Per GFR 2017, an EMD of 2% of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bidder seriousness, though MSMEs are exempted under Rule 170. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3% to 5% of the total contract value is required to secure performance obligations. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, but if offline, must be non-refundable. The Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is strictly capped at 0.5% per week of delay, with a maximum ceiling of 10% of the contract value. This structure ensures financial protection for IIPA while maintaining competitive participation. All payments are subject to statutory deductions, including TDS and GST, ensuring compliance with the financial regulations governing autonomous bodies under the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions.

An Integrity Pact may be mandated for high-value contracts to ensure transparency and prevent corrupt practices. All service providers must strictly adhere to the minimum wage act and ensure timely disbursement of salaries to deployed personnel.
