014 sometimes 1.5% or more when the standard is 0.75 to 1.25%. Ask your relationship manager for a better rate. Show them your track record and your export volumes. A small negotiation can save your business lakhs every year.
