Successful bidder having net worth more then 500 crores will be required to submit a corporate guarantee for ensuring all necessary support to the new entity in meeting its obligation as described in this RFP document. Successful bidder having net worth less than 500 crores will be required to submit a bank guarantee of INR 100 crores. This will have to be provided within 45 days of a letter of Intent by AIFF.

BFC and Kalyani Bharat owners are Jindals and Baba Kalyani and they definitely have more then 500 crores net worth. So they have no problem. A small fish like Nethaji SC type clubs I dont think are that rich. Even nobody will come with Bank Guarantee clause. One interesting thing is this point that if in 5 years, no stadium is built, then relegation immunity will be withdrawn. I dont think Bengaluru cares about relegation. With their strong team, they would have qualified thru second division also. DSK Pune can start a corporate club if they want. Even Dempo can come back with corporate tag as they are a rich business venture.
If Kalyani club shuts down now, what will be the impact? Is there a clause of withdrawing? I guess they will lose 15 crore bank guarantee then?
BFC don't pay AIFF 3crores each year...they get around this.... They get AIFF to knock off the annual fee by doing "work" for AIFF... ◇BFC won't get any I-League subsidy that other Clubs get ◇BFC probably won't get a cheque for I-League win / runner up or Fed Cup wins...it just get deducted from "monies owed" ◇ BFC have organised India-U23 vs Pakistan U23 games and had to foot the bill for accommodation, food , security, match day organisation etc of the Teams and officials.. ◇ They have done the same for India games at Kanteerava too , where theyvare responsible for pitch preparations and maintenance. ..
BUT ...have no idea what KBFC are doing in this regard !?
DSK meanwhile will host the India training camp & their new grass field will be inaugurated by Cunstantine and his team on the 24th. DSK campus will become a regular venue for team India
Thats why in the budget, there was hardly any mention of amount given for Corporate slots. AIFF is not serious about money then. BFC owes 6 crore rupees to AIFF and the work mentioned which is done by BFC is hardly worth 1 crore rupees. AIFF claims that they do not have adequate funds for Academies, tournaments. But they are not interested in even collecting what they should be getting. I guess Kalyani Bharat also must not have paid 3 crore rupees. Corporate slot becomes Corporate Loot in indian football.
@eastbengalpride Rendezvous Group, owners of Kochi Tuskers, had plans for a direct slot from Hyderabad, but now are looking to play their way up to I-league via the second division. There was news of Viva Kerala looking to return during the I-League, they might be the ones from Kerala but there has been no news since then.
