    Solution

    A transferable credit is one that  can  be  transferred  by  the  original (first)  beneficiary  to  one  or  more  second  beneficiaries. Unless specifically stated an LC is not transferable i.e. the  LC  is  deemed  to  be  transferable  only  if  it  is  stated  to  be ‘Transferable’  in  the  LC. Second beneficiary has no right to transfer to third beneficiary
