Signals — patterns worth a closer look, not findings of wrongdoing

  • attention Paid 226% of contract value inferred
    Gross payments ₹3,492,610 exceed the contract value ₹1,542,177 by more than GST would explain (work-order values are often quoted excluding 12–18% GST). Variations, work slips, escalation, further work orders under the same job or a longer service period can explain the rest. [source] [source]
  • notice Activity spans 19 months vs 8-month stipulated period inferred
    From 2025-01-31 to 2026-09-17 (last payment) against a stipulated 240 days. Late final payments also stretch this span. [source] [source]
  • notice Identical Agreement / Completion Certificate / Job Certificate / Work Order attached to another job number confirmed
    The same file (md5 f9ffafdb21…; Agreement, Completion Certificate, Job Certificate, Work Order) is attached to bills of 5 works: 151-16-000001, 151-20-000029, 151-22-000005, 151-22-000006. Could be one contract booked under two job numbers, or a wrong upload — worth checking. [source]

  • info Awarded -43% below estimate inferred
    Very low bids can strain execution or lead to variations later. [source] [source]
  • info Fine / penalty deducted from a bill confirmed
    IFMS deductions: fine ₹28,700. Penalties usually relate to delay or quality; their reason is not in the public record. [source] [source]
  • info Near-identical work under another number (151-22-000005) inferred
    Descriptions are 84% similar. Could be a recurring annual work, a re-tender, a split of one work, or a duplicate entry.
