Hi Arun ,

as per answer B , payment is made in duplicate.İf issuıing bank effect payment directly to beneficiary , beneficary can claim second payment via beneficiary's bank because undertaking cant not be cancelled without obtain beneficiary's instruction.

Check the documents and, if compliant, make payment to the beneficiary and seek
cancellation of the reimbursement undertaking.

Hi, as per article 16 of URR the issuing bank remains liable for reimbursing bank charges even if the reimbursement claim is not presented to reimbursing bank. So it is wise that the issuing bank pays through reimbursing bank and thereby let reimbursing bank take its charges from amount reimbursed.
