These documents are very much readable. 4.4 Regarding unsigned Bank Remittance Certificate, we would like to state that the certificates are computer generated. So, exempted from signature. However, we have got the said certificates signed by Bank officials and submitted as part of Proof of export. 4.5 As to the differen .....
