Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for the Junior Research Fellow (JRF) position under ANRF-funded project CUSB-RP-130 necessitates a rigorous financial framework aligned with GFR 2017. Given the nature of research fellowships, the contract valuation is determined by the sanctioned fellowship amount and institutional overheads. An Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2 percent of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bidder seriousness, unless exempted under Rule 170 for MSMEs. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3 to 5 percent of the contract value must be submitted by the successful bidder to safeguard against non-performance. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM to promote competition. Liquidated Damages (LD) are strictly enforced at 0.5 percent per week of delay, capped at 10 percent of the total contract value, ensuring timely project delivery and adherence to the research timeline mandated by the funding agency.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The contract shall be governed by the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with disputes settled through sole arbitration appointed by the Vice-Chancellor of CUSB. Billing will follow a milestone-based approach linked to research progress reports. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months applies to the quality of deliverables. An Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to ensure transparency and prevent corrupt practices. All financial transactions must adhere to the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017, ensuring that the ANRF funding is utilized strictly for the sanctioned research objectives without deviation from the approved project budget.
