26 April 2012 EMD - Earnest Money Deposit.

It is a kind of deposit that is collected in a contract from the contractee for duly performance of contract.

You can replace contract with agreement or any similar terms.

Suppose, If Government announces road project and thereby asking for Tender.On announcement of tender with any party, Government ask for EMD for its specific perfornamce.

It depends upon the agreement and nature of transaction. They may take EMD depend upon the business norms.
