Approval of the Project Work and the financial support by ONGC (lDT, Dehradun) is for this

pioject and the amount received by llT-Roorkee shall be exclusively spent for the project

woik/activities undertaken in terms of this AGREEMENT and within the approved time

duration. IlT-Roorkee is not permitted to seek or utilize funds from any other organization

(government, semi-government, autonomous and private bodies) for this project approved by

iistitute of Drilling technology, except in cases, where a project is approved for joint funding

with/by trnstitute of Drilling TechnologyIlT-Roorkee will be responsible for expenditure incurred on the project and shall maintain

separate accounts and records for the project to be implemented under this AGREEMENT.

Ail payments will be made by ONGC (lDT, Dehradun) to IlT-Roorkee by Electronic clearing

system (ECSY RTGS/NEFT.IiT-Roorkee is required to inform ONGC (lDT, Dehradun) if they are recognized as a R&D

institute, which is eligible for exemption from Tax Deduction at Source (TDS) and is also

required to produce financial year wise certificates from the competent Tax Authority in this

regard. Normally, TDS rules shatl be applicable in respectof all payments made by Institute

oin1.illing Technology, unless IlT-Roorkee is able to produce in advance applicable Tax

Exernption Certificate towards such receipts, issued by competent Tax Authorities. It will be

the soie responsibility of IlT-Roorkee to inform ONGC (lDT, Dehradun) in advance about

availing of tax Exemption and also to ensure timely submission of Tax Exemption Certificate

to rece."ive full payment of amount of the instalments. In case of delay in submission ofcertificate and consequent delay in release of payments, ONGC (lDT, Dehradun) will not be

responsible for any delay in implementation schedule of the project on account of such delays.

If no prior ,"qu.rt is received, ONGC (lDT, Dehradun),will deduct TDS as per applicable

rates. in case IIT-Roorkee is desirous of receiving the amount of instalment from ONGC (lDT,

Dehradun) without aly TDS deduction and it expects delay in receiving the Tax Exemption

ceftificate from conceined Tax authority, it should provide funds for the project work from its

own resources in the interirn period and ensure that project work is not hampered. In case the

Tax Exemption certificate is not provided by IIT Roorkee their payment shall be

released after deduction of TDS and they shall be liable to provide fund utilisation

certificate for the full amount including the amount of TDS.

IIT-Roorkee will submit the request for release of milestone based payment, in the prescribed

format (Annexure-lV of this AGREEMENT) along with the progress report and the latest

statement of expenditure in the prescribed format including Committed Expenditure, duly

audited by external auditorAll rnilestone based payments will be released by ONGC (lDT, Dehradun) only after the

satisfactory completion of each previous milestone-wise tasks/goals by IlT-Roorkee and their

acceptance by ONCC (lDT, Dehradun). The next milestone based payment will be released

onlyafter receipt of documents on utilization of funds released under previous payment

and other related documents as per prescribed format (Annexure-Vl). In case ofprocurement of equipment for the project, instalment will be paid by ONGC (lDT, Dehradun),

after completion of ull p."-p.o"urement actions, as per laid down procedures of IlT-Roorkee

for such procurement and submission of invoice and sanction order for the purchase ofequipmeni as supporting document for release of instalment. The Pl/institute will submit

details of the item, quantity, price and delivery schedule. Whenever, the delivery period is

over, the PI should confirm receipt of equipment, its commissioning and the extent of payment

(full or paft payment) made. In case, the equipment delivery period, for which instalment has

Any delay in delivery or commissioning ofthe equipment or release of payments for equipment must be explained with fulljustificationwhile making request for next instalment. In all cases, the required financia! documents must

be audited as per clause 6.7 of the AGREEMENT.6.9 On cornpletion of all steps relating to the purchase of capital equipment, the equipment must

be entered into asset register to be maintained by IIT-Roorkee for this project.

6.10 lf a request for release of milestone based instalment is made in second quarter of the financialyear, the PI should enclose the audited statement of the accounts along with the UtilizationCertificate for the previous financial year duly audited by external auditor in the prescribed

format (Annexure-V and VI of this AGREEMENT).6.ll On completion of the Projectand submission of the final reportand other related documents

representative of the University/Head of Institute/Organisation for release of the finalinstalment by ONGC (lDT, Dehradun).

6.12 IIT Roorkee is allowed to utilise funds under different heads of expenditure as

earmarked and detailed in Clause 6.1 above and any cross utilisation of funds from onehead to other should be avoided. In case such cross utilisation is absolutely necessary itshould be done with the approval of the competent authority i.e. Head IDT, ONGC. Anyunspent amount left with IIT-Roorkee will be immediately returned by way of credit throughECS/RTGS/NEFT to the SBI account of tDT - ONGC. IDT Bank Account No.:10392853355 and IFSC CODE: S8IN0001576 payable at Dehradun, but not later than 30
