The 'Preference to Make in India' order provides purchase preference to local suppliers in government procurement. It mandates higher purchase preference percentages and local content requirements as per orders issued by the government. The policy aims to support domestic production, and any procurement order from a nodal ministry will affect the procurement assessment .
The seller/contractor must submit the original GST compliant tax invoice, two copies, a LR/Eway bill/delivery challan, and a receipted LR or material receipt certificate. Additionally, a copy of the material dispatch clearance certificate (MDCC) and test certificates as per SQAP are required .
E-invoicing mandates that taxable persons with a turnover over Rs. 500 Crore generate a valid Unique Invoice Reference Number (IRN) and QR code. These must be placed on the tax invoice to ensure GST ITC claimed by BHEL matches details uploaded on the e-invoicing system. Failure to provide requisite documentation in time can result in financial losses recoverable from the vendor .
In case of discrepancies between quoted tax rates and corresponding rates related to HSN codes, the evaluation considers the quoted price, but the correct tax rate applies for ordering purposes. This avoids financial discrepancies while ensuring adherence to correct legal tax standards .
Liquidated damages for delay in executed work or supply, in case of contract termination, are based on the delay attributable to the contractor. This is calculated by comparing executed value with the total executable value and actual execution timeframe. Damages are limited to the contract value of the executed portion, excluding portions withdrawn from the contract .
Bank guarantees may be required to ensure GST compliance, especially if a vendor does not immediately declare a tax invoice in their return or if receipt confirmations are pending. Such guarantees must be valid at least one month past GST payment confirmation to protect BHEL against risks from GST compliance failures by vendors .
GST amount is recoverable from the seller if GST credit to BHEL is delayed or denied due to non-receipt of goods, improper tax invoicing, or missed timelines for availing ITC, with interest levied on BHEL recoverable from the seller. BHEL requires GST declaration in GSTR-1 and confirmation of GST payment on the portal. If not done, payment linked to the GST portion can be withheld until compliance is ensured .
The statutory variation clause allows for adjustments in CGST/SGST/UGST/IGST if the actual completion of supply occurs within the stipulated period or any extension without penalty. For variations after agreed completion periods, the seller must adjust the basic price to match the purchase order's ex-works with taxes, while the purchaser benefits from any tax reductions. No other variations, such as on custom duty or exchange rate, will be payable by the purchaser .
MSEs benefit from price and purchase preferences in public procurement. They can supply up to 25% if their quote is within L1 + 15% and if L1 is non-MSE. Women and SC/ST owned MSEs have earmarked quotas. MSEs must match the L1 price to benefit and provide UDYAM Certification to claim MSE status advantages .
If a contract involves two or more units/sets/lots, liquidated damages (LD) are applied to the contract value of the delayed unit/set/lot, provided that delivery is stipulated unit/set/lot-wise. However, the total LD amount is limited to 10% of the total order value, excluding taxes, duties, and freight .
