- HDFC Bank, India’s largest private sector bank, became the first bank in the country to issue an Electronic Bank Guarantee (e-BG) in partnership with National E-Governance Services Limited (NeSL).
- aper based, time-consuming process has been eliminated with the new electronic bank guarantees that can be processed, stamped, verified and delivered instantly with enhanced security. This is a transformational change, and the Bank will migrate to eBG to benefit all its customers.
- e-BG boosts efficiency and security, while enabling the beneficiary to instantly view a bank guarantee on the NeSL portal.
- The e-BG would be issued on the NeSL portal through an API-based digital workflow.
- Digitisation of the overall bank guarantee process ensures ease of doing business for MSMEs, who are the major applicants for bank guarantees.
- The e-BG was developed in consultation with the NeSL, CVC-CBI committee and Indian Banks’ Association (IBA).
