PERFORMANCE BANK GUARANTEE - PRACTICAL ASPECT


A performance bank guarantee provides a secure promise of compensation amount  by the bank  to the customer in the event that a supplier or sub contractor  does not meet delivery terms or other provisions in the contract. 

As per the agreement between the supplier and the customer, the supplier submit  the performance guarantee to the customer as a security for the proper performance of the contract.

If any breach of provisions of performance of contract or subcontract, then the customer can submit this performance guarantee to the bank and can claim for the compensation amount mentioned in the Performance Guarantee from the bank.

 Normally the customer will return the performance bank guarantee to the sub -contractor or supplier only after completing  the defect liability period (DLP) of that  particular contract and after particular agreed period  after completing the delivery of goods respectively.

Performance bank guarantee amount normally equal to 10% or 5% of total contract amount or LPO amount of the subcontract  or supplier respectively. It also depend on the negotiation and agreement between the parties concerned  in the contract.
