Bill of Exchange Template Generator – Draft & Download (Trade Finance)

The Bill of Exchange Template Generator lets you produce a clean, print-ready draft in seconds. Enter the drawer, drawee, payee, tenor (sight or usance), amount, currency, LC reference, place and date of issue, and the generator lays it out in the standard international format used under documentary credits and bills for collection.

Choose between a sight draft (payable at sight) and a usance or term draft (payable at a fixed future date or a period after sight), see the amount written out in words, preview the finished document and print it. Ideal for exporters, importers, freight forwarders and trade finance teams in India who need a professional draft for LC presentations, DA/DP collections or internal records.

• Sight & usance draft support: Switch between a sight draft and a term draft with a day count and at-sight / after-date tenor.
• All parties covered: Enter drawer, drawee and payee with addresses and roles.
• Amount in figures and words: The amount is written out automatically in words for clarity and legal accuracy.
• LC reference fields: Add the LC number, date and issuing bank so the draft matches your documentary credit.
• Place & date of issue: Automatic today date, editable, with the place of issue field.
• Live preview & print: See the finished draft instantly and print or save it as a PDF from your browser.
• Free and private: Everything runs locally in your browser — nothing is stored.

Example 1 (Sight draft under an LC): An exporter in Chennai draws a sight draft under an irrevocable LC. They enter themselves as drawer, the issuing bank as drawee, their own company as payee, enter the LC number and date, and the amount in USD. The generator produces a clean draft marked “at sight” that matches the LC — ready for presentation.

Example 2 (Usance draft for DA collection): A seller ships goods on Documents against Acceptance (DA) terms with a 60-day bill. They select a usance draft, enter “60 days after sight”, the buyer as drawee and payee, and generate a term draft that will be accepted by the buyer and paid at maturity.

• Save time: Create a professional draft in minutes without templates or manual formatting.
• Reduce discrepancies: Keep the drawer, drawee, amount, tenor and LC reference aligned with your LC.
• Standard format: Uses the widely recognised layout used under documentary credits and collections.
• Print or PDF: Output a clean document for submission, records or bank use.
• 100% free and private: No sign-up, no upload, runs locally in your browser.
