3. Similarly, applications covering export bills should be supported with a certification to the effect that the exporter-borrowers' packing credits rediscounted with the BSP had been liquidated by the exporters concerned and that the corresponding loan values had been fully settled with the BSP and/or, in case of partial negotiations of L/Cs, the corresponding amounts had been applied in partial payment of the exporters' packing credit advances and the proportionate loan values had been remitted to the BSP.

4. The proceeds of any rediscounting application shall be credited to the demand deposit account of the applicant commercial bank on the same date the said application is filed with the Department of Loans and Credit, BSP, provided such application is received at or before 12:00 noon and the supporting papers are complete.
