Exchange Rate- What is spot rate?

As per guidance from website of oanda spot rate is to be taken of the last day of earning period. Whereas on website of oanda there is no option of spot rate. Rather there is option of interbank rate and cash rate which is 4% higher than interbank rate. Which rate would be considered as spot rate?

Protector stamp is not required at all by HSMP participant and it is sheer wastage of time and resource.
HEC attestation is not required but this may speed up EC.
