— Section 01 — Why surety

A bond that does the job of a BG, without locking your cash.

Bank guarantees tie up margin money and eat into your CC limit. An insurance surety bond is backed by an insurer instead, so your working capital stays in the business. Full breakdown in the BG vs surety bond guide.

— Section 05 — FAQs

Questions, answered plainly.

The five we're asked most. Bond-specific questions are answered on each bond's guide.

How is a surety bond different from a bank guarantee?
A bank guarantee locks up cash margin or an FD lien and eats into your CC limit. A surety bond is backed by an insurer instead, so your working capital and bank limit stay free, for a small annual premium.
Is it accepted by government departments?
Yes. Insurance surety bonds are recognised under Indian procurement norms and accepted by 290+ obligees including NHAI, CPWD, Railways and GeM. We confirm acceptance for your specific tender before you commit.
How quickly can a bond be issued?
Most bonds are issued in days once we have your tender details and basic financials, versus the weeks a bank guarantee can take.
What does it cost?
You pay an annual premium, typically a small percentage of the bond value, instead of locking cash as margin. Indicative rates start around 0.95% p.a. and vary by grade and bond type. Final terms depend on underwriting.
Which bonds can you replace?
Bid, performance, mobilisation / advance-payment, retention, security-deposit, customs and court bonds — across roads, metro, power, water and other infrastructure sectors.
