NeSL e-BG [ Electronic Bank Guarantee]

What is NeSL e-BG?

A Bank Guarantee is an instrument issued by a bank to stand a guarantee against non-performance by a party. Typical parties involved: Applicant, Issuing Bank, and Beneficiary. The Bank issues a guarantee after due diligence, and in case of default, the Issuing Bank takes necessary steps. eBG involves digital steps like application, preview, confirmation, e-stamping, e-signing, hosting, and intimation to the beneficiary.


There are 3 types of parties involved in eBG as below - 


Applicant/Debtor: party on whose behalf the bank issues the guarantee. In case of a default by the Applicant, the Bank makes the specified payment 


Beneficiary: the party who receives the guarantee from the Issuing Bank in case the applicant defaults on the arrangement - need not necessarily sign the document; however, details are required to be captured in the NeSL journey. 


Issuing Bank/Creditor: Bank issues a guarantee to the beneficiary, after performing the due diligence and accepts the responsibility on behalf of the applicant. In case of a default, the Issuing Bank takes the necessary and specified steps.


What is eBG parties?

According to market practice, in the majority of eBG cases, the Debtor and Beneficiary don’t sign. But NeSL makes it mandatory for the sender to add both Debtor and Beneficiary information.

We are introducing eBG parties in the eBG flow to address this issue statement. eBG parties would allow the sender to pass information of those parties who are not NeSL signers but are to be included in eBG issuance.

How to activate NeSL e-BG on Leegality’s Dashboard?

To activate NeSL eBG on the dashboard, existing Leegality users may reach out to your designated account manager to activate eBG functionality from the back end or write to support@leegality.com.


Admin users will be able to see the active profiles once valid configurations are added in the Admin Panel from the back end.
