About this template

What is this template?

This is a court filing used to register a financial guarantor for bail in an Indian criminal proceeding. It is not a bail bond itself, but rather the application to be accepted as a guarantor. It contains specific sections for disclosing employment provident fund amounts and business rent bill status.

When should you use it?

Use this form when a court has already granted bail to an accused person subject to providing a surety. Use a Bail Bond (Form 45 of CrPC) instead for the actual legal undertaking once this application is approved.
