How the EPBG calculation works

EPBG is a percentage of the contract value, and the bank charges a commission on that amount for the period the BG stays alive.

1

EPBG amount

Contract value × EPBG %

Example: ₹10,00,000 × 3% = ₹30,000

2

Annual commission

EPBG amount × Bank rate %

Example: ₹30,000 × 1.5% = ₹450 / yr

3

Total commission

Annual commission × (months ÷ 12)

Example: ₹450 × (14 / 12) = ₹525

4

Effective cost

Total commission ÷ Contract value

Example: ₹525 ÷ ₹10,00,000 = 0.05%
