Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The contract valuation for the Junior Research Fellow (JRF) engagement at HSFC Authority must align with DST/MoE fellowship norms, treated as a service contract. An Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2% of the estimated value is mandated under GFR 2017 Rule 170 to ensure bidder seriousness, though MSMEs may be exempted. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) of 3-5% of the contract value is required upon award to secure performance obligations. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM to promote transparency. Liquidated Damages (LD) are strictly capped at 0.5% of the contract value per week of delay, with a maximum ceiling of 10% of the total contract value. These parameters ensure financial discipline, mitigate risk, and protect the procuring entity against non-performance, while maintaining compliance with the General Financial Rules 2017 and CVC guidelines for public procurement.

The contract shall be governed by the General Conditions of Contract (GCC) of the HSFC Authority. Disputes arising shall be settled through arbitration under the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue in the jurisdiction of the HSFC headquarters.

An Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to ensure transparency, anti-corruption compliance, and ethical conduct throughout the project lifecycle, strictly adhering to the CVC guidelines for public procurement integrity.
