The old way vs. Rakshati.

Panel, in parallel

The old way means emailing insurers one at a time. Rakshati routes one file across the panel in parallel — so quotes come back together, not in sequence. Actual timing varies with underwriting.
— SECTION 01 — REPLACE YOUR BG
Still posting a bank guarantee?
A BG locks up 100% of the face value as margin or against your cash-credit limit — working capital that can't fund your next bid. A surety bond does the same job for a fraction in annual premium, and it doesn't touch your borrowing limit. Move the slider to see what you'd free up.
Free your limit. Keep the bid.
What a surety bond gives you that a bank guarantee never could:
- ✓Off your CC limit. A BG eats into your cash-credit / fund-based limit. A surety bond sits entirely outside it — your borrowing headroom stays free for the project.
- ✓No 100% margin. Banks often want 10–100% cash margin against a BG. Surety needs none — you pay only the annual premium.
- ✓Accepted on government tenders. Recognised under the 2023 GFR amendment — NHAI, NHIT, railways, and state PWDs accept surety in lieu of BGs.
- ✓One file, all 15 insurers. Same Rakshati workspace, no separate bank relationship to negotiate per bond.

— SECTION 02 — THE COMPARISON
Same risk.
Different week.
What's actually different about going through Rakshati vs. running a placement yourself or through a generalist intermediary. Honest comparison; we lose on one column.
The old way · single-insurer
You email one insurer at a time.
- Email the contact, attach a 14-page PDF, hope they read it
- Wait 7–14 days for a quote, longer to negotiate
- If they decline, restart with the next insurer · serial process
- No standardised file — each insurer asks for different docs
- Commission opaque · folded into the rate · you can't see it
- Audit trail = your inbox · good luck handing that to the CFO

— SECTION 05 — THE PRICE
You pay nothing to us.
The platform is free for contractors.
Rakshati is free for contractors — no platform fee, no subscription. You pay only the insurer's bond premium, a fraction of the cash a bank guarantee locks up.
| Bond size | Premium (range) | What you pay Rakshati |
|---|---|---|
| Up to ₹2 cr | 0.95–1.40% p.a. of face | ₹0 |
| ₹2–5 cr | 0.85–1.20% p.a. of face | ₹0 |
| ₹5–25 cr | 0.75–1.10% p.a. of face | ₹0 |
| Above ₹25 cr | 0.65–0.95% p.a. of face | ₹0 |
Premium ranges indicative only · final rate depends on full underwriting. Excludes stamp duty (0.005% of face) and one-time admin charges (₹2,500/bond).
One standardised file. Every surety insurer on the panel. One competitive quote — instead of chasing insurers one at a time. That's the whole idea behind Rakshati.
