Municipal corporation surety bond questions.

Do municipal corporations accept insurance surety bonds?
It varies by city and department, similar to state PWDs — municipal corporations run their own procurement rules and adopt the GFR-aligned surety-bond framework at different speeds. We confirm acceptance against your specific tender before you bid, not after.
Which municipal corporations does Rakshati work with?
We've placed enquiries against tenders from BMC (Mumbai), MCD (Delhi), GHMC (Hyderabad), BBMP (Bengaluru) and other city municipal corporations. Acceptance is confirmed per-tender.
What kind of municipal contracts need a surety bond?

What if the tender format only mentions bank guarantee?
You can request a clarification before bid submission, citing the GFR 2022 amendment and IRDAI guidelines. Some municipal departments accept surety bonds case-by-case even before formally updating their templates — get the authority's confirmation in writing before you submit.
