Swift Charges Deducted

This is not strictly an L/C question. It relates to collections as well. The organisation that I work for has the practice of deducting a transmission charge from the proceeds of L/C's when they are sent to the negotiating bank.
This also applies to collections as well.
Is this a general practice in the banking industry?

D/C and collections as well should clearly stipulate to whom charges have to be borne to. Commissions and charges have therefore to be debited to said party.
