A bank guarantee is a commitment by a bank to pay a beneficiary on behalf of a customer who is unable to fulfill a payment obligation.  The bank acts as a guarantor, and is responsible for the customer if they are unable to make the payment. Bank guarantees can be performance guarantees (PG) or financial guarantees (FG).   All bank guarantees have an expiry period and expiry date. As per RBI guidelines, Bank guarantees should generally not extend beyond 10 years. However, banks can issue guarantees for longer periods if they consider the impact on their Asset Liability Management.  Ghosh Committee Recommendations on BG: Â
