FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What is EMD and why is it required in tenders?

Earnest Money Deposit is a security amount submitted with a tender bid to show the bidder is serious. If the winning bidder refuses to accept the work order after winning, the EMD is forfeited. It is typically 2–5% of the estimated tender value and is returned to unsuccessful bidders after the result.
Accepted instruments vary by tender but typically include Demand Draft (DD), Bank Guarantee (BG), online payment via portal (NEFT/RTGS) or Fixed Deposit Receipt. Some tenders also accept e-EMD through the portal payment gateway. We verify the exact accepted modes for your specific tender.
Yes. MSME registered businesses (with valid Udyam certificate) are generally exempt from EMD or eligible for a 50% reduction as per government procurement policy. We prepare the exemption documentation and guide you on claiming this benefit correctly in your bid.
A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) is submitted by the winning bidder after receiving the Letter of Award. It is typically 5–10% of the contract value and remains valid until project completion. It protects the government against non-performance. We coordinate PBG issuance with your bank and verify it before submission.
