The validity period of EMD is up to 45 days beyond validity period of tender. Thus if the tender bid is valid for 90 days, the validity period of EMD is 135 days from the date of opening of the bid. Earnest Money Deposit

If the supplier does not agree to extend the bid validity period, his EMD cannot be forfeited. If the supplier refuses the arithmetical correction carried out at the time of evaluation, his EMD is to be forfeited.
