(i) If the rate(s)/price(s) for extra items occurring in a particular schedule of quantities are available in other schedule of quantities forming part of the Contract, the lowest of such rate(s)/price(s) will be used, subject to the nature of work being comparable.

(ii) If the rate(s) cannot be derived as per (i) above, then

(a) In case of contracts with only one Schedule of Quantities forming the part of the Contract, the rate(s)/price(s) for the extra item(s) shall be derived from the lowest of any similar item(s)in that Schedule.

(b) In case of contracts with two or more Schedules of Quantities forming a part of the contract, the rates for the Extra Item(s) will be derived from the nearest similar item appearing in the Schedule in which the extra item is to be executed failing which from any other Schedule in which nearest similar item is available, the rate so derived being the lowest of such derived from nearest similar items in those other Schedules and used.

45.4.2 If the rate for any additional, altered or substituted item of work cannot be determined in the manner specified in GCC Sub-Clause 45.4.1 (i) & (ii) above, the Contractor shall, within fourteen (14) days of the date of receipt of the order to carry out the said Work, inform the Engineer-in-Charge under advice to the Employer of the rate which he proposes to claim for such item(s) of Work on Market Rate(s) basis, supported by analysis of the rate claimed and relevant documents to substantiate the same. While working out the rates on the basis of market rate, 10% (Ten percent) of the rate to cover all overheads and profits of the Contractor shall be considered The Engineer-in-Charge shall, within seventy (70) days thereafter, after giving due consideration to the rate(s) claimed by the Contractor, determine the rate(s), in consultation with the Contractor, on Market Rate(s) basis. In the event of disagreement between the Engineer-in-Charge and Contractor, even after the said seventy (70) days from the date of submission of claims of the rate(s) by the Contractor, the Engineer-in-Charge within a further period of twenty-one (21) days thereafter shall fix the rate(s)/price(s) as are, in his opinion appropriate. The rate(s) /price(s) so fixed shall be notified to the Contractor and shall be final and binding.

45.4.3 If the Engineer-in-Charge fails to determine and notify the rate(s)/price(s) even after expiry of the said twenty-one (21) days, then the Contractor will be at liberty to refer the matter for resolution to the Employer within a further period of fourteen (14) days after the above said twenty-one (21) days. If the Employer does not determine and cause the Engineer-in- Charge to notify the rate(s)/price(s), then the matter would be determined in accordance with the provisions of GCC Clause entitled “Settlement of Disputes”. However, in the

meanwhile, the Engineer-in-Charge will pay for the extra items of Work, at 75% (seventy-five percent) of the rate(s)/price(s) claimed by the Contractor with supporting documents or at Contract Rate, whichever is less, purely on adhoc and provisional basis subject to adjustment.

45.4.4 In the event of the Contractor failing to inform the Engineer-in-Charge within the stipulated period of fourteen (14) days time the rate(s) which he proposes to claim, supported by relevant documents to substantiate the same, the rate(s) for such item(s) shall then be determined by the Engineer-in-Charge in consultation with the Contractor (if he so desires) on the basis of Market Rate(s) within seventy (70) days thereafter. The rate(s) /price(s) so determined shall be notified to the Contractor and shall be final and binding.

45.6 Provisional payments

Cement will be issued on weighment basis. The modus operandi to be adopted shall be as appended below (as applicable).

A) CEMENT ISSUED IN JUTE BAGS a) In case where it is not possible to weigh truck load of cement at site. To arrive at average weight of each consignment, 10% sample weighment of cement bags at the time of issue from the stores shall be done in platform weighing machines, half the sample bags may be selected by the contractor and the other half by Owner. The average weight of the whole consignment including sample bags shall be deemed to have net weight of 50 kg of Cement per bag, when the average weight (including the weight of bag) is within 49.5 Kg and 51.5 Kg including both limits. In case the average weight is “less than 49.5 Kg or more than 51.5 Kg: the bags will be deemed to have an average weight for the whole consignment (including sample bags) as per table given below:

Avera ge sample weight of bags Range in Kgs Average weight per bag Issued total weight including weight of cement bag (excluding weight of bags) (200 bag lot) (taken as 500 gms) 49.9 Kg or 51.3 Kg 49.5 Kg to 51.5 Kgs 50 Kgs 10,000 Kgs 49.2 Kg Less than 49.7 Kgs* 9,940 Kgs 49.5 Kgs 51.8 Kg More than 51.5 Kgs 50.3 Kgs** 10,060 Kgs * (49.5 - 49.2 = 0.3) ** (51.8 – 51.5 = 0.3) (50.0 – 0.3 = 49.7) (50.0 + 0.3 = 50.3) b) In case when it is possible to weigh a full truck load of cement at site The theoretical weight of the consignment shall be arrived at by multiplying the total no of bags in the truck load with the notional weight of 50 Kg of cement per bag. The weight of the empty truck as well as the weight of the empty cement bags (taking weight of the empty cement bag as 0.5 Kg per bag) shall be deducted from the weight of the truck load as measured to arrive at the actual weight of the consignment. If the difference between the actual weight and the theoretical weight is within ± 2% (two percent) of the theoretical weight, then the theoretical weight shall be taken as the issued weight for the entire truck load . If the variation from the theoretical weight is more than ± 2% of the theoretical weight, then issued weight of the entire truck load shall be taken as the (i) theoretical weight plus the difference in excess of (+) 2% two percent) variation (for cases where the actual weight is more than the theoretical weight) and (ii) theoretical weight minus the difference in excess of the (-) 2% (two percent) variation (for cases where the actual weight is less than the theoretical weights). An illustrative example is given below: Say the trucks carry 200 bags each. Truck Wt of one truck load less Less wei ght Net weight Theoretical Difference Difference Weight to be No weight of empty truck of cement of the weight of as actual between % taken as bag @ 0.5 cement cement in and the of the issued Kg/bag (Actual) 200 bags theoretical theoretical 1. 10,080 Kg 100 Kg 9,980 Kg 10,000 Kg (-)20 Kg (-)0 .2% 10,000 Kg 2. 9,840 Kg 100 Kg 9,740 Kg 10,000 Kg (-)260 Kg (-) 2.6% *9,940 Kg* 3. 10,360 Kg 100 Kg 10,260 Kg 10,000 Kg (+)260 Kg (+) 2.6% 10,060 Kg** Total weight, issued for 3 trucks load in Kgs 30,000

(a) In case where it is not possible to weigh truck load of cement at site : To arrive at average weight of each consignment, 10% sample weighment of cement bags at the time of issue from the stores shall be done in platform weighing machines, half the sample bags may be selected by the Contractor and the other half by Owner. The average weight arrived for one bag shall be multiplied by total nos. of bags of the consignment minus weight of cement HDPE bags (Considering weight of each HDPE bag as 0.07 kg). (b) In cases where it is possible to weigh a full truck load of cement at site : To arrive at actual weight of the consignment, the weight of the empty truck as well as the weight of the empty cement bags (taking weight of the empty cement bag as 0.07 kg per bag) shall be deducted from the weight of the truck load as determined, (c) Cement issued from SILOS Cement will be issued on actual weighment basis. 10.2.3.3 In cases where cement is not required to be used by the weight, the same shall be issued in bags on a nominal net weight of 50 kg of cement in each bag. 10.2.3.4 Reinforcement Steel (Mild Steel and High yield strength deformed TMT bars) Reinforcement Steel shall be issued to the Contractor from the project stores on the basis of approved bar bending schedule / construction allowing for wastage as specified elsewhere in this document. The reinforcement steel shall be issued to the Contractor on the basis of weight, such weights being calculated on the following basis: (i) All issues of reinforcement steel & MS rods for earthing mat & rungs shall be made in terms of actual weighment done. (ii) In case of underweight or overweight of sections arising due to mode of issue and mode of measurement/payment, nothing shall be payable to the contractor for the difference of weight between the weight taken for measurements/payments as per mode of measurements and weight as per mode of issue. The contractor should include any such cost in the item while quoting the rates. (iii) The actual weighment shall be done on weighing equipment available at the project site or in the event of non-availability of weighing equipment, on the basis of random length/bundle weights as decided by the Engineer-in-charge and jointly recorded properly in a register on day-to-day basis or each indent basis. The reinforcement steel shall be issued to the Contractor in such diameters and lengths, which are presently rolled in the country or as available in project stores. (iv) The issue of reinforcement steel shall be on the actual weighment. However, the theoretical consumption/payable weight will be on the basis of “Sectional Weight” given in IS: 1732. It shall therefore be noted that any variation of actual weight per unit length with respect to the “Sectional Weight” given in IS: 1732, on account of rolling tolerances of steel mills shall not be considered by Owner and the bidder shall take these aspects while quoting the rates of respective items. No claim on reconciliation of issued weight & payable weight on account of the above shall be tenable. 10.2.3.5 Structural Steel Structural Steel shall be issued to the Contractor from the project stores on the basis of approved fabrication drgs/design drgs allowing for wastage as specified elsewhere in this document. The structural steel shall be issued to the Contractor on the basis of weight, such weight being calculated on the following basis:- (i) All issues of structural steel shall be made in terms of actual weighment done. (ii) In case of underweight or overweight of sections arising due to mode of issue and mode of measurement/payment, nothing shall be payable to the contractor for the difference of weight between the weight taken for measurements/payments and weight as per mode of issue. The contractor should include any such cost in the item while quoting the rate. (iii) The actual weighment shall be done on weighing equipment available at the project site or in the event of non-availability of weighing equipment, on the basis of random length/bundle weights as decided by the Engineer-in-Charge and jointly recorded properly in a register on day to day basis or each indent basis.

(iv) The structural steel shall be issued to the Contractor in such sections and lengths, which are presently rolled in the country or as available in project stores. (v) In case of issue of those sections for which unit weight is not given in IS: 808, IS:1730, IS:1732, IS:1161, unit weight as furnished by supplier shall be considered. In absence of any unit weight furnished by the supplier, a representative unit weight shall be found out at site by Engineer-in-charge by selecting a few sections and actually weighing them. (vi) The unsheared/untrimmed plates shall be issued to the Contactor on the basis of actual weight and the calculation of the fabricated weight shall be done by adopting the unit weight for the corresponding thickness of plate as per IS:1730. The Contractor shall cut the maximum rectangular size from the plates as directed by the engineer-in-charge and return the unshared edge cuttings to the stores, on the actual weight basis. On return of edge cutting to the store, the issue weight of the unshared plates shall be reduced by weight of edge cuttings returned. However, no extra charges will be payable for making, cutting, handling, transportation etc. of the unsheared plates and edges. Unsheared edges returned to the store shall not be considered as part of the wastage. During reconciliation, the percentage of wastage in case of unsheared plates, weight shall be calculated on the basis of weight of plates arrived at by deducting the quantity of unsheared edges returned to the store from the issue weight of the unsheared plates. (vii) Stainless steel plates and railway track rails shall be issued to actual weighment basis to contractor in such sections and lengths which are presently rolled in the country or as available in the project stores.

This shall also include the bar bending schedule prepared by the Contractor and approved by the Owner. (b) If as a result of “Stage” or “intermediate” reconciliation, mentioned above it is found that actual consumption (including all wastages/scrap etc) exceeds the theoretical consumption envisaged under the contract, the cost of such materials shall be recovered at rates as specified in the succeeding clause from the Contractor’s progressive bills or recovered otherwise as provided for in the contract. (c) If the free of cost owner issued material has been used in item of work other than or which it is issued, then the cost of such material used shall be recovered at the procurement rates +25% overheads, as applicable at the time of recovery from the Contractor’s progressive bill or recovered otherwise as provided for in the contract. Procurement rate shall mean the total landed cost of the material as arrived at NTPC’s respective project stores. (d) The penal recovery rates for cement, consumption shall be as specified herein or to be calculated on the basis of procurement rate of cement as applicable at the time of recovery. However to work out the penal recovery rate for cement, during the extended period of the contract, the procurement rate of the cement as applicable during the last quarter of the scheduled contract completion period, shall be adopted. Procurement rate shall mean the total landed cost of the material at Owner’s store. (e) The penal recovery rates for reinforcement and the structural steel for consumption exceeding the theoretical consumption envisaged under the contract shall be as specified herein or to be calculated on the basis of procurement rate of reinforcement steel and structural steel as applicable at the time (Month) of joint statement for stage reconciliation. Rate for the purpose of recovery shall be taken as the weighted average procurement rate of all the sections for the actual consumption of material available for the month as per the books of accounts in the respective NTPC project. For sections where procurement rates are not available for the corresponding month, it shall be worked out based on the SAIL prices (Rates as per NTPC MOU with SAIL issued on quarterly basis including all taxes applicable, transportation charges including loading, unloading and stacking and any other charges) published for the month of signing joint reconciliation statement as per the norms considered for arriving the landed cost. 10.2.7.2 Cement consumption (a) The theoretical consumption of cement shall be based on following: (i) For design mix concrete as per approved design mix (ii) For nominal mix concrete work, as per minimum cement as specified or as approved by Engineer-in- charge. (iii) For item of works, where volume mix is permitted in writing by the Owner, for masonary works, plaster and other miscellaneous items, the cement consumption shall be governed by the “Statement of Cement Consumption” attached to “ Delhi Schedule of Rates of CPWD DSR-1997” unless other wise specified in the specifications or the drawings or contract or mutually agreed by Engineer-in-charge and Contractor. (b) (i) Actual consumption = (issue) - (surplus) - (0.75 x sweep cement). Sweep cement is to be returned by weight and is subject to acceptance of its quality by the Engineer-in- charge. (ii) Surplus sealed bags having useable cement to be returned (weight to be calculated considering the procedure adopted at the time of issue). (iii) The quantum of free of cost issued cement and rate for the penal recovery for excess consumption, over and above such free of cost issued quantities shall be worked out on the following basis. (iv) Allowable wastage: Two percent (2%) of theoretical consumption unless specified in the technical specification. The allowable wastage is for overall quantities of Cement and not for individual type of cement.

Sl No Cement Consumption Basis of issue and penal recovery rates C-O Theoretical consumption (with out considering Free any wastage or loss) C-I Actual consumption being limited to plus two Free percent (+2%) of aforesaid theoretical consumption towards allowable wastage C-II Actual consumption beyond 2 % upto and Recovery a t procurement rate as applicable including 5 % of C-O above at the time of recovery plus twenty five percent (25%) C-III Actual consumption beyond 5 % of C -O above Recovery at two (2) times the procurement rate as applicable at the time of recovery.

10.2.7.3 Reinforcement Steel Consumption (a) The theoretical consumption of various sections and/or diameter of reinforcement steel shall be based on approved construction drawings and bar bending schedules. Weights shall be calculated considering the sectional weights as per Indian Standards. No extra cost shall be payable to be Contractor for any deviation in weights for the two different procedures adopted for issue and calculation of the theoretical consumption. MS rods issued for earthing mat & rungs will be accounted under reinforcement steel Consumption. (b) (i) Actual consumption = (issue) – (surplus) (ii) Surplus = Untempered length on actual weighment basis. (iii) Wastage = (Actual consumption) - (Theoretical consumption) Wastage limited to the 3% of the theoretical consumption shall be considered as allowable wastage. The above allowable wastage is for overall quantities and not for individual diameters of reinforcement steel. Wastage is further classified as cut pieces (pieces of length 3 m and above) and scraps (pieces of length less than 3 m) and measured as per actual weighment basis. (iv) The quantum of free of cost issued reinforcement steel and rate of recovery for excess consumption; over and above, such free of cost issued quantities and shall be worked out on the following basis: Sl Reinforcement Steel Consumption Basis of issue and No recovery rates R-O Theoretical consumption (without considering any wastage, scrap or Free loss) R-I Wastage limited to plus three percent (+3%) of aforesaid theoretical Free consumption (R-O) towards allowable wastage (cut-pieces and scrap to be returned to Owner) R-II Wastage beyond 3 % and upto 5 % of R -O above (cut -pieces and scrap Recovery rate as to be returned to Owner) specified vide sub clause 10.2.7.1 (e) above plus twenty five percent (25%) R-III Wastage beyond 5 % of R -O above (cut -pieces and scrap to be Recovery rate at 1.5 returned to Owner) time as specified vide sub clause 10.2.7.1 (e) above.

(v) Entire quantity of wastages as mentioned above shall be returned by the Contractor to the Owner’s store. Credit shall be given to Contractor for the cut-pieces and scrap returned at the following rates: (i) Cut pieces and scrap returned upto 3% of theoretical consumption -- NIL. (ii) Cut pieces and scrap returned beyond 3% of theoretical consumption as follows: For Cut Pieces For Scrap At the procurement rates which At 75% of the procurement rate which was was used for rates effecting used for effecting recovery at R-II above recovery at R-II above

(iii) In case the total wastage ie total cumulative quantities of cut pieces and scarp exceeds 3% of theoretical consumption, then the total quantity of cut pieces and scrap individually will be divided proportionally for wastage upto 3% and beyond 3% in the ratio of 3% of theoretical quantity and actual quantity of wastage. The credit for return of reinforcement steel will be given for the quantity beyond 3% as per the provisions of (i) and (ii) above. The procedure for return of wastage and surplus reinforcement steel shall be as follows: (a) M S bars and High strength bars shall be separately returned to the stores. (b) All bars upto and including 16 mm dia shall be returned in two lots. All bars less than 3m length shall be returned in one lot while bars of length 3.0 m and above shall be returned in another lot. (c) All bars above 16 mm dia shall be returned as follows: (i) All bars less than 3.0 m length in one lot. (ii) All bars of 3.0 m length and above upto and including 5.5 m in second lot. (iii) All bars of length above 5.5 m in third lot (d) All Untempered bars shall be returned in a separate lot. (i) For any material issued by the Owner to the Contractor free of cost, and which is not accounted for by the contractor to the Owner, then the recovery for such material shall be affected at the rates specified under R-III above. (ii) For non-return by the Contractor to the Owner’s store, of any quantity of wastage steel calculated under R-I above, the recovery for such less return of steel shall be affected at the recovery rates specified under R-II above. For non return of wastage steel as per R-II and R-III above, recovery rates specified under R-III shall be applicable. 10.2.7.4 Structural Steel Consumption (i) The Theoretical consumption of the structural steel shall be based on the approved fabrication drawings and based on the mode of measurements as per technical specifications including all authorized deviation and modification by site . The steel used for test plates/pieces shall be considered under theoretical consumption for reconciliation as purpose only. (ii) Approved fabrication drawings shall indicate the exact shape and size of gusset plate sections and the tonnage based on the exact shape only be considered for reconciliation/payment purposes for gusset plate sections. Contractor is to minimize the quantity of off cuts (generated on account of notch/skew cuts) i.e. wastage by optimizing cutting plans in his own interest. However since certain scrap quantity is bound to occur therefore the contractor is allowed an additional wastages, on account of these off cuts to the order of 0.50% of the quantity arrived as per of theoretical consumption, which shall also be returned to NTPC / owner’s stores as part of the wastages. Packing plates shall not be considered for reconciliation / payment unless shown on the approved fabrication drawings since verification of quantity towards the same would be difficult. (iii) The weight will be worked out on the basis of unit weights given in IS: 808 for sections, IS:1161 for pipes, and IS:1730 for plates. In case of those sections for which unit weight is not given in IS: 808, IS:1161 and IS:1730, unit weight as adopted at the time of issue shall be considered for the purpose of calculation of weights. (iv) Wastage is further classified as cut pieces, scrap and Rolling/melting scrap as specified below: (a) Pieces of 3 meters or longer than 3 meters for RSJ’s angles, channels, pipes, MS rods for foundation bolts/structures (like sag rods, lacings, etc) and for plates equal to or more than 1500 sq cm in area with a minimum width of 15 cm shall be termed as cut pieces and stacked separately. The cut pieces of plates returned shall be rectangular in shape . (b) Pieces shorter than 3 metres for RSJ’s, channels, angles, pipes, MS rods for foundations bolts/structures (like sag rods, lacings, etc) and for plates less than 1500 sq cm in area and/or less than 15 cm in width shall be classified as scrap and stacked separately. (c) Rolling/melting scrap; cutting edges/pieces shorter than 100 mm for RSJ’s channels, angles, pipes, MS rod for foundation bolts/structures (like sag, rods, lacings, etc) and for plates less than 40 mm in width. (v) Allowable wastage shall be limited to 3.5% of theoretical consumption for all rolled sections, sheared plates and pipes, MS rods for foundations bolts/structures (like sag rods, lacings, etc) and 4.5% for unsheared plates. Invisible wastage (loss of material due to gas cutting, straightening of edges etc) shall be limited to 0.5 % of theoretical consumption and shall be considered for reconciliation purposes. But it shall be considered as a part of allowable wastage. The above allowable wastage is for overall quantities and not for individual sections of structural steel. (vi) (a) Surplus steel ie untempered steel pieces shall be returned to the Engineer-in-charge at a place directed by him within the project area. The return of surplus untempered pieces by the Contractor shall be on the basis of weight arrived at in the same manner as for the issue of material. (b) The Owner shall take back the cut pieces and scrap mentioned in sub-Para (iv) (a) and (b) respectively. The return of cut pieces mentioned in sub-para (iv) (a) above by the Contractor shall be on the basis of weight arrived at the same manner as for the issue of material normally on the basis of sectional unit weight at the time of issue. The return of scrap mentioned in sub-para (iv) (b) above by the Contractor shall be on the basis of actual weight measured at the Owner’s stores. (c) The Contractor shall also return the rolling/melting scrap to the owner’s store. (vii) (a) Actual consumption = (issue) – ( surplus steel) (b) Surplus steel = untempered steel pieces (c) Wastage = (Actual consumption) – (Theoretical consumption). (d) The quantum of free of cost issued structural steel and rate of recovery for excess consumption over and above such free of cost quantities shall be worked out on the following basis:

Sl Consumption of Structural steel Basis of issue No (Rolled sections, plates etc) recovery rates S-0 Theoretical consumption (without considering any wastage, scrap or loss) Free as per specification and drgs S-I Wastage limited to plus three percent (+3.5%) of the aforesaid theoretical Free consumption (S-0) for all rolled sections & sheared plates and upto plus (+ 4.5%) of S-0 for unsheared plates towards allowable wastage. (All wastage steel quantities except 0.50% of invisible wastage to be returned to Owner) S-II Excess consumption beyond S -I above and upto 6 % of the aforesaid Recovery at rates as theoretical consumption (S-O) for all rolled sections & sheared plates, and specified vide clause upto 8 % of aforesaid theoretical consumption (S-O) for unsheared plates ( 10.2.7.1 (e) above all wastage steel quantities except 0.50% of invisible wastage to be plus twenty five returned to Owner) percent (+25%) S- Excess consumpt ion beyond S -II (All wastage steel quantity to be returned Recovery at 1.5 times III to Owner) the rates as specified vide clause 10.2.7.1 (e) above. (e) Entire quantity of wastage as mentioned above shall be returned by the Contractor to the Owner’s store except the invisible wastage limited to 0.5% of theoretical consumption as mentioned above for Structural Steel only. The credit for return of such steel shall be given as mentioned below: (1) For upto 3.5% theoretical consumption for all rolled sections, MS rods for foundations bolts/structures (like sag rods, lacings etc), chequered plates, and sheared plates - NIL. (2) For upto 4.5% of theoretical consumption for unsheared plates - NIL (3) Cut pieces and scrap returned beyond 3.5% for rolled sections, MS rods for foundations bolts/structures (like sag rods, lacings etc) chequered plates & sheared plates. (a) For cut pieces- At the average procurement rates which was used for effecting recovery in S-II above. (b) For scrap- At 75% of the average procurement rates which was used for effecting recovery in S-II above. (4) Cut pieces and scrap returned beyond 4.5% for unsheared plates- (a) For cut pieces- At the average procurement rates which was used for effecting recovery as mentioned in S-II above. (b) For scrap- At 75% of the average procurement rates which was used for effecting recovery as mentioned in S-II above. (5) For rolling and melting scrap-NIL (6) In case the total wastage, ie total cumulative quantity of cut-pieces and scrap exceeds 3.5% of theoretical consumption for all rolled sections MS rods for foundation bolts/structures, chequered plates and sheared plates ( 4.5% in case of unsheared plates), in such a case the total quantity of cut-pieces and the scrap individually will be divided proportionally for wastage upto 3.5% (4.5% in case of unsheared plates) and beyond 3.5% (4.5% i n case of unsheared plates) in the ratio of 3.5% (4.5% in case of unsheared plates) of theoretical quantity and actual quantity of wastage. The above is explained as per illustration below:

Illustration: (Table 1) Assume; 1 Total quantity issued 27200 MT 2 Un -tampered (Surplus) steel returned 200 MT 3 Steel used as test pieces plates 10 MT 4 Consumption as per fabrication drawings/BOM 25390 MT 5 Cut piece returned 500 MT 6 Scrap retu rned 1000 MT 7 Rolling / melting scrap returned 10 MT

Now the accounting is done as detailed below (Table 2) i Actual consumption as per drawings and all modifications etc (1 - 2 above) = 27000 MT 27200-200 ii Theoretical consumption 25400 MT (3 + 4 above) = 10 MT + 25390 MT iii Wastage : Actual consumption – Theoretical consumption (i – ii above) = 27000 MT 1600 MT – 25400 MT iv Steel returned as wastage 1510 MT (5+6+7 above) = 500 MT + 1000 MT + 10 MT v Allowable Wastage i.e. 3.5% of Theoretical c onsumption ii above = 3.5% x 25400 889 MT MT vi Wastage beyond Allowable Wastage of 3.5% of Theoretical consumption and up to 635 MT 6% of Theoretical consumption ii above = 6% x 25400 – 889 vii Therefore, ratio of wastage within 3.5% 0.555 625 = (889/1600) viii The ratio of wastage beyond 3.5% & up to 6% = (635/1600) 0.396875 ix Wastage beyond 6% (1600 -889 -635) = 76 MT and the ratio = 76/1600 MT 0.047500 x Invisible wastage or loss due to oxidation @ 0.5% of Theoretical consumption (ii x 127 MT 0.5%) above xi Total minimum quantity of wastage to be returned to the owner excluding the 1473 MT quantity of wastage towards rolling/melting scrap = iii-x above (166-127) xii Actual invisible wastage = iii -iv above (1600 -1510) 90 MT

Thus, following shall be considered for reconciliation purpose(s)

(Table 3) Sl Wastage Qty. Wastage within / up to Wastage beyond Wastage Return of No category 3.5% 3.5% & up to 6% beyond wastages . 6% 1 Wastages a Scrap 1000 555.6250 396.8750 47.5000 To be b Cut pieces 500 277.8125 198.4375 23.7500 returned to SUB -TOTAL 1 1500 833.4375 595.3125 71.2500 the owner 2 Invisible Wastage (Actual) = 90 MT + 10 MT (i.e. incldg. 10 MT of rolling & melting) a Scrap 60 33.3375 23.8125 2.85 b Cut pieces 30 16.66875 11.90625 1.425 c Rolling & 10 5.55625 3.96875 0.475 melting SUB -TOTAL 2 100 55.5625 39.6875 4.75 3 TOTAL 1600 889 635 76

The credit for return for above steel will be given for the quantities beyond 3.5% (4.5% in case of un-sheared plates) only as per provisions of clause 10.2.7.4(e) (3) & (4) above. Now the reconciliation shall be done as per illustration given below:
