21 October 2008 EMD is the refundable amount paid while quoting for a tender. It differs from client to client. If the contract is awarded, this EMD amount can be adjusted against any other security deposits that are to be kept with the client till certain period depending upon the nature of retention money. If the contract is not awarded, the contractor is entitled to get refund of EMD paid alongwith tender but without interest which is normal practice. To cut short cash outflow, the contractor may submit BG instead of cash deposit, if tender terms allow.
