Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The contract valuation for the JRF position under the SERB project at NIT must align with DST/SERB guidelines, typically structured as a fixed monthly fellowship plus HRA. As per GFR 2017, while standard procurement involves an EMD of 2 percent, research fellowships often qualify for exemptions under Rule 170 for MSMEs and startups. The Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) is generally set at 3 to 5 percent of the total contract value to ensure service continuity. The tender document fee is waived for registered MSMEs to promote competitive participation. Liquidated Damages (LD) are strictly enforced at 0.5 percent per week of delay, capped at 10 percent of the contract value, to mitigate risks of project timeline slippage. Financial evaluation will prioritize the lowest responsive bidder (L1) while ensuring compliance with the specific budgetary constraints defined by the SERB grant sanction order.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The contract is governed by the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017. Disputes shall be resolved through the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue fixed at the procuring entity's jurisdiction. Billing is milestone-based, linked to the submission of progress reports and SERB project deliverables. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) is applicable to ensure the quality of research output and administrative compliance. An Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to ensure transparency, accountability, and ethical conduct throughout the procurement lifecycle, preventing any form of corruption or influence peddling during the execution of the research fellowship project.
