Sub: Appointment of internal Auditor for Branches where construction is going on or

likely to be stated for getting the Bills pre-audited.

The Infrastructure Development Committee at its 24th meeting held on 2nd April, 2018
constituted a Group for following three items placed before it for consideration:

(i) Consideration for standardization of Branch Buildings - Empanelment of Architect/

Designs Procurement Process etc.

(ii) Consideration of payment process in IDC.

(iii) Consideration of proposals of appointment of Architect & Contractor at Branches to

be considered & approved by Chairman, Infrastructure Committee of the
respective Branch.

The Group so constituted by Infrastructure Development Committee while taking up above three
items considered following issues faced in payment process being followed at IDC secretariat:

A. faced in compliances of the terms and conditions of the contracts:

1. Contractor fails to complete the project within time mentioned in the contract.

2. Architect and Branch deviates FROM the work mentioned in the contract and Contractor
executes the same accordingly. This results in extra items, which are many a times not
part of BOQ, hence higher rates become payable. There is always dispute with the rates
of extra work executed by the contractor as rates were not demanded & executed as per
terms and condition of the contract.

3. Payment never been made to the contractor within 21 days of submitting the bill and
related documents as mentioned in the contract. This is because of incorrectness in
billing, ambiguity in billing, inconsistency with measurement sheet, lack of proper
documentation, and delay in clearing of papers at Vice President’s and President’s office.

B. Delay in release of payment against Bills of Contractor/Vendors/Architect

occurs due to non-receipt of following documents:

1. Copy of LOI, Agreement and amendment order (If any) with BOQ of the
contract/vendor/architect.
2. Measurement Sheet and Abstract sheet thoroughly checked, verified and signed by
Architect & PMC.
3. Summary as per BOQ thoroughly checked, verified and signed by PMC.
4. Performance Guarantee on Stamp Paper of requisite value and its renewal (if any).
5. Tax Invoice of the contractor/ vendor/ architect.
6. Invoice and Challan (in case of bill for material supply) of the contractor/ vendor/
architect thoroughly checked, verified and signed by Architect, PMC and Managing
Committee and Infrastructure Committee of the Branch.
7. Copy of approval of Managing Committee and Infrastructure Committee of the Branch
(in case of extra items).
8. Copy of BG for Retention money and renewed BG (If any) of the contractor/ vendor/
architect.

2
 9. Copy of BG for additional performance Security and renewed BG (if any) against low
quoted items of the contractor/ vendor/ architect.
10. Copy of PF, ESIC Challan and Return, Insurance Policy, Labour license of the
contractor/ vendor/ architect.
11. Copy of last VAT and Service Tax Paid. Copy of status of work at site thoroughly
checked, verified and signed by Architect, PMC and Managing Committee and
infrastructure committee of the Branch.
12. Further bills are delayed by non-receipt of clarifications sought by office regarding the
forwarded bills.

C. Delay in processing reimbursement to Branches against bills:

1. Approval of Managing Committee and Infrastructure Committee of the Branch.

2. Supporting Invoice and bills, other supporting documents.
3. Signed approval of authorized signatory.
4. Non-receipt of clarifications sought by office regarding the forwarded bills.

D. Delay in processing Land purchase/construction proposals received from

Branches:

Processing of Land and building proposal are delayed due to non-receipt of all the documents/
checklist/ approvals as required and mentioned in Infrastructural policy.

Sub: Regarding time extension and salary increment given to Civil Engineer working
as professional consultant in IDC Secretariat.

This is in the reference of letter dated 20.03.2019 (F/1) time extension from 01.04.2019 to
31.03.2020 along with 5% increment in monthly emoluments granted to Shri Pradeep Kumar.

In this regard, we may mention as under:

1. Shri Pradeep Kumar (B.tech + M.tech) are working as professional consultants in IDC
Secretariat since past 2 year 6 months.

2. Shri Pradeep Kumar (Employee Code CE – 1) is B.Tech + M.Tech qualified. It is needless

to say that a person having B.Tech degree is eligible straight away to be enrolled in to
PHD with a course work and M.Tech is a higher degree which is much above Post
Graduate Degree.

3. He is providing considerable inputs in various tasks performed at IDC Secretariat, to name

a few, some of major inputs provided by him are as under:

 Technical assessment and checking Bills submitted by Contractors & Architects.

 Technical review of construction proposals received from Branches.
 Technical review conceptual drawings, Sanctioned Drawings, Tender Documents,
BOQ etc.
 Technical support to Branches where construction is going on and coordination
with Branches to resolve the issues.
 Technical Evaluation of Bids/offers received related to construction projects.
 Quality Control of construction works.
 Visiting under construction Building, identifying issues and resolution of same.
 Providing Technical Points in Arbitration Matters.
 Technical evaluation of Project Viability Reports.
 Preparation of Budget.
 Preparation of Agenda and Minutes etc.

7
 4. It is a fact that MBBS, BALLB, B.Arch, B.Tech, CA & CS etc. are professional degree
programs all over India.

It is pertinent to mention here that earlier, Office was granting time extension for six months and
10% increment in monthly emoluments (after completion of 1 year), but in September 2018 time
extension of six months along with 5% increment in monthly emoluments (after completion of
further 1 year) was granted vide letter dated 24.09.2018 (F/2). At that time Ms. Priya Dhamija,
Head – HRD(P) explained that henceforth 5% increment in monthly emoluments will be granted
for time extension of six months. Accordingly on completion of further six months, an Office note
requesting time extension and increment in monthly emoluments was put-up. In response,
HRD(P) vide letter dated 20.03.2019 granted time extension from 01.04.2019 to 31.03.2020
along with 5% increment in monthly emoluments.

Since, the time extension and increment in monthly emoluments granted is neither in line with
the earlier Office practice nor as assured by Ms. Priya Dhamija, Head – HRD(P) hence Shri
Pradeep Kumar & Shri Amit Kaushik took an appointment from Ms. Priya Dhamija, Head – HRD(P)
and discussed the matter with her at New Delhi Office at 3:30 PM on 25.03.2019. After appraising
the matter to her, she informed that since the office has not considered Civil Engineers in the
professional category, only 5% increase in monthly emolument has been granted by Competent
Authority.

It was reminded to her that in the month of September 2018, increment in monthly emolument
was reduced from 10% to 5% over which, she assured that henceforth for 5% increment in
monthly emoluments will be granted for time extension of six months and remaining 5%
increment will be granted while extending the period of engagement for next six months. The
same was also communicated vide letter dated 02.07.2018 (F/3).

Ms. Priya Dhamija, Head – HRD(P) further opined that as approved by Competent Authority the
extension of period of engagement from 01.04.2019 to 31.03.2020 along with 5% increment in
monthly emoluments has been communicated vide letter 23.03.2019.

From the above it is clear that such reduction in increment in monthly emoluments is due to
confusion and considering entitlement of Civil Engineers as Non-Professional. Such thing might
de-motivate the team of Engineers working at IDC secretariat.

It is relevant to mention here that he is one of sincere, honest & hard working Professional and
used to complete/execute the works assigned to him in an entrusted and responsible manner.

In view of above, it is requested to kindly re-consider the percentage of increment in monthly

remuneration given to Shri Pradeep Kumar and provide 10% increment in current monthly
emoluments to keep him motivated.

Considering above points and his performance, 10 % increase in monthly remuneration is

recommended as per current market trend.

Sub: Release of an adhoc amount Rs.140.00 Lakhs (out of Rs.169.85 Lakhs i.e. total value of bills
received from Surat Branch) to Surat Branch.

CA. Jay Chhaira, Chairman of Infrastructure Committee of Surat Branch vide email dated 15.01.2019 (F/1) has
informed that the civil work of Surat ICAI is substantially complete and Branch have to make payments to various
agencies. He further requested to release an adhoc amount of Rs.2.00 Crore to Surat Branch, so that Branch can
keep further construction work smooth and also ensured strict adherence to Infrastructure policy of ICAI by
Branch.

As requested by CA. Jay Chhaira, CCM & Chairman of Infrastructure Committee of Surat Branch, an office note
dated 17.01.2019 (F/2) for release of an adhoc amount of Rs.200.00 Lakhs to Surat Branch was put up to
Competent Authority, whereby Secretary recommended for release of adhoc Rs.150.00 Lakhs to Surat Branch.

Simultaneously, the matter was also included as agenda item in 27th meeting of Infrastructure Development
Committee held on 05.02.2019 at ICAI Bhawan, IP Marg, New Delhi wherein the Committee while considering
the item decided to defer the matter.

Now Branch has forwarded further Bills of various vendors amounting to Rs.1,69,85,394.77 which have been
received at Head Office on 14.02.2019. Summary of received Bills are as under:

14
 S. No. Detail Bill value (in Rs.)
1. RA – 15 & RA – 16 of Civil Contractor i.e. M/s Desai Infrastructure 51,07,115.78
2. Bills for Architectural & PMC Services of Architect i.e. M/s SYM Associates 4,81,000.00
3. RA – 5 for Lift works i.e. M/s Kone Elevators 2,57,000.00

likely to take some time hence in the line with recommendation/approval of CA. Jay Chhaira, Chairman of
Infrastructure Committee of Surat Branch received vide email dated 15.01.2019 for release of an adhoc amount
of Rs.2.00 Crore to Surat Branch, so that Branch can keep further construction work smooth, it is recommended
