Commercial Account Determination Essentials

Summary

To determine if an account is commercial, consider the nature of transactions, purpose, ownership, and documentation. For running accounts, look at continuous transactions, mutual open accounts, balance carry forward, and no settled balance. Case laws like M.S.A. (P) Ltd. V. Smt. S. Lakshmi and Hindustan Steel Ltd. V. Dilip Construction Co. Provide guidance. Stages of filing a tender include notification, download/collection, preparation, submission, opening, evaluation, and award. In tenders, the security deposit is paid by the bidder, and a performance security deposit ensures contract fulfillment.
