Click for ACS 11 (introduction of APG)

 PG & APG in Works - Simple calculation 

95 is the safety line; below it APG joins

Example: Advertised Tender value = Rs. 100

Successful Bidder’s offer is	PG	APG	Total PG
Rs. 95 & above	5 %	Nil	5 %
Below Rs. 95	5 %	5 %	10 %

Authority: New Para 16 (4) (h) of Part II of IR Standard GCC - General Conditions of Contract for Works April 2022 Edition vide ACS 11 vide Railway Board Letter dated 13.03.2026

PG stands for Performance Guarantee & APG stands for Additional Performance Guarantee

PG & APG are calculated on the Original Contract Value (Accepted Bid Value), not on Advertised Tender Value.

95 or above → Only PG (5%)

Below 95 → PG (5%) + APG (5%)
