in case the bank, while issuing guarantee asks the client to deposit some money as a counter security, the same is called margin money.
Let us take an example where a bank stipulates in the limit sanction letter that BG for Rs. 10000 shall be issued against margin of 25% by way of fixed deposit. Then client has to make deposit of Rs. 2500 and afterwards bank shall take risk of issuing BG of Rs 10000.
