[C. Compensation Delay upto one fourth period of the prescribed time span - 2.5% of the
payable by work remained unexecuted.
the contractor Delay exceeding one fourth period but not exceeding half of the
for delay prescribed time span. - 5% of the work remained unexecuted.
attributable to Delay exceeding half of the prescribed but not exceeding three fourth of
contractor at the time span. - 7.5% of the work remained unexecuted.
the stage of : Delay exceeding three fourth of the prescribed time span.-10% of the
work remained unexecuted.
Note : In case delayed period over a particular span is split up and is jointly attributable to Government and
contractor, the competent authority may reduce the compensation in proportion of delay attributable to
Government over entire delayed period over that span after clubbing up the split delays attributable to Government
and this reduced compensation would be applicable over the entire delayed period without paying any escalation.
Following illustrations is given:
(i) First time span is of 6 months, delay is of 30 days which is split over as under:-
5 days (attributable to government) + 5 days (attributable to contractor) + 5 days (attributable to
government) + 5 days (attributable to contractor) + 5 days (attributable to government) + 5 days (attributable to
contractor)
Total delay is thus clubbed to 15 days (attributable to government and 15 days (attributable to
contractor).
Total normal compensation of 30 days as per clause 2 of agreement is 2.5% which can be reduced as
2.5* 15/30=1.25% over 30 days without any escalation by competent authority.]
Note : The compensation, levied as above, shall be recoverable from the Running Account Bill to be paid
immediately after the concerned time span. Total compensation for delays shall not exceed 10 percent of the total
value of the work.
The contractor shall, further, be bound to carry out the work in accordance with the date and quantity
entered in the progress statement attached to the tender.
In case the delay in execution of work is attributable to the contractor, the spanwise compensation, as
laid down in this clause shall be mandatory. However, in case the slow progress in one time span is covered up
within original stipulated period, then the amount of such compensation levied earlier shall be refunded. The Price
escalation, if any, admissible under clause 45 of Conditions of Contract would be admissible only on such rates
and cost of work, as would be admissible if work would have been carried out in that particular time span. The
Engineer-in-charge shall review the progress achieved in every time span, and grant stagewise extension in case of
slow progress with compensation, if the delay is attributable to contractor, otherwise without compensation.
However, if for any special job, a time schedule has been submitted by the Contractor before execution
of the agreement, and it is entered in agreement as well as same has been accepted by the Engineer-in-charge, the
Contractor shall complete the work within the said time schedule. In the event of the Contractor failing to comply
with this conditions, he shall be liable to pay compensation as prescribed in forgoing paragraph of this clause
provided that the entire amount of compensation to be levied under the provisions of this Clause shall not exceed
10% of the value of the contract. While granting extension in time attributable to the Government, reasons shall be
recorded for each delay.

[Clause 2A: Incentive for early completion: In the event that the Project (cost more than Rs. 50 crore)
Completion Date occurs prior to the Scheduled Completion Date (after taking into account any time extension
approved by the competent authority for delays not attributable to the contractor), the Contractor shall be entitled
to receive a payment of incentive equivalent to 0.03% (zero point zero three percent) of the Contract Price for each
day by which the Project Completion Date precedes the Scheduled Completion Date, but subject to a maximum of
3% (three per cent of the Contract Price). Provided, however, that the payment of incentive, if any, shall be made
only after the issue of the Completion Certificate.
Note: Contract Price for calculation of above incentive means Original Cost of Work, plus cost of
Additional and Extra items, if any, but excluding price variations/ escalations granted, if any.]
