Jammu & Kashmir Government has made Online Cash EMD (Earnest Money Deposit) mandatory for works tenders, marking a significant step towards greater transparency, efficiency, and accountability in the procurement process.
With the discontinuation of Bank Guarantees, FDRs, and CDRs as EMD instruments, all eligible bidders are now required to submit EMD through the designated online payment system. The move aims to streamline tendering procedures, reduce paperwork, and promote a fully digital and transparent governance framework.
