07 October 2020 We as importer will raise LC in favour of foreign supplier. Conventionally, signed PO + Order Acknowledgement with bank account details are required for writing LC. However, suddenly , concerned team additionally ask an invoice in the form of a statement which will specify (i) the
material to be supplied and (ii) the amount payable through LC as per the
order with complete bank details.

As supply will take place after one year, is it justifiable to insist on Invoice- which supplier denies.
Please guide
