Guidelines of the Department of Disinvestment

(Refer Clause1.2.1)

No. 3/9/2016-DoD-II-B
Government of India
Department of Investment & Public Asset Management Block 14, CGO Complex
New Delhi.

Dated: 28th September, 2017

OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Sub: Guidelines for qualification of Bidders seeking to acquire stakes in Public Sector
Enterprises through the process of disinvestment
Government has examined the issue of framing comprehensive and transparent guidelines
defining the criteria for bidders interested in PSE-disinvestment so that the parties selected
through competitive bidding could inspire public confidence. Earlier, criteria like net worth,
experience etc. used to be prescribed.
Based on experience and in consultation with concerned departments, Government has decided
to prescribe the following additional criteria for the qualification/ disqualification of the parties
seeking to acquire stakes in public sector enterprises through disinvestment:
I. In regard to matters other than the security and integrity of the country, any conviction by a
Court of Law or indictment/ adverse order by a regulatory authority that casts a doubt on the
ability of the bidder to manage the public sector unit when it is disinvested, or which relates
to a grave offence would constitute disqualification. ‘Grave Offence’ is defined to be of such
a nature that it outrages the moral sense of the community. The decision in regard to the
nature of the offence would be taken on case-to-case basis after considering the facts of the
case and relevant legal principles, by the Government of India. ‘Grave Offence’ would
include the below noted cases:
(i) Only those orders of SEBI are to be treated as coming under the category of ‘Grave
Offences’ which directly relate to ‘Fraud’ as defined in the SEBI Act and / or regulations.
(ii) Only those orders of SEBI that cast a doubt on the ability of the bidder to manage the
public-sector unit, when it is disinvested, are to be treated as adverse.
(iii) Any conviction by Court of Law.
(iv) In cases in which SEBI also passes a prosecution order, disqualification ofthe bidder
should arise only on conviction by the Court of Law.

Redevelopment Project of New Delhi Railway Station on EPC mode Page 50 of 60

Volume – I: Request for Proposal Appendix - IA : Annex - VI – Guidelines of Department of Disinvestment
II. In regard to matters relating to the security and integrity of the country, any charge-sheet by
an agency of the Government/ conviction by a Court of Law for an offence committed by
the bidding party or its Associate Company as defined in Companies Act, 2013 would result
in disqualification. The decision in regard to the relationship inter se between the concerns
would be taken based on the relevant facts and after examining whether the two concerns are
substantially controlled by the same person/ persons.
III. In both (I) and (II), disqualification shall continue for a period that Government deems
appropriate.
IV. Any bidder, which is disqualified from participating in the disinvestment process, would not
be allowed to remain associated with it or get associated merely because it has preferred an
appeal against the order, based on which it has been disqualified. The mere pendency of
appeal will have no effect on the disqualification.
V. The disqualification criteria would come into effect immediately and would apply to all
bidders for various disinvestment transactions, which have not been completed as yet.
VI. Before disqualifying a bidder, a Show Cause Notice why it should not be disqualified would
be issued to it and it would be given an opportunity to explain its position.
VII. These criteria will be prescribed in the advertisements seeking Expression of Interest (EOI)
from the interested parties. The interested parties would be required to provide the
information on the above criteria, along with their Expressions of Interest (EOI). The Bidders
shall be required to provide with their EOI an undertaking to the effect that no investigation
by a regulatory authority, which if decided against the bidder, may disqualify the bidder in
terms of (I) & (II) above or the eligibility criteria prescribed in the EoI, is pending against
them. In case any investigation is pending in case which if decided against the bidder, may
disqualify the bidder in terms of (I) & (II) above on the eligibility criteria prescribed in the
EoI against the bidder or the concern in which the bidder has substantial interest or against its
CEO or any of its Directors/Managers, full details of such investigation including the name
of the investigating agency, the charge/ offence for which the investigation has been launched,
name and designation of persons against whom the investigation has been launched and other
relevant information should be disclosed, to the satisfaction of the Government. For other
criteria also, a similar undertaking shall be filed along with EOI.
