Fee is livable but to advise precisely, need documents and project detail and seller buyer information.

- A standby letter of credit(SBLC) is a legal instrument where a bank guarantees the payment of a specific amount of money to a seller if the buyer defaults on the agreement.

- Further , In order to issue a SBLC , a bank will typically require a pledge of cash as collateral. 

- Further, the bank may charge a service fee of 1% to 10% for each year when the financial instrument remains valid, and if the buyer meets its obligations in the contract before the due date, the bank will terminate the SBLC without a further charge to the buyer.

- You can correspondence with the said bank for the verification of the instrument and to pay any advance fees.

The Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) suggests using electronic verification methods like digitally signed emails, websites, or emails to check for fraudulent documents. Organizations can also create their own procedures that follow the RBI's guidelines

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) recommends that the names, designations, and code numbers of the officers signing the guarantee be included under their signatures

You can contact the bank.

The beneficiary can request confirmation of the guarantee from the issuing bank by email. For example, ICICI Bank recommends emailing [deleted] or ICICI Bank Limited, Trade Finance Operations Group. For Indian Bank guarantees issued by Large Corporate Branches (LCBs), the beneficiary can email [deleted].

An SBLC is considered a secondary type of payment. The bank will only release payment if the buyer defaults and the seller meets the terms of the contract. The bank may provide funding for the SBLC if the client is considered creditworthy. 

SBLCs can involve risks, including foreign exchange risk, penalty risk, and decreased collectibility.

You can choose the lawyer of your choice either one from this website or outside and on the terms of the chosen lawyer you can get all the documents vetted and have an opinion on all such further issues. 

Before making any payment in advance it would be better that you confirm their credentials and genuineness  so that you are not deceived after taking money from you.

MT 799 is a free format SWIFT message type that banks use to securely communicate information about bank guarantees (demand guarantees) and letters of credit (documentary credits). It's an essential part of international trade and allows banks to communicate with each other through the SWIFT system without transferring funds or paying. MT 799 can confirm funds or proof of deposits for a potential trade, or certify financial capability. It demonstrates to the vendor that the buyer has the money available to perform the transaction, and that the payment will come from a verifiable source like a bank. However, in its standard format, MT 799 is not a promise to pay or a form of bank guarantee. 

 However you may proceed in this regard with abundant caution by verifying the details through another reliable source.

For issuing a BG you will have to approach your bank or any other bank 

You will need adequate funds in your account or proof of receivables to enable the bank to issue the BG in favor of the beneficiary 

Upon what conditions you want the bank to issue the BG in favor of the beneficiary would depend on the terms stipulated by you or the beneficiary for accepting the BG

Other things what you wrote in the follow up I cannot understand
