Re: [LIS-Forum] Quotation process (Mrs. Kuberkar)
by d kuberkar 18 Dec '08

18 Dec '08

Dear Friends, Quotation for Books is not so good idea. GOC mentions as follows : Amendment to rules 99 and 116 of the General Financial rules, 1963 (Third edition) exclusion of books, publications and periodicals, etc. from the definition of Stores. THE MINISTRY OF FINANCE VIDE THEIR O.M. NO. F.23(7). EII (A)/83 DATED 7.2.1984 MADE CHANGES IN THE GENERAL FINANCIAL RULES WHICH DISPENSE WITH THE NECESSITY OF CALLING FOR TENDERS OR QUOTATIONS IN RESPECT OF PURCHASE OF BOOKS, PERIODICALS, ETC. All though quotations are not necessary, some follow the practice. My personal view is : it consumes more time in procuring procedure and also it is unfair with suppliers. The first supplier who brings a particular book on approval, should be given the order. If you get quotations for the same , some other supplier who quotes better is given the order. This definitely affects the business relation.
