F= Index number of wholesale prices – by groups and sub-groups for "fuel, power, light &
lubricants" as published in the R.B.I. Bulletin based on the average price index of three
months of the quarter under consideration
The total price variation will be the summation component of Ms, Mc and Mo.
Note: The index number for the base period will be the index number as obtained for the month of
opening of the tender or the month in which final negotiations are held. The quarter will
commence from the month following the month of opening of the tender or month in which
negotiations are held, if any.
The adjustment for variation in prices if required shall be made once in every quarter in the on
account bills. If more than one on account bill is made to the contractor in a quarter, the
adjustment, if required, shall be made in each bill.
The demands for escalation of the cost will be allowed on the basis of provisional indices made
available by the Reserve Bank of India. Any adjustment need to be done based on the finally
published indices will be made as and when they become available.
Page- 50
For the work executed in a particular quarter, the measurement will be recorded in the last week
of last month of the quarter, if not paid already in the preceding weeks or months. If the price
variation is downward and recoverable from the contractor, the variation amount will be adjusted
in the on account/final bill on hand and if the recovery can not be fully effected it will be
recovered from subsequent bills in respect of the same work or any other sum due to the
contractor.
