4.6.3        In case, other than the lowest tender is accepted, a confidential record should be kept of the reasons with reference to the financial solvency, income tax paid, the ability of the contractor to execute works, the security offered by him the names of works executed by the contractor concerned with performance.  The relative merits of the various contracts concerned should be discussed and cogent reasons should be given.  The confidential record should be shown to the audit party during inspection of the office.  IN addition, he should make a report of al such cases to the higher authority.

(G. O. ms. NO. 773, PWD, Dt: 5.6.1971 & para 156 of D Code is amended)

4.6.4        Where it is proposed to accept a tender other than the lowest, the authority competent to accept the tender should immediately, after accepting it, make a report to the next higher authority.  Who shall scrutinize the report carefully and call for more details, if necessary.  The Superintending Engineers and the Executive Engineers as the case may be, should bring to the notice of the higher authorities, cases in which the rule about the acceptance of the lowest tender is however left entirely to the discretion of Agreement accepting authority and no tenderer can demand the cause of rejection of his offer.

(G. O. Ms. NO. 2561, PWD, Dt: 24.11.1966, para 156 of APWD Code)

4.6.5      General Principles for accepting the Tenders:-

  1. Cases of impossible and absurd rates may be rejected: but the accepting authority should place on record a few cases atleast of rates which are considered unworkable based on current rates of labour and materials and show that they are unworkable.
  1. The mere fact that the lowest tenderer has already on hand other works in the Division is not itself a sufficient reason for rejection. Specific Data should be placed on record with a view to establish beyond all reasonable doubt that the tenderer would in fact be unable to execute the work rapidly and satisfactorily (e.g) that the works so far set apart that it would be impossible for him to adequately supervise them all, or that the works although individually within the financial capacity of the tenderer will collectively beyond the means of the tenderer to execute at the same time.
  1. There is no objection to allow the tenderer to sign the specifications of document and give the work to him in case the tender is other wise acceptable as non-signing of a specification/document should not be sole reason for rejection of the tender.
  2. If the names of the tenderers are found to be removed from the contractor’s list, their tenders should be rejected.
  1. The fact that the lowest tenderer is a new man is not by itself a sufficient reason for the rejection of his tender.   In such case, enquiries should be made as to his financial status and capability.  If it is found that the tender is suitable, his tender should not be rejected.

(Memo. NO. 1237-AC/35, C.P., Dt: 19.6.1935 of CE, PWD, (GI, R&B, Madras))

Tenders received after the time should not be taken into consideration for comparison of tenders.

(G. O. Ms. No.85, Dt: 20.03.1993)

Revision of the Estimate after tender call with a view to bring down the tender percentage is irregular.  If there is need for revision of the Estimate, it should be done before tenders are called for.

(Govt. Memo. No. 164/72-4, PWD, Dt: 13.3.1972)

The powers of accepting tenders upto the permissible limits above the rates in the sanctioned Estimates should be used cautiously and only after making sure that the acceptance of such tenders is unavoidable, when the competition is low and even only one tender is received.

(Govt. Memo. No. 1348/Y/68-4, Dt: 24.11.1970)

If a tenderer wishes to introduce any conditions to be specified in the tender documents the tebderer must furnish the tender schedules and conditions in separate sealed covers indicating clearly on the top on the covers, what the cover contains, so as to enable the officers receiving the tenders to open the sealed covers containing conditions first.  In the sealed cover containing conditions, the tenderer must invariably give definite financial effects of each of the conditions.  Alternatively the tenderer may quote his rates on the basis that no conditions other than those specified in the tender notice would be accepted and indicate in a separate sealed cover the rates he would be officer if the department is prepared to accept any one or more conditions to be specified therein.  In the absence of such clarifications or such financial assessment, the tender will be deemed to be incomplete and is liable to be rejected.

In some cases tenderers other than the lowest withdraw some of the conditions and agree to offer a rebate over the rates quoted by the lowest tenderer after the tenders are opened with a view to tenders, it must be discouraged.

(Govt. Memo. No 347/72-10, Dt: 25.09.1972 and No. 105 Codn/M3-6, Dt:16.8.73)

ABSTRACT

Buildings –Private buildings occupied by Government Departments – Modification and rationalization of present system of selection and fixation of rent for the private building taken on lease by the Government Departments – Orders – issued.

——————————————————————————————————-

  1. O. Ms. No. 35 Dt: 27.2.1977

Read the following:

  1. G. O. Ms. No. 601, GA (Accommodation) dept., Dt: 29.8.79.
  2. Govt. Memo. No. 791/accon. A2/82-a, GA 9Accon.A) Dept., Dt: 30.9.82.

O R D E R:

Government have issued instructions from time to time about the procedure and norms for taking private buildings on lease by Government Departments and fixation of rent thereof.  But it is noticed that rent fixation in practice has become quite cumbersome and leading to wasteful expenditure.

  1. A General Perusal of the rent statistics of the Government buildings taken on lease give the impression that our present method of fixing rent is not a satisfactory one (which take in to account the cost of land, cost of building and age of the building only). Lot of subjective factors are entering into the calculation giving rise to very wise distortion in the figure.  Apart from it, the rent being fixed now is not based on any element which is sensitive to the market situation.  Rent of buildings in the market is decided more by supply and demand situation and usually the market forces have kept the rent at lower level than what the return on investment in a building would demand.  But in our exist of calculation which is return – oriented based on investment, the Government is not taking advantage of the market forces at work.  Finally there are also instances where the luxurious taste of some of the head of the offices, is making the Government to pay higher rent when a posh accommodation is being selected much beyond the functional necessity of the office.  Such posh houses being of very high cost ultimately result in much large outgo towards rent.
  1. Keeping view the above situation, it has been decided to modify and rationalize the present system of selection and rent fixation for the private buildings taken on leave by the Government Departments as indicated hereunder.
  1. For fixing maximum ceiling of rent, it is decided to have 6 tie classification of places in the state as follows:
  1. Corporations of Hyderabad & Secunderabd.
  2. Corporations of Vizag & Vijayawada.
  3. All other corporations and spl. Grade and Selection Grade municipalities.
  4. All Grade –I Municipalities.
  5. All other municipalities and mandal Head Quarters.
  6. All other rural areas.
  1. For the above categories of towns and other places, the Government hereby fix the maximum ceiling of rent for each of these six categories as follows:
  1. Corporations of Hyderabad & Secunderabad upto Rs 5/- per Sft.
  2. Corporations of Vizag & Vijayawada upto Rs. 3.50 per Sft.
  3. All other corporations and special grade & selection Grade Municipalities upto 2.75 per Sft.
  4. All grade-I Municipalities Upto 2.25 Per Sft.
  5. All other municipalities upto 1.50 per Sft.
  6. All other rural areas upto Rs. 1.25 per Sft.
  1. The above amount would be payable only for net usable areas which cannot be more than net carpet area plus 10%.
  1. The requirement of the building by any office is to be advertised in the District edition of local news paper like Eenadu etc., indicating requirement of space which will be decided as per the R&B norms.
  1. In response to the above advertisement, Building owner having vacant space have to quote a specific lease rent per month they want as rent.
  1. A team consisting of the Head of the office in need of the building space and local EE/Dy. EE/SE of R&B Department will check the suitability of the building starting from the lowest officer. If due to any reason to be recorded in writing the lowest officer’s building is not suitable, the second lowest offirer’s premises will be inspected and evaluated for selection.
  1. Once the building is selected accepting the rent within the maximum ceiling indicated in para 3.2 above, it can have an escalation factor of 5% for block of every two years thereafter.
  1. The above order is issued in supercession of all orders in existence on selection of private buildings and fixation of rent thereof taken on lease for the purpose of any Government office.

ORDER:

In the GO first read above instructions were issued that arrear claims relating to Government employees may continue to be sanctioned in terms of Government orders already issued in the matter in consultation with the finance Department and in all such cases, the Department should take action for fixing the responsibility for the administrative delay and also take suitable action against the person held responsible, under intimation to Government in Finance Department.

  1. Orders were also issued that since it is possible to verify the arrear claims with reference to the office copy of the pay bill and TA bills which are preserved as per the orders issued in G. O. Ms. No. 489, Finance (FR) Department, dt: 16.11.1962 and Art. 326 of the AP financial Code vol.I (pay bills for 35 years and Ta Bills for 3 years) and Drawing Officer/Head of the Department, should preserve all the records relating to any particular Government Servant till his claim is finally settled and also take personal responsibility for the correctness of the claim on the basis of the records available with him.
  1. The records in the possession of Audit i.e., Pay & Accounts Officer/Accountant General, AP are preserved only for a period of six years and hence claims which relate to period over six years cannot be verified with reference to these records. Therefore a system of adhoc sanction was introduced as per Art. 55 of AP Financial Code.

Vol-I in the light of some glaring discrepancies found in such old claims, Government have reviewed the existing procedure with regard to arrear claims, which fallin any one of the following two categories, namely:-

  1. Claims which relate to a period of less than six years when they are preferred and.
  2. Claims which relate to a period more than six years.
  1. In regard to the category of claims in item(a) above, as per the present procedure, the Accountant General, Andhra Pradesh/ Pay & Accounts Officer, Hyderabad are being authorized to pre-audit the claim and on its being found to be correct in audit, it is passed for payment. In regard to the category of claims in item(b) Adhoc Sanction is being accorded by Government, for passing the claims on the responsibility of the Drawing Officer as to its accuracy, because the claims are not suspectable for verification in Audit due to limited period of preservation of records.
  1. In respect of claims within six years, the Accountant General informed the Government that checking the claims with original vouchers is becoming difficult due to several factors and consequently the check is confined to entries in the service books received with the claims. Pending issue of instructions, with reference to the above observation of the Accountant General arrears relating to a period of less than six years should continue to be dealt with as per the existing procedures.
  1. The claims which have arisen from a date more than six years before the date of deduction, sanction is being accorded at present by Government passing the claims on the responsibility of the Drawing Officer, in terms of Art 55 of APFC Vol-I, as the claims are not suscepecible for verification in audit due to the limited period of preservation of records.   But the system of according Adhoc Sanction does not provide for basis on which Adhoc Sanction is to be given by the Government since there are no records or other informations available at Government Level to verify these claims, before according Adhoc Sanction.   In order to make the system of Adhoc Sanction more effective and to reduce the possibility wrong claims, it has been decided to delegated the powers to the Heads of Departments to Adhoc Sanction for arrear claims over six years. Keeping this in view, the following instructions are issued to deal with the cases of time-barred arrear claims of more that six years Old prior to the date of presentation.
  1. The arrear claims which are more than six years old should be prepared in two bills, the first, relating to a period of six years and the second relating to a period of less than six years.   The Drawing Officer should follow all the instructions in regard to the preparation and certification of the arrear claim.
  2. The arrear claims for a period of less than six years shall, be sent after sanction, for pre-audit by Pay & Accounts Officer/Accountant General, Andhra Pradesh as the case may be.   Those claims may be admitted after pe-audit as at present.

iii.        The arrear claims for periods beyond six years on the date of presentation shall be sent to the Heads of Departments for issue of Adhoc Sanction. After the issue of Adhoc Sanction by Head of Department, the Pay & Accounts Officer, Hyderabad District, Treasury Officer shall scrutinize the claims before admitting for payment by exercising the following checks at their level namesly:-

  1. Correctness of the Fixation statement on which the arrear claim is based should be verified with reference to the records necessary for such verification.
  2. Due, and drawn statement should be verified with reference to the entries of pay available in the service register of the individual taking into account the corresponding rates of DA etc., admissible as on those dates.
  3. Arrear claims should be supported by an indemnity Bond executed by the Claimant agreeing to refund any excess of double or wrong payments:
  4. A certificate in clear terms should be obtained from the Drawing Officer that the claim has not been drawn previously and that the correctness of the records being maintained in the office of the drawing officer: and
  5. After the payment is authorized by the District Treasury Officer/ Pay & Accounts Officer, Hyderabad in respect of arrear claims, an entry to this effect should be recorded in the Service Register of the individual and attested by the District Treasury Officer/ Pay & Accounts Officer, Hyderabad.
  6. Government also direct that in the Districts all arrear claims though presented either at the sub-treasury of at the District Treasury, the bills shall be passed for payment only by the District Treasury Officer after Scrutiny in his office, but payment can be made in the sub-treasury where the bill has been presented.

Sub:     Procurement of Materials – RWS sector – Certain instructions –Issued.

 

Ref:-1) Govt. Memo. No. 50668/Estt-I(1)/93-26, Dt: 22.1.1997 communicated with T/o Endt. No. C6/17635/93, Dt: 1.2.1997.

* * *

In the reference 1st cited, Government imposed ban on purchase of cement and steel in PR Department.  Thus the cost of cement and steel shall be included in the finished items so that the contractors themselves shall procure them like other materials by quoting the rates accordingly.

Even though, there is a ban on procurement of Steel & Cement by the Department, some instances have come to notice about buying Steel & Cement by Superintending Engineers and Executive Engineers violating the prohibitive orders.  On these grounds one or two Executive Engineers have already been kept under suspension.

All the Superintending Engineers and Executive Engineers of PR Department are informed that stringent action will be taken if any Superintending Engineer/Executive Engineer procures the Cement and Steel in future.

Instances have also bee notices that Superintending Engineers/Executive Engineers are procuring several items under T&P such as concrete mixers, vibrators etc.  The procurement of such items under T&P is also prohibited.  There is no need to procure such item as the contractors are expected to have these equipment and these charges are provided in the approval estimates and contracts.

There is now separate RWS wing from Chief Engineer, to AEE level.  The TWS wing procure materials required for hand pumps & RWS schemes.  The purchase of these materials is governed by rate contracts.  There are some important items to be procured in the execution of PWS schemes which are not governed by Rate contracts namely centrifugal Pumps, turbine Pumps chlorinators, and some mechanical equipment filters, GI Specials, toolkits (not covered in RC) for hand pumps etc.  All such items which are not governed by Rate Contracts shall be procured by Superintending Engineers/Executive Engineers on the basis of open tender system following the stores rules in AP financial code Vol-I and not be sealed  quotations system.  The tenders for these non RC item shall be invited by Superintending Engineer for specific quantity and for supply within definite time schedule.  These rates shall not be operated as running rate contracts.  The rates approved by one Superintending Engineer for specific quantity in his circle should not be operated by others.  Similarly the rates previously approved by same Superintending Engineer or other Superintending Engineers also should not be operated.  Serious action will be taken against officers violating the above procedure.

In respect of materials governed by the rate contracts instructions have been issued in the reference 2nd cited delegating  powers to the Superintending Engineers, Executive Engineers and Dy. Executive Engineers.   In view of total re-organization of RWS wing with 12 Superintending Engineers, and 44 Executive Engineers for implementation of Water Supply Programme, it is now felt that there is not need to continue the Dy. Executive Engineers as indenting officers for the procurement of materials.

Therefore, the indenting powers of Dy. Executive Engineers delegated in the reference 2nd cited are hereby withdrawn and those powers are also vested with Executive Engineers concerned.  The Superintending Engineers and Executive Engineers may place purchase orders as per powers vested above and as given in reference 2nd cited by following all the relevant guide lines issued for making timely purchase of materials well in advance even without establishing the suitable source, and civil structures are entrusted or come to the respectable stage of the implementation.  The Executive Engineers are vested with powers to procure those materials governed by rate contracts only.  Executive Engineers shall immediately send a copy of that order along with check slip communicated in the reference 2nd cited to the concerned Executive Engineer, QC/Hyd/VJA, SE (RWS)/CE (RWS) and Engineer-in-Chief(PR), Hyderabad.

The Superintending Engineers, RWS shall send a copy of the purchase order placed by them for materials covered by Rate contracts along with check slip communicated in the reference 2nd cited to the Engineer –in-chief, (PR) and the Chief Engineer, RWS.  Executive Engineers (QC), Hyderabad/ Vijayawada.  The Superintending Engineers RWS shall also send copies of all the purchase orders which they have placed for the procurement of material not governed by the Rate Contract to the Engineer-in-chief, (PR) and Chief Engineer, RWS along with the check slip enclosed herewith.

All the Superintending Engineers and Executive Engineers are informed that any violation of these instructions will be viewed seriously and disciplinary action will be initiated against the defaulters.

The receipt of this circular Memo shall be acknowledged in the first instance.

(AUTHORITY: ENC circular Memo BWP 411108/8, Dt: 28.8.1996)

27.1.1    Each MP will give a choice of works to the concerned head of the district who will get them implemented by following the established procedures, that is, he may be guided by the procedure laid down by the State Government subject to these Guide lines.  In regard to works in urban areas their implementation can be done through commission /Chief Executive Officers of Corporation, Municipalities etc., or through the Heads of District concerned as per the option of the MPs.  Implementation agencies can be either Government of Panchayat Raj Institutions or any other reputed non-governmental organization who may be considered by the district head as capable of implementing the works satisfactorily.  Engagement of private contractors is prohibited,  Wherever extent guidelines do not permit such engagements.   For purpose of execution of works through public works Department(PWD, wings not necessarily exclusively dealing with civil construction, but having competence in civil construction can be engaged like for example, public health engineering, rural housing Department/wings. Housing Boards, Electricity Boards, Urban Development Authorities etc.  the head of the district shall identify the agency through which a particular work recommended by the MP should be executed.

27.1.2    The works under the schemes shall be development in nature based on locally-felt needs. The emphasis is on creation of durable assets.  Funds provided under the Schemes should not be used for incurring revenue expenditure.  However, the funds can be used for purposes such as provision of service support facilities.  However they will not include any recurring expenditure like on staff to maintain such facilities.

27.1.3    It will also be appropriate if the scheme funds are used for partly meeting the cost of a larger work like for example for partly meeting the cost of a micro/hydel work only in case if would result in completion of the works.  Where such part costs are met under this para, it should be with reference to clearly identifiable part of the work.

27.1.4    Sometimes execution of work, by their very nature, may span into more than one year.  IN such circumstances, funds under the scheme could be made available to the executing agency either in advance or over more than one year, phasing of execution of work being clearly kept in view.

27.1.5    The site selected for execution of the work by the MP shall not be changed except with the concurrence of the MP himself.

27.1.6    It should not be insisted that the land selected for execution of works should necessarily be Government land.  It can be land surrendered by Municipal /Panchayat bodies, private trusts, private individuals etc.  the only care that needs to be taken is that the institution or the person surrendering the land has the title over it to so surrender.  And the district authorities should ensure that within the quickest possible time. The surrendered/transferred land is relinquished under the local land relinquishment laws.  Locally recognized practises such as surrender of lands as per “No objection Certificates” may also be considered adequate so long as they are legally valid and the assets created on the land shall be available for public use for which they were created.

27.1.7    An illustrative list of works that may be taken up under the scheme is presented in Appendix-I.  A list of works which shall not be allowed under the scheme is  presented in Appendix-II.

27.1.8    Payment of advances of any type to the contractors/ suppliers under any work falling within this scheme is prohibited.

27.1.9    The heads of the districts should ensure that provision for maintenance and upkeep of the works to be taken up under this scheme is forthcoming from the concerned local body or the relevant agency that is, Government-aided institution, registered society etc.

27.2 SANCTION AND EXEUCTION OF WORKS 

27.2.1    In identifying and selecting works and giving administrative sanction for the same, the head of the district should invariably go the concurrence of the Member of Parliament, Normally, the advice of the MP should prevail unless it be for technical reasons such as land selected for work not being suitable for execution etc., Where the head of the district considers that a work suggested by a Member of Parliament cannot be executed, he should send a comprehensive report with reasons to the MP under intimation to the Department of the State Government dealing with the subject and to the Department of programme implementation, Government of India.

27.2.2    As far as possible, all sanctions for works should be accorded within 45 days from the date of receipt of proposal from the concerned MP.

27.2.3    So far as technical and administrative sanctions concerned, decision making should be only at the district level.  IF need be for the purpose of implementation of this scheme, full and final powers should be delegated to the District technical and administrative functionaries.

27.2.4    In case, a constituency falls in more than one district, the Head of the district who receives the money released by the Government of India shall make the required funds available to the other concerned districts(s) in keeping with MP’s choice so that the Head(s) of such other district(s) could implement the works suggested by the MP in his/her district(s).

27.2.5    The implementing agencies may not collect any administrative charges, centage etc., for their services of preparatory work implementation, supervision etc.

27.2.6    The normal financial and audit procedures would apply to all actions taken under this scheme to these guidelines, especially relating to administrative and technical sanction.

27.2.7    Where there is a change in the MP, for whatever reason it may be, the following principles should be followed, as far as possible in executing works.

  1. IF the work identified by the predecessor MP is under execution, it should be completed.
  2. If the work identified y the predecessor MP is pending sanction due to administrative reasons beyond a period of 45 days from the ate on which advice was received for taking up the work, it should also be executed provided the work is other wise as per norms.
  3. If the predecessor MP had identified the work, but it was not taken up for execution because of reasons other than those mentioned in the preceding sub-para, it can be executed subject to the confirmation of the successor MP.

Engagement of private contractors on nominations or other basis cannot be restored to.

27.3 RELEASE OF FUNDS 

27.3.1    Ideally it would be desirable to the MPs to suggest individual works costing not more than Rs. 10.00 lakhs per work.  However, the limit of Rs, 10.00 lakhs per work should not be too rigidly constructed.  Amounts higher than Rs. 10.00 lakhs per work can be spent depending upon the nature of the work.  (For example a single check dam to provide minor irrigation or water supply of a sports stadium may cost more than Rs. 10.00 lakhs.  In the case of such works more than Rs. 10.00 lakhs can be legitimately spent).

27.3.2    The funds released by the Government of India under the scheme are non-lapsable.  IN other words, funds would be available in the budget to the extent of rupees one crore per year per Member of Parliament and works will not suffer for want of provisions.

27.3.3    For example, if out of Rs. 1 corre allotted for a Constituency ina year, Rs. 75 lakhs are spent, the balance of Rs. 25 lakhs can be carried over for the year when this amount together with fresh allocation of Rs. 1 crore (total of Rs. 1.25 crore) would be the entitlement of the year and could be spent.

27.3.4    Funds for individual works should be promptly released.  75% of the cost of the works can be released in the first installment it self, the balance of 25% being released watching progress.  To the maximum extent possible, release of funds should be arranged through the administrative authority available nearest to the worksopt – like for example a Block Development Officer.  The objective should be that release of funds also is made through decentralized administrative mechanisms already available on the ground and that implementing agencies have the quickest feasible access to such decentraised authorized.

27.4 GENERAL 

27.4.1    In order that local people become aware that particular works have been executed with MPLADS funds, signboards carrying he inscription “MPLADS WORK” may be prominently erected at the sites.

APPENDIX – II 

IMPORTANT FEATURES ON EXTENSION OF TIME 

Section of 55 of Indian Contract Act reads thus:

When a party to a contract promises to de a certain thing at or before specified time or times, and fails to do any such thing at or before the specified time in the contract(or so much of it as has been performed) becomes voidable at the option of the promise, if the intention of the parties was that time should be the essence of contract.

If it was not the intention of the parties that time should be the essence of the contract, the contract does not become viodable by the filure to do such things at or before the specified time, but the promise is entitled to compensation from the promissory for any loss occasioned to him by such failure.

The remedies and legal effects mentioned in Sec. 55 are as follows:

  1. If time is the essence of contract:
1. On failure to perform at or before specified time The contract (or so much of it as is not performed) becomes voidable at the at the option of the promise This is the commentary given by Sri. Noshirvan H. Jhabvala in his book “The Indian Act 22nd edition page 169.

 

2. On failure to perform at or before the specified time and acceptance by the promise of performance at any time other than agreed time. The promise cannot claim compensation for any loss occasioned by the non-performance at the time agreed upon unless he gives notice.
  1. If time is not the essence of contract.

            On failure to perform at the specified time the contract does not become voidable but the promise is entitled to compensation.

If in the case of contract voidable on account of promissor’s failure to perform his promise at the time agreed and promise accepted performance of such promise at any time other than that time agree, the promise cannot claim compensation for any loss occasioned by the non-performance of the promise at the time agreed unless at the time of such acceptance he gives notice to the promissory of his intention to do so.

Presumably the clause 60 (b) of PS to APSS might have been constructed on the basis of the above referred sections of contract Act.

Para 93 of chapter VI of “Law relating to buildings & Engineering Contracts in India by G. Gajria (Eidition 3) read thus:

“In cases where time has not been made as the essence of the contract, or where, although time originally was the essence of the contract, the time so fixed for completion has ceased to be applicable by reason of waiver or otherwise, the employer has still a right by notice to fix a reasonable time for the completion of the work, and, in case the contractor does  not complete by that time, to dismiss the contractor.  Where the time is not defined, and there by any unnecessary delay by one party, the other has a right to limit the time.  Time will be the essence of the contract expressly so makes it or if there are clauses showing that the parties intended it to be of the essence, or if after delay be one of the parties, the other gives a notice making time as the essence.  The right to serve a notice making time as the essence applies either where time was not originally the essence the time for completion has by waiver or Agreement ceased to apply.  IN such case the employer may serve a notice on the contractor fixing reasonable time for completion, and can dismiss the contractor if he fails to complete by that time.”

The Chief Engineer, Major Irrigation and General in his Circular Memo OT/5/S(8)/27766/75, Dt: 29.2.1977 clarified that the clause 60(b) concerns with the cases where delay is caused by the contractor, ie.e, the Executive Engineer has got the option to permit the contractor to proceed with the work which in keeping with section 55 of contract Act according to which the unperformed party.  The contract becomes viodable at the option of the promise (EE).  In other words the promissor (Contractor) has on option.  IF the Promioor (Contractro) proceeds with works, it is at his risk.  Even after the permission to the contractor to proceed with the work, the performance is not satisfactory, Executive Engineer is constrained to cancel the contract by giving him a notice as contemplated in the section 55 of the contract Act.  It is there presumed that the issue of notice may have the effect of extending the Agreement period upto the date mentioned  in the notice.

APPENDIX – III

ACCOUNT IN P.R. DEPARTMENT

There is a little difference in writing up of the accounts in the PR Engineering Divisions as compared to that in PW Engineering Divisions.  The difference is discussed below.

In the Government Accounts Treasury is the primary fiscal unit.  PW Division is not fiscal unit in PWD.  The accounts are maintained for the cheques drawn from Treasury.

The cheques issued by the Treasury and the Revenue received by the Treasury are credited and debited respectively to the Head “8075 Reserve Bank Deposits” which denote the balances of the Government.  The transactions are in keeping  principle that cash account should be debited when cash is received and vice-versa.

Now let us see how the transaction relating collection of “Seigniorage Charges” is written up in PW Divisions and Treasury (Amount Rs. 1.00 lakh)

(A) RECEIPTS IN TREASURY  

CHARGES

 

Seigniorage Charges 100000 0853 Mineral Cess Cash Balance 1.00 lakh 8075 R.B.D

 

(B) (i) IN PW DIVISION  

CHARGES

 

Seigniorage Charges 100000 0853 Mineral Cess Remittance in the Treasury 1.00 lakh 8782 I-remittance

As could be seen from the above, in PW Division, while the final receipt head can be operated, the corresponding “Cash balance Increase” Classifiable under “8075 – RBD” is not reflected in Divisional Accounts, as “8075 – RBD” can be operated only in Treasury.  The challan remitted in Treasury is written in the Treasury Accounts as shown under.

B(ii) R Treasury Account P
Amount Classification Amount Classification
I-Remittances 100000 8782 I-Remittances Cash balance Increased 1.00 lakh 8075 RBD

Thus, the amounts booked under “8782 I – remittances are paired off.   The consolidation of the accounts at B(i) & B (ii) shall be the result of the account at A.

Now let us go to PR Accounts, the funds received by the PR Institutions (Local bodies) are credited to “8448 Deposits of Local Fund.”  This Head is to local bodies as “8075 Reserve bank Deposits” is to Government.  Funds received by PR institutions are taken to the Cash Book to the final receipt head and debited to final charges head viz “8448 DOLF” (Cash Balance Increase) similar to “8075 RBD” in Government Accounts.  It can therefore be seen that there is no intermediary head similar to the “8782 I-remittance” in PR Accounts. The head “8448 – DOLF” therefore denotes the cash balance of the bodies lying in Treasury.

The cash book maintained in PW Divisions does not have the “Bank or Treasury” column on receipt side.  But in the Cash Book maintained in PR Engineering Division “Bank or Treasury column” Exists.  The reasons is obvious.  In the later case the “Bank of Treasury columns” is intended for being posted of the moneys received and intended to be remitted into Treasury to the credit of “8448 DOLF”.

For example the following transactions are exhibited in PR Division cash book as below.

EXAMPLE

  1. Receipt of Mineral Cess Grant of Rs. 5.00 lakhs.
  2. Salary Bill Rs. 5000/- with a GPF subscription of Rs. 400/-.
  3. Payment of work bill of Rs. 2.00 lakhs (Gross) with recovery of Rs. 4000/- towards income tax.
R P
Cash Bank Classification Cash Bank or Treasury Classification
Opening Balance 2.00 lakhs 8448 DOLF (003) EF Salary Bill 400 4600 Salary
Mineral Cess Grant 5.00 lakhs Mineral Cess Grant Work Bill 4000 196000 Relevant Head
GPF 400 Liabilities Closing Balance 499400 8448 DOLF (003) EF.  This amount requires to be recovered with Plus and Minus Memorandum of Treasury
Income Tax 4000 Liabilities
TOTAL: 4400 7.00 lakhs 4400 700000

The Meshing of the Columns “Bank or Treasury” on both receipt and Payments sides constitute the “Plus and Minus Memorandum” (under 8448 DOLF) of Treasury with which departmental figures have to be reconciled.

The amount recovered from the work Bills under (b) recoveries shall naturally be posted in the “Cash” columns on both sides.

IF for any reason the Opening Balance and Closing Balance in the Cash Book under “Bank or Treasury Column” are not available it is not desirable to hold up the preparation of monthly/Annual Accounts.  In that case the cheques drawn and remittances into Treasury should be taken on receipt side and payment side respectively to secure agreement between “Receipts” and “Charges” of Account.

The comes classification of receipt of Charges.

There is no approved structure of classification.  Yet the receipts & Charges have to be classified according to the “purposes”.  It may therefore appear convenient to adopt the same Nomenclature classification as given in the sub head under which the grants-in-aid are released.

The form enclosed may serve as a model.
