The HDFC Bank, became the first bank in the country to issue an Electronic Bank Guarantee (e-BG).
e-BG was launched in collaboration with the National E-Governance Services Limited (NeSL).
It removes the need for the paper-based time-consuming process.
This often takes 3 to 5 days for complete due to the need for physical pick up from the bank, delivery of courier to the beneficiary, stamping and reverification.
