BANK GUARANTEES
Bank Guarantee / Letter of Guarantee (L/G)
A written contract issued by a bank (Guarantor) on
behalf of a customer/applicant (Debtor) in favor of
beneficiary (creditor) whereby the bank undertakes to
pay or discharge the liability of the debtor in case of any
default.

Generally L/Gs are Close-Ended. Specific expiry date of

obligation of guarantor as well as customer/applicant
Continuous / Open Ended Guarantees: Favoring
Customs Deptt, Utility Companies (SNGPL/SSGCL, PTCL,
IESCO etc). Although expiry date is mentioned but
obligation does not end with expiry date
L/G Expiry Date stated. Obligation is of continuous nature
LG Called / Invoked / Encashment
Types of L/Gs
Bid Bond/ L/G 1% or 2% of the contract price
Performance Bond (L/G) 10% of the approved bid
amount e.g. 45M x 10% = PKR 4.5M
Advance Payment Guarantee (Mobilization Guarantee)
Shipping Guarantee
0.4% / quarter 1 year LG required. PKR 1M
PKR 4,000/quarter.
Year commission 4,000 x 4 = PKR 16,000
In case of continous/close ended guarantee the
beneficiary will compel the customer to arrange renewal
of L/G before expiry. At the same time bank will also
monitor LG expiry and would ask the customer to either
get it renewed or get it released from beneficiary

2018: Mohsin Ali & Co applied to UBL for PKR 2M Bid

Bond Limit. Mostly Bid Bonds are 1% of the Contract
Value. Therefore
1% of Contract Value = PKR 2M
Contract Value = PKR 2M = PKR 200M
1%
This indicates that customer is interested to Bid for
contract(s) of aggregate value PKR 200M. (1 contract of
PKR 200M OR more than one contract of aggregate
value PKR 200M)

What if all bids get successful??????

Performance Bond/Guarantee Needed Next (10% - 20%)
200 M x 10% = PKR 20M
200 M x 20% = PKR 40M

Bid Bond 2M
Performance Bond 20M
Total Limit PKR 22M

Mohsin Ali & Co 46M

Bid Bond 1% PKR 0.460M
Performance Bond 10% PKR 4.600M
Bid Bond 0.46M will be redeemed/released to customer
Bid Bond
 Issued by banks to their customers who wish to bid
for a contract
 Issued in favor of the party offering the contract i.e.
the beneficiary
 In case of unsuccessful bid, guarantee is returned to
applicant
 In case of successful Bid, Bid Bond is replaced
(usually) by a Performance Bond
 Instrument i.e. Bank Guarantee is also referred to as
Letter of Guarantee (L/G)

Example
Contract Amount PKR 100,000,000
Bid Bond Required 2% of Contract Value
So 2% of PKR 100M PKR 2,000,000
Assuming Cash Margin on Bid Bond 10%

Time Period 1 Quarter

Mobilization Guarantee/Advance Payment Guarantee

It is quite similar to RF Facility

Bid Bond Successful

Performance Bond Successfully Submitted
Bid Bond Release Successful
MG/APG Generally 5% - 25% of contract
amount
Lumpsum 25%. Five tranches of 5% each.
This guarantee will become operative and affective upon
receipt of mobilization advance at our counter.
Mobilization Advance is adjusted on pro-rata basis
against each submitted invoice/bill
Contract 100M
APG 20% of Contract PKR 20M
10 bills/invoice to be submitted of PKR 10M each
Mobilization Advance 10 Tranches
PKR 20 / 10 = PKR 2M will be the amount of Mobilization
Advance that will be adjusted against each invoice/bill
submitted by customer/applicant
Hence Net Proceeds received against each bill by
customer will be PKR 10M – PKR 2M = PKR 8M
