Ah, what a lovely question! Usance and deferred payment LCs both involve payment terms in trade transactions, but there's a subtle difference. Usance LC allows the buyer a specific period after receiving the goods to make the payment, while deferred payment LC allows the buyer to make the payment at a later date agreed upon in the LC. Both methods offer flexibility and trust between the parties involved in the transaction.
An import LC is one made with reference to the buyer but with an export LC, the LC is changed to that with reference to the Issuing bank. This gives a stronger guarantee of payment to the seller.

The documents presented under a documentary credit are scrutinized as per the International standards of scrutiny and negotiated if they strictly comply with the LC terms. This is called a clean negotiation. On the other hand if the documents do not comply with the LC terms and discrepancies are found, the negotiating bank may still opt to give value under the LC by paying or incurring a deferred payment obligation as per LC provided the beneficiary undertakes to indemnify the negotiating bank in the event of rejection by the LC opening Bank. This is technically called a payment under reserve. The Reserve will be lifted on acceptance of discrepancies by the LC opening Bank.
DA mean documents against acceptance, where company give acceptance to pay their liabilities on due date, but he can pay remit the DA before its due date , but in case of Letter of Credit, UCP are not allowed to pay the LC liabilities before its due date. Thanks Anup Das
It means the bank will release your money after they approve your document presentation and get approval from the applicant of the letter of credit. If all documents are included and comply with the instructions of the LC, payment can be released according to the payment schedule (i.e. "Draft at 30 days after ship date").
Deferred LC is very usefull for both importers and exporters. 1-Importer does not hav to pay in-advance when uses deferred lc 2-but exporter guarantees that he will get the payment in a certain time after shipment and also if he wants he can discount in on the same day or on any days when the LC is booked. 3- deferred LC helps to the buyer who does not have cash but has credit in his bank 4- deferred LC helps to the seller, so he does not have to look for a buyer who has only cash money.He can discount the LC with a very low cost anytime.
LC confrmation charges is the charges paid to confirmation bank and born by the applicant, normally a confirmaton bank is bank which give the payment on the presentation of documents by applicant,s bank
A confirmed letter of credit is one where the exporter's bank asks for additional guarantee from another bank of its choice that if the buyer's bank is unable to honour it's obligations then the confirming bank will make the payment on the behalf of the buyer's bank. Here, the confirming bank may be in the same country as the exporter or a well reputed international bank.A restricted letter of credit is one in which the negotiation can only be done by the bank which is chosen by the bank issuing the LC. Authorization from the issuing bank to pay the beneficiary is restricted to a specific nominated bank. Meaning is that negotiating bank is only the bank which is nominated and no other bank is authorized to do the valuation of the LC other than the nominated bank. Thus, whereas the confirmed LC is one which requires authentication of payment of negotiated value(value arrived at by the negotiating bank) by the confirming bank( the respective trade documents along with the LC will pass from negotiating bank to confirming bank so that it can take note of the quantum of guarantee), the restricted LC only requires the valuation to be done by a specifically nominated negotiating bank. Here, in case of restricted LC, there is no guarantee involved from another bank as such to the exporter's bank that payment will be made. That guarantee can be there only when the LC is confirmed.Also, restricted LC is mainly focused on valuation of the LC, whereas confirmed LC is focused on additional payment guarantee from a bank of repute.I guess that should be the difference
