Sir

Pay through Credit cars or request your bank to get it done for 06 months.
Otherwise request any one from UAE / Singapore to get one for you

Stay Blessed

Hi nm1985,

We are in same situation.We got DD from HDFC,and there is no validity date mentioned on that draft.Also as per bank,if there is no validity date it is valid for all time.

Please suggest what to do in this case. Also heard the ICICI Bank issues DD valid for 6 months.

What step you took in your case?Waiting for response.


Thanks,

thanks nm1985.

Even I got the similar response from manager handling Forex for HDFC bank.
That in India it is valid for 3 months for outside India 6 months.

But I am not getting if I should believe him, because he mentioned "I think...".

Moreover, no valid upto date mentioned on the DD.

i dont have any other option but to trust him so i would go ahead with the draft from ubi...... moreover if rbi has guidelines it would be same for both psu as well as for pvt. sector banks, i mean similar for both ubi and hdfc.

lets see whats in store .... did u search google and find out the rbi guidelines for the draft validity ???? if yes plz do share the link with me also as i would like to go through it ......

Do you have any "Valid upto" date mentioned on the draft?

In my case, there is no such date, that further adds to the confusion/uncertainty.

Thanks,
