Means the rate at which, for purpose of the transfer of funds through banking channels (i.e. other than transactions in bank notes, travellers cheques and similar banking instruments), a bank will purchase a given amount of foreign currency exchange for one unit (or units) of the national currency of the country, in which the exchange transaction takes place. Note: Where no such banker’s rates are available, the rates published by the IATA Clearing House may be used in lieu of such bankers buying rates. In future, the applicable banker’s rates or the sources where such rates applicable will be published weekly or monthly by the carriers.
Banker's Selling Rate (BSR)
Means the rate at which, for the purpose of transfer of funds through banking channels (i.e. other than transactions in bank notes, travellers cheques and similar banking instruments), a bank will sell a given amount of foreign currency in exchange for one unit (or units) of the national currency of the country, in which the exchange transaction takes place.
Country of Commencement of Transportation
The country from which travel on the first international sector takes place.
Country of Payment
The country where payment is made by the purchaser to the carrier or its agent.
Currency of the Country of Payment
The currency in which international fares are denominated.
Date of Transportation

NUC values
Fares, add-ons and related charges are published in the Passenger Air Tariff in NUC values. These values will be revised every January, April, July and October together with the factors shown in the NUC Conversion Factors Table.
The NUC value for a local currency amount not published in this tariff can be obtained by dividing such local currency amount by the conversion factor shown in the NUC Conversion Factors Table for the country in which the currency is denominated. Express the resultant NUC amount to two decimal places, ignoring any further decimal places.
When excess baggage charges are paid in a currency other than the local currency, the local currency amount must be converted to the currency of payment at the BBR.
“Other charges” established in local currency amounts and shown on the ticket are converted to the currency of the country of sale at the BSR. When payment is made in a currency other than the currency of the country of payment, the equivalent local currency amount in the country of payment will be collected at the BBR.
Construction of unpublished fares
Fares in the Passenger Air Tariff are published in local currency and NUC’s.
If a through fare for a particular journey is not published, and therefore requires the combination of local currency fares (or the construction of fares by use of add-on amounts) on the same ticket, construct the through fare for such journey as follows.
• 1. Add the published NUC amounts for the sectors involved.
• 2. Multiply the resultant total by the exchange rate in the NUC Conversion Factors Table for the country of commencement of travel. Take the resultant amount to one decimal place beyond the rounding unit indicated in the table.
• 3. Round the resultant total in accordance with the NUC Conversion Factors Table.

The passenger will need to pay any fare increase but also is entitled to a refund of fare in case of fare decrease. in case a refund is due convert the fare difference to the currency of the country of collection at the BSR in effect at the time of the original issue. Local legal or fiscal requirements may overrule these regulations. 1.

� The routing specified on the ticket, if the point of termination was on such routing, or
� the routing of any carrier(s) operating between such points, if the point of termination was not on the routing specified on the ticket; in such case the amount of refund will be based on the lowest fare applicable between such points,
o or the difference between the fare paid and the fare for the transportation used or to be used whichever is higher;

MCO/MPD's and PTA's
Honouring specified documents
If a PTA or MCO/MPD is to be accepted for payment of specified international air transportation, the fare shall be calculated in the currency of the country of commencement of transportation. The equivalent fare paid shall be calculated in the currency of the country of PTA or MCO/MPD issuance using the BSR, whereby the applicable exchange rate shall be that in effect at the time and place the MCO/MPD or PTA is issued.
EXAMPLE:
Last update: 01.06.2010 20
PTA to be sold in Singapore for payment of a journey BOM- SIN Y-cl i.e. outgoing PTA.
• Step (i): Check NUC fares in both directions
• BOM - SIN NUC 370.19
SIN - BOM NUC 516.21
The higher fare NUC 516.21 must be converted into INR at the ROE of NUC 1 = INR 14.09245 resulting in INR 7275.
• Step (ii): Fare in the currency of country of commencement of transportation must now be converted into the currency of country of payment.
INR 7275 at BSR of INR 100 = SGD 12.30 resulting in SGD 895. The PTA will show INR 7275 as ‘value for exchange’ and SGD 895 as ‘equivalent amount paid’.
EXCEPTIONS:
For country restrictions regarding payment of tickets outside country of commencement of travel and restrictions on PTA issuances
Honouring unspecified documents
If a MCO/MPD is to be accepted for payment of international air transportation, the local currency fare shall be calculated in the currency of the country of commencement of transportation.
• 1) If payment is inside country of commencement of travel (COC)
The local currency fare shall then be converted into the currency shown on the MCO/MPD at the Bankers Buying Rate (BBR).
• 2) If payment is outside COC
The local currency fare shall then be converted into the currency of the country of payment (i.e. where MCO/MPD is presented for payment) at the Bankers Selling Rate (BSR). If the currency on the MCO/MPD is not the same as the currency of the country of payment, this equivalent fare is then further converted into the currency shown on the MCO/MPD at the latest BBR.
In respect of items 1 or 2 above, deduct the fare amount from the MCO/MPD if its value covers the entire amount. If the MCO/MPD value is not enough to cover the amount to be collected, the remaining amount shall be converted back into the currency of the country of payment at the BBR.
Note: BSR and BBR shall be those rates in effect at the time and place of ticket issuance.
MCOs/MPDs for unspecified transportation (or other totally unused traffic documents) issued in a currency marked with a # in the NUC Conversion Factors Table will be honored only in the original country of payment.
Last update: 01.06.2010 21

EXCEPTION

• An MCO issued for specified transportation or land arrangements of a specified tour may be honoured only by the carrier or operator (organization) on whom it is drawn or later endorsed.

• Any unspecified MCO issued by a carrier exceeding USD 750 or the equivalent at the banker’s selling rate, must not be honoured.
NOTE:
