The Association proudly announces the implementation of the following important exemptions/ concessions/guidelines for the benefits of consultants and consulting firms:
The Association had received several complaints from the members about late payment of GST by various Project Implementation Units of NHAI. The Association through its Chairman had tried to resolve the matter through talks and discussion with various Regional Officers but most of the Officers had failed to comply the provision of NHAI Policy Circular no. 3.3.18/2017 dated 14-11-2017 and NHAI/F&A/GST/2018-19/SM(Vol.-III), dated 22-09-2022 wherein it is specifically provided to release payment of GST along with payment of Invoices and the proof of deposition of GT may be verified while making payment of next bill. The association under compelling circumstances has requested the Chairman , NHAI vide letter No.1002 dated 15.01.2024 .to kindly instruct the paying authorities to comply the provision of Policy Circulars and save the consultants from incurring losses on account of payment of penalty and interest charges without any defaults on their parts. We are hopeful that the Chairman, NHAI will provide early solution to the consultancy firms from incurring losses on account of delayed release of payment of GST
