Standards are made by
14 Techni cal Di vi si on
Councils pertaining to
specific fields. To take
stock of standards
formul ati on acti vi ty,
Division Councils of Civil
Engineering, Chemical,
E l e c t r o - t e c h n i c a l ,
Electronics & Information
Technology, Food and
Agriculture, Mechanical
Engineering, Metallurgical
Engineering, Production
and General Engineering,
Texti l e, Transport
Engineering and Water
Resources departments
met during the year. The meetings of 209 Sectional
Commi ttees, i n addi ti on to l arge number of
Subcommittees and Panels were also held to consider
draft standards and related technical documents in detail.
It is the policy of BIS to formulate standards on emerging
technologies and withdraw obsolete standards.
During 2006-07, BIS formulated 327 (new and revised)
standards, bringing the total number of standards in force
to 18 315 as on 31 March 2007(see Fig. 1).
Important Standards
Some of the important subjects on which new or revised
standards were formulated during the year are listed
below:
IS 15732 (Parts 1, 3 & 4) : 2006 Optics and Photonics
Medical Endoscopes and Endoscopic Devices Indian
Standards on Medical endoscopes and endoscopic
devices have been formulated covering the determination
of field and direction of view and determination of
maximum width of insertion besides covering general
requirements. This standard is inline with the latest
technology of adopting surgery through a hole in place
of open surgery operation. This is important from the
point of view that since surgery is performed through a
hole, and hence consequentially with this, recovery of
the patient is faster as compared to open surgery
operations.
IS 13450 (Part 2/Sec 45) : 2006 Medical Electrical
Equipments Particular Requirements for the Safety
of Mammography X-ray Equipments and
Mammography Stereo Tactic Devices This standard
is on the particular requirements for the safety of
Mammographic X-ray equipments covering general safety
requi rements, el ectri cal safety requi rements and
radiographic safety requirements. With the publication of
this standard the manufacturer of Mammography X-ray
equipments can adopt testing parameters for the safety
of patients and operators while manufacturing.
IS 15687 (Part 1) : 2006 Single Capped Fluorescent
Lamps The lamps covered under this standard are single
capped fluorescent lamps for general lighting purposes
having a single cap, for operation on external circuits with
either an internal or an external means of starting. This
standard covers safety requirements. It also specifies the
method - a manufacturer should use to show compliance
with the requirements of this standard on the basis of whole
production appraisal in association with the test records
on finished products. Besides conserving energy, the
standard would give a boost to Indian manufacturers to
upgrade their product compatible with those manufactured
in developed countries thereby creating an opportunity to
compete in the global market.
IS 15707 : 2006 Testing, Evaluation, Installation and
Maintenance of ac Electricity Meters Code of Practice
The Code of practice would provide guidance to various
service providers in metering industry responsible for
maintaining metrological and functional performance of
ac energy meters throughout the life of the meters covering
testing, calibration, installation and maintenance. Its aim
is also to establish a performance based good meter asset
management plan. It covers type approval, life certification,
verification, sealing and seal management, acceptance,
transportation, storage, installation and commissioning,
maintaining in-service with emphasis on in-service
compliance and meter test station practices. Accuracy of
meters on site conditions has also been covered.
IS 14581 : 2006 Guidelines for Formulation and
Operation of a Suggestion Scheme in an Organization
A Suggestion Scheme is a management encouraged
scheme through which the employees can offer their ideas
voluntarily for rectification of deficiency, improvements
leading to better method of work and/or financial savings,
better work culture and environment. This standard
provides guidelines for the formulation and implementation
of a Suggestion Scheme in an organization. The main
emphasis of the Suggestion Scheme is how to motivate

Standardization in the field of
Natural Gas Pipeline System
BIS formulated 29 standards on
Natural Gas Pipeline System for
transmission of gas covering 14
areas, namely, Line pipe coating
internal/external, Pipeline laying,
Laying of pipeline in crossing,
Cathodic protection of pipeline,
Gas metering system and gas
measuring equipment, Supervisory
Control and Data Acquisition
(SCADA) System (i ncl udi ng
Tel emetry and
Telecommunication), Lines Pipes
for Transportation and Natural
Gas (including Fitting and Valves
for Pipe Line System), Centrifugal
compressors for gas transmission,
Pumps for transportation of LPG
i ncl udi ng pri me mover, Gas
turbi nes, Constructi on and
commissioning of gas dispatch
termi nal , Commi ssi oni ng of
pipelines including swabbing/EGP,
Intelligent pigging of pipelines and
Hot tapping of pipelines. This set
of 29 standards was dedicated to the nation in a
function by Shri Taslimuddin, Hon'ble Union Minister
of State for Agriculture, Consumer Affairs, Food and
Public Distribution on 15 February 2007. In this function
Dr. U. D. Choubey, CMD, GAIL who also graced the
occasion received the set of standards from Shri
Taslimuddin, Hon'ble Union Minister of State for
Agriculture, Consumer Affairs, Food and Public
Distribution. The introduction of these standards would
become especially relevant in the context of de-
regulation of gas supply business with multiple players
in the transmission business and need for a cross-
country National Gas Grid. Safety and environment
parameters have been given paramount importance
whi l e formul ati ng these Indi an Standards for
transmission of gas and therefore would be extremely
helpful in deciding safety parameters and further
improve our environment.
Review and Updating of Standards
Standards are reviewed as considered necessary, but
at least once in five years. During the year 3 848
standards were revi ewed, 3 691standards were
reaffirmed, 211 were taken up for revision and 102 were
withdrawn. In addition, 254 amendments to standards
were published.
Harmonization
In the market scenario, India is facing challenge of
global competition. The only way to sustain in the
global markets is to harmonize Indian Standards, as

concerns such as safety, environmental issues can be
considered/incorporated, while formulating National
Standards. BIS uses International Standards wherever
they exist as a basis for the standards development.
So far BIS has harmonized 4 449 Indian Standards
with International Standards. Considering number of
standards where corresponding ISO/IEC Standards
exist, about 74 percent standards are harmonized.

conducted to disseminate information on standards
available in the specific fields for increased implementation.
These Seminars were conducted in industrial estates,
cl usters where there i s concentrati on of speci fi c
manufacturers about which the information was to be
disseminated. During these Seminars opinion and
suggesti on of stakehol ders were al so taken for
improvement in the existing standards and for identification
of subjects for new standards. Seminars on the following
subjects were conducted:

PRODUCT CERTIFICATION
BIS operates a Product Certification Scheme, which is
governed by the Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 1986
and Rules and Regulations framed thereunder. Presence
of Standard Mark (Popularly known as ISI Mark) on product
indicates conformity to the relevant Indian Standard.
Before granting licence to any manufacturer, BIS
ascertains the availability of required infrastructure and
capability of the manufacturer to produce and test the
product conforming to the relevant Indian Standard on a
continuous basis. Samples are also drawn from the
production line as well as from market and got tested in
independent laboratories to ensure their conformance to
the relevant Indian Standard.
The Certification Scheme is basically voluntary in nature
but for a number of items affecting health and safety of
the consumer and those of mass consumption, it has been
made mandatory by the Government through various
statutory measures such as Preventi on of Food
Adulteration Act, Indian Gas Cylinders Rules besides BIS
Act. Some of the items brought under mandatory
certification on consideration of health and safety are LPG
cylinders, cement, steel tubes, clinical thermometers,
plastic feeding bottle, packaged drinking water, packaged
natural mineral water, etc.
Considerable progress was made in BIS product
certification scheme during 2006-07. During the year
2 468 new licences (excluding hallmarking) were granted.
The number of licences granted by different regions are,
CRO 664, ERO 237, NRO 497, SRO 580, WRO
482, CMD 8. During this period 24 new products were
covered for the first time under the scheme. These
products included Luminaries: Flood Lights; Horizontal

Foreign Manufacturer Certification Scheme
BIS is operating a product certification scheme for foreign
manufacturers. In this scheme, a licence can be granted
for any product against an Indian Standard specifying
product characteristics, which is amenable to certification.
The scheme operates on self-certification basis, whereby
the manufacturer is permitted to apply the Standard Mark
on the product after ascertaining its conformity to the
Indian Standard licenced for. Through its surveillance
operations, the Bureau maintains a close vigil on the
quality of goods certified. BIS has granted licences for
various products such as Cement, Wood products, Plugs
and socket outlets, RCCBs, Self-ballasted lamps for
general purposes, Plastic Feeding Bottle, Clinical
Thermometers, Packaged Drinking water, Packaged
Natural Mineral water, Steel Products, PVC insulated
cables, Wood products, ac static watthour meter in
different countries such as China, Bhutan, Bangladesh,
France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Indonesia, Italy,
Nepal, Poland, Spain, Switzerland, UAE. During the year
8 licences were granted for products such as Cables,
Switches, Plastic Feeding Bottles, ac watthour meters
and Residual Current Operated Circuit Breakers in
countries like Italy, China, Greece, France, Spain and
Thailand taking the number of total licences in operation
under Foreign Manufacturers Scheme to 65.
BIS is also operating a product certification Scheme
for Indian Importers. An importing unit is treated as
an Indian manufacturer and licence granted and

INTERNATIONAL SCHEMES
Conformity Assessment Schemes of IEC
IEC operates mainly 3 world wide conformity assessment
schemes for electrical and electronic products, namely
IECEE-CB, IECQ and IECEx Schemes.
i) IECEE-CB Scheme
BIS has been approved as Issuing and Recognizing NCB
for select categories of products for which it can issue CB
certificates to Indian manufacturers and the approval is
valid up to 2008.
ii) IEC Quality Assessment System for Electronic
Components (IECQ)
Under the system presently operated in India, following
organizations are involved:
a) BIS Acts as National Authorized Institution (NAI)
having overall responsibility of managing the system
in the country and National Standards Organization
(NSO) for formulation of standards.
b) STQC Directorate Acts as National Supervising
Inspectorate (NSI) having responsibility of appraisal
and surveillance.
c) NPL and Regional Laboratories of STQC Act to
provide National Calibration Services (NCS) which
provides calibration support to the system.
Under this system, approvals are granted by NAI to
manufacturers, distributors and laboratories on the basis
of appraisal done by NSI. After the approval is granted,
surveillance visits are also paid to these units by NSI.
Overall system of operation is governed by Indian
National Statement of Surveillance Arrangements which
provides details of functions of each organization involved
and also the system of the approval followed in India.
iii) IEC EX Scheme for Certification to Standards for
Electrical Equipments for Explosive Atmospheres
(IEC EX)
In view of the benefits likely to accrue from the operation
of the IEC Ex Scheme in India, BIS as the National

NEW INITIATIVES TAKEN
Simplification of Procedure for Grant of Licence
Initiative has been taken to reduce the time taken for
grant of licence. One of the major factors which
contributed towards delay in grant of licence was the
time taken in testing of sample. Under the new
simplified procedure, this has been addressed and
licence is being granted based on samples got tested
by applicants from BIS approved labs. This has
significantly reduced the time period from 4 months to
1 month. An alternate option has also been provided
to the applicants to get the pre-requisite for grant of
licence verified by a Chartered Engineer in place of
visit by a BIS officer. However, subsequently, visits by
BIS officers would continue to ensure continuance
and maintenance of manufacturing and testing
infrastructure. Further, applicants are given an option
to apply either as per Normal Procedure for grant of
licence or as per Simplified Procedure grant of licence.
Hallmarking Scheme of Gold/Silver Jewellery
With the implementation of the simplified and rationalized
scheme for Hallmarking, the Scheme has significantly
grown during the year 2006-07. The number of licences
for Hallmarking of gold jewellery has grown from 1 410 on
1 April 2006 to 3 466 as on 31 March 2007. Similarly
the number of silver licences for Hallmarking of silver
jewellery / artifacts has grown from 23 on 1 April 2006 to
242 as on 31 March 2007.
The average number of licences granted per month before
simplification and rationalization were 16 per month, which
has significantly grown to 189 per month during the period
1April 2006 to 31 March 2007.
94.73 lakh articles of gold jewellery/artifacts have been
hallmarked during the year 2006-07. Average quantity
hallmarked per month has grown to 7.89 lakh/month in
this year from 4.33 lakh/month in the year 2005-06.
Based on the feedback received from stakeholders, the
Scheme has been further modified by making appropriate
changes in the application form and formulating guidelines
for centralized interaction by one Branch Office with the
jewellers having multi chain outlets falling under different
Branch Offices. Further, Jewellers having multi chain
outlets have been permitted 25 percent discount for every
subsequent outlet after the first licence.
The BIS Hallmarking Scheme for gold is a third party
certification scheme in which the licensees can get
their jewellery/artifacts hallmarked by the BIS
recognized Assaying & Hallmarking (A&H) Centres.
Recognition is granted to Centres, on the basis of
compliance to BIS criteria for recognition of A&H
centres which is based on IS/ISO/IEC 17025 'General
requirements for the competence of testing and

calibration laboratories'. During the year, the number
of BIS recognized assaying and hallmarking centres
has grown to 45 from 36.
Implementation of the Scheme for Setting Up of
Gold Assaying / Hallmarking Centres in India with
Central Assistance
For promoting Hallmarking and help it to spread
across the country, a scheme of setting up of Assaying
and Hallmarking centres for gold jewellery in 35 select
districts on a pilot basis with central assistance was
approved by Government under the 10th Five Year
plan in November 2005. The scheme has been
extended to the 11th Five year Plan.
Under the scheme selected applicants would be given
one time financial assistance @ 15 percent of cost of
machinery and equipment subject to maximum of Rs.
15 lakhs per centre for all states, which was further
revised for locations of north-east and special category
states, namely Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh
and Uttaranchal to one time financial assistance @
30 percent of cost of machinery and equipment subject
to maximum of Rs. 30 lakhs per centre.
In response to the advertisements issued during the period,
two centres one each at Visakhapatnam and Jaipur were
recognized by BIS. Based on feedback received centres
at Meerut, Ludhiana, Madurai, Siliguri, Salem, Mysore,
and Mangalore are likely to come up shortly.
Training for Artisans: The training programmes for
artisans with jewellers are being organized with a
view to make them understand the requirements of
hallmarking scheme. During 2006-07, two training
programmes for artisans have been organized, one at
Manipal in January 2007 and the other at Mumbai in
March 2007. These have been organi zed i n
coordination with Indian Institute of Gems & Jewellery,
Mumbai and Mani pal Insti tute of Jewel l ery
Management, Manipal respectively.
Publicity about Hallmarking
To promote hallmarking in the country for effective
consumer protection in gold jewellery trade, 136
awareness programmes were organized during the
year 2006-07 by various Regional and Branch offices
across the country. Some of these programmes were
chaired by the top management of BIS for direct
interaction and taking feedback from the stakeholders.
In addition to the above programmes 290 advertisements
were released in various newspapers across the country
for spreading awareness among the consumers/jewellers
about the benefits of Hallmarking Scheme.

Services which is the first ever
such certificate granted to any
organization in Afghanistan.
Accreditation of BIS Quality Management Systems
Certification Schemes
BIS Quality Management Systems Certification has been
accredited by Raad voor Accreditatie (RvA), Netherlands
for 23 major economic activities. The scheme is regularly
audited by RvA to confirm compliance to the laid down
requirements. RvA had undertaken the surveillance audit
for BIS QMS during the period 1-5 May 2006.
Besides RvA accreditation, BIS QMSCS has also been
accredited by National Accreditation Board for Certification
Bodies (NABCB) of Quality Council of India (QCI) for 9
economic sectors. The accreditation has been effective
from 22 December 2005 and is valid upto 21 December
2008. BIS is further taking up with QCI to include additional
scope sectors in their accreditation certificate. NABCB,
QCI had undertaken first surveillance audit for BIS QMS
during 2006-07.
Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point
Certification (HACCP)
Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) is a
process control system designed to identify and prevent
microbial and other hazards in food production. HACCP
can be applied throughout the food chain from primary
producer to final consumer. This scheme is based on
IS 15000 : 1998 'Food Hygiene HACCP Systems and
Guidelines' which is technically equivalent to the Codex
Alimentarious Commission Standard ALINORM 97/13A,
the International Standard on the subject. Under the
HACCP Integrated Quality Management Systems
Certification Scheme 67 certified companies were in
operation as on 31 March 2007. The process followed for
certification is similar to the process of QMSCS. This
scheme will help the exporters in the field of food and
food products especially for export to the countries like
USA and Europe. BIS also offers a standalone HACCP
Certification Scheme as per IS 15000.

This system is designed to allow all types of
organizations within the food chain to implement a
food safety management system and is a little more
comprehensive compared to HACCP system. BIS
has also launched certification schemes for FSMS
and has formulated guidelines for applicants and
other documents for FSMS certification.
b) BIS has formulated IS 15700 : 2005 on Service
Quality for Public Service Organizations. Government
of India has identified 10 departments for certification
against IS 15700 : 2005 from BIS. The standard has
been specifically designed for public service
organizations with the ultimate objective of focusing
on Government citizen interface and improves
quality of public service delivery. In this regard BIS,
has developed guidelines, checklist and all other
documents and is ready for certification.
c) The Information Security Management Systems
(ISMS) as per IS/ISO 27001:2005 provides a model
for establ i shi ng, i mpl ementi ng, moni tori ng,
maintaining and improving an Information Security
Management System which encourages its users to
emphasize the importance of understanding an
organizations information security requirements and
need to establish policy and objectives for information
security.
ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITIES
The BIS Standard Mark (ISI Mark) has a good brand image
as the consumer is inclined towards quality products.
Therefore, the consumer as well as the organized
purchaser is giving preference to the ISI marked products
over non-ISI products. With the growing demand of ISI
marked the instance of misuse of ISI Mark is also on the
rise as the unscrupulous manufacturers are trying to cheat
the consumers by producing sub-standard products with
ISI Mark without obtaining then licence from BIS.
The menace of misuse of the BIS Standard Mark is an
area of prime concern for BIS and several steps have
been initiated to strengthen the enforcement activity of
BIS to curb this menace. In the year 2006-07, two
outsourced agencies were appointed for 8 locations,
namely, National Capital Region (NCR), Mumbai,
Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Bangalore
and Jaipur as a pilot project for the first time in BIS to
provide the information about the manufacturers who are
misusing the ISI Mark on the product without having the
licence from BIS.
During the year BIS has carried out 212 enforcement raids
all over India on firms misusing the BIS Standard Mark.

During these raids, various
spurious products including
many household products
were sei zed such as
Packaged Drinking Water,
Cement, PVC Insul ated
Cables, Plywood and block
board, Cattle Feed, PVC
Pipes, LPG Stoves, food
mi xers, swi tches/
sockets,bulbs,pumps and
other Electrical Appliances,
etc. Efforts are also being
made for timely processing
of the enforcement cases
and consequent launching
of the prosecutions against
the offenders in the Courts.
During the year, 36 enforcement cases have been decided
in favour of BIS.
BIS has also issued a number of press releases about the
enforcement raids from Headquarters and its Offices all
over the country for giving wide coverage by both the print
and electronic media with the intention to create awareness
among the consumers about the unscrupul ous
manufacturers who are misusing ISI Mark . The names
of such manufacturers alongwith brand names which are
being used buy them on the spurious products are also
being mentioned in the press releases. Meetings are also
organized with the consumer organizations and then
manufacturers associations with an objective not only to
educate them about the misuse of the ISI Mark but also
wi th an i ntenti on to get i nformati on about the
manufacturers who are misusing the ISI Mark.

At present, BIS laboratories are
providing testing facilities in the
field of chemical, mechanical and
el ectri cal di sci pl i nes. Food
testing is an integral part of the chemical laboratories.
Central Laboratory at Sahibabad has also an electrical
calibration section to provide in-house calibration services.
Productivity
During the year 2006-2007, BIS laboratories issued
26 945 test reports against a target of 30 750 covering a
vide range of products inspite of constant depletion of
manpower. The strength of testing personnel involved in
the testing is now 136 against the sanctioned strength of
180. The output in BIS Laboratories for the last four years
is depicted in Fig. 5.
Quality Assurance Activities
Quality Assurance is an important activity in all BIS
laboratories to ensure the credibility of test results. Out of
eight laboratories, six laboratories of BIS are NABL
accredited. All the laboratories have aligned their Quality
Management System inline with the requirements of
IS/ISO/IEC 17025 : 2005. The various other functions
performed by the Quality Assurance Departments during
the year are as under:
i) Approximately 5 percent samples were tested under
Quality Assurance testing programme to verify the
accuracy of the test results as reported.
ii) BIS laboratories participated in Proficiency testing
programmes for products such as Steel tubes,
Pressure Cooker, Plug & Socket, HSD Bars,
Packaged Drinking Water, UPVC Pipes, GLS
Lamps, and Concrete Cubes.
iii) Officers & technical personnel participated in the
following training programmes :
Auditing techniques and requirements as per
IS/ISO/IEC 17025:2005

iv) Complaint handling is also one of the important
functions performed under quality assurance
activities. Whenever complaints are received, the root
cause analysis of the complaint is carried out and
suitable corrective and preventive actions are taken
and monitored. This activity is also subjected to
internal audit for verification of corrective/preventive
action plans.
Training Programmes on Product Testing
In order to bring uniformity in test methods, BIS
laboratories organized several training programmes
for the benefit of BIS licensees/applicants in the year
2006-07 in the fields of LPG stoves, Cables and
conductors, packaged drinking water, Food colour etc.
Modernization and Upgradation of Test Facilities
In the modernization programme, the standing committee
had approved approx. Rs 175 million for modernization,
with focus on:
Completion of test facilities where partial test facilities
exist
Upgradation of test facilities
Development of new test facilities
Creation/improvement of infrastructure
In this process, equipments to the tune of Rs. 1 Crore
have already been ordered by various BIS Laboratories
and i nf rast ruct ure i s bei ng devel oped f or t hei r
installation.
Networking of BIS Laboratories
A number of computers and accessories have been
installed at BIS laboratories to provide efficient
services. To strengthen and inter connect all the
BIS laboratories, discussions are on with NIC to
devel op and i nstal l Laborat ory I nf ormat i on
Management Systems (LIMS). Based on the decision
taken by Director General, BIS during the meeting
of the Heads of all BIS Laboratories on 20 May
2006, all the test reports for samples being tested
by BIS Laboratories are scanned and pdf files
placed on the BIS server for use by the ROs/BOs.
This has led to saving of time, money and misuse
of hard copies of the reports.
BIS Lab Recognition Scheme
BIS Laboratory recognition scheme is operated by
Central Laboratory to support the operation of product
certification scheme for testing of samples drawn from
factories and markets. Such recognized laboratories
are utilized in the event of higher testing loads or

Information technology has today taken the front seat
in every organization. Keeping pace, BIS is in the
process of implementing computerized based systems
across its various activities to seamlessly manage its
resources.
Computerization Project
Under the computerization project being implemented
by NIC, the required hardware and software have
been installed, all offices connected through network
and software developed for operating Certification
Marks Scheme, and all concerned employees trained
on use of the computerized system.
Since the hardware part is largely in place, more and
more impetus is being given to the computerization/
application software for remaining two core activities
(standards formulation and laboratory services), out of
which the standards formulation software is in final
stages of completion.
Mission Paperless
In pursuance of a major decision to move towards
paperless working, most of the documents (except
those requiring confidentiality and financial approvals)
are being transacted over e-mail. The intranet site
(Intra-BIS) started as a knowledge rich sharable
resource is being used on day-to-day basis by all
offices of BIS.
Intranet (IntraBIS)
The intranet is growing in size and knowledge by
addition of information on day-to-day basis. Important
in-house information such as office circulars, STIs,
amendments, manuals/guidelines, forms, testing
charges, testing facilities with online updation feature,
etc are hosted on IntraBIS for faster dissemination
and regular reference. BIS discussion forum has been
hosted on BIS Intranet to provide opportunity to
employees to give their views and comments on
various topics of wider importance in BIS.
BIS Website
The content of website has been made rich by
addition/updation of existing information. List of
certified foreign manufacturers/licensees are now
available on BIS website. A separate section for
popularizing the Scheme of Hallmarking Gold and
Silver Jewellery has been incorporated. A lot of
information has been published on the website under
Right to Information Act 2005.

Certification Marking Fee which stood at Rs. 1 255.00
million against Rs. 1 056.27 million in the previous year
that is an increase of 18.81 percent. This is due to increase
in number of licences and also due to revision of marking
fee. The income under Hallmarking Certification has
increased to Rs. 59.40 millions against Rs. 34.84 millions
during 2005-06 that is increase of 70.5 percent which is
as a consequence of simplification of procedures and

towards shortfall in Pension Liability Account) as against

was appointed for assessing the liability for pension
gratuity and commuted value of pension of BIS for its
employees. The consultant actuary submitted its final
report on 15.11.2005. The actuarial valuation report
submitted by the said firm was considered and accepted
by the Financial Committee in its 31st meeting held on
27 January 2006 and approved by Executive Committee
in its 70th meeting held on 23.3.2006. According to
Report, the total accrued liability in respect of Pension
and Gratuity amounted to Rs.36422.00 lacs as on
31.3.2005. In addition to this the actuarial value of future
service pension liability of active employees amounts to
Rs. 7298.00 lacs and the actuarial value of future service
gratuity liability amounts to Rs. 464.00 lacs for which an
annual contri buti on of 20.40 percent and
1.20 percent respectively of basic Pay and Dearness
pay shall be made every year to meet up this liability.
2.1.3 In consonance with the actuary report and decision
of Executive Committee, the following credits/debits have
been made to the Pension Liability Account as on
31.3.2007:
2.1.3.1 An amount of Rs. 535.29 lakhs towards future
service pension liability of active employees calculated @
20.4 percent of qualifying salary and Rs. 39.79 lacs towards
future service gratuity liability calculated @ 1.20 percent of
qualifying salary, totaling to Rs. 575.08 lacs has been
charged to Income and Expenditure Account under the
account head, namely 'Contribution to Pension Liability
Account' [Schedule D Item (2)] and credited to account
head Pension Liability Account [Schedule O(b) (iv)].
2.1.3.2 It was stated in the Draft Audit Report of Principal
Director of Audit for 2005-06 that as per the accounting
standards, the interest earned during 2005-06 should
have been credited to " Pension Liability Account" rather
than shown as income of the Bureau since it pertained
to Investment against the said fund.Since the total
interest earnings includes the interest on the Investment
towards Pension Liability A/c as well as the interest on
investment of current year income, therefore, the total
interest earnings of 2006-07 which stood at Rs. 2 691.50
lacs have been apportioned between Pension Liability
A/c and Income & Expenditure A/c in the ratio of opening
balance as on 1.4.2006 in Pension Liability Account and
Capital Fund A/c as under:
(Rupees in lacs)
Opening Interest of
Balance Rs. 2 691.50

as well as the principal amount of investment due on
maturity dates have not been received form UPCSMFL.
BIS has filed case before the National Consumer Disputes
Redressal Commission (NCDRC) which is pending
decision. The one time settlement proposal of UPCSMFL
to BIS received through M/s. Darashaw & Co. to accept

by Financial Committee. The case in NCDRC is in

to BIS for reduction of interest rate to 7% p.a. from date
of default to 31.3.2005 and 8% upto 30.11.2005 in place
of coupon rate was rejected by Financial Committee in
its 28th meeting held on 28.5.2005. In consonance with
orders of NCDRC, BIS approached the Cabinet Sectt.
through administrative Ministry for arbitration. However,
the Cabinet Sectt. has denied for appointing Mediation
Committee/Arbitral Tribunal stating that the MPSEB is not
a public sector undertaking of Government of India and
hence disputes pertaining to BIS and Madhya Pradesh
Electricity Board do not fall within the jurisdiction of the
committee on Disputes in Cabinet Secretariat. MPSEB
once again in its letter dated 21.3.2006 had reiterated its
earlier offer for settlement of dues which was rejected by
Financial Committee in its 32nd meeting held on 19 June
2006. FC also decided that BIS may continue to pursue
its case in National Consumer Disputes Redressal
Commission (NCDRC). The matter came before the
Hon'ble National Commission on 5.4.2007 for completion
of pleadings which have been completed and the matter
stands adjourned by the Commission for final hearing.

Commission in Bhopal which is pending decision. The
proposal of MPSIDC to BIS to accept the principal only
by foregoing the entire interest due since 1.11.2001 was
rejected by Financial Committee. The M.P. State Consumer
Redressal Commission in its order dated 12.5.2006 had
attached all the properties and assets of MPSIDC till next
date of hearing with a view to put pressure on MPSIDC
to pay the dues of BIS. The case has now been decided

in favour of BIS. The Appeal filed by MPSIDC in National

Court.
2.3.6 Investment in IFCI : Total investment with IFCI
from BIS Funds was Rs. 1 180 lacs and from G.P. Fund
Rs. 285 lacs at various rates of interest ranging from
12.10% to 14.75%. Due to its restructuring as a result
of general fall in interest rates, IFCI had been requesting
BIS to agree to reset the interest rate at 9% w.e.f.
1.4.2003 onwards and to shift the maturity for another
5 years or more. This proposal if accepted will result into
shortfall of interest by Rs. 1.34 crore to BIS and BIS
GPF on all investments till maturity. BIS did not accept
the IFCI's offer as per the decision taken in the meeting
of 20th FC held on 28.5.2003 and informed them to pay
to BIS the agreed rate of interest and maturity amount
on due dates. IFCI had paid the interest on all
investments of BIS at the reduced rate of 9%. BIS has
been requesting IFCI for payment of the difference of
the interest and also issued legal notices.
The Financial Committee in its 30th meeting held on
4.10.2005 recommended that BIS may approach the
Ministry of Finance through the Administrative Ministry for
the compensation of the shortfall in the interest due to re-
setting of the interest rate. The Department of Economic
Affairs vide letter 11/22/2005-BIS dated 13 June 2006
through Administrative Ministry informed that it may not be
possible for the Government to intervene in the matter as
IFCI is a company incorporated under Companies Act, 1956
and Government of India have no shareholding in IFCI.
In consonance with the recommendation of the legal
counsel, and with the approval of DG BIS, winding up
petition against IFCI Ltd. has been filed by BIS before the
Hon'ble High Court of Delhi vide Diary No. 5038 dated
18.4.2007.
Investment with IFCI as on 31.3.2007 : Out of the total
investment of Rs. 14.65 crores, investments of Rs. 13.85
crore have since been matured and remaining investment
of Rs. 0.80 crores will mature in June 2009.
2.3.7 Interest earned on investment : The total interest
earnings of 2006-07 stood at Rs. 2 691.50 lacs have been
apportioned between Pension Liability A/c and Income &
Expenditure A/c in the ratio of opening balance as on
1.4.2006 in Pension Liability Account and Capital Fund A/c.
As per the Accounting Policy for recognition of the
interest income, the cumulative interest accrued on default

NBCC for the project, a sum of Rs. 31.60 lacs has been
adjusted and the balance outstanding advance as on
31.3.2007 with NBCC amounts to Rs. 48.40 lacs. The
amount adjusted has been shown as Capital work in
progress in the Schedule of Fixed Assets (Schedule Q
Item 24). As the project is in standstill condition since
June 2006, therefore it has been decided by the Competent
Authority that no payment shall be released to NBCC
against other projects namely Construction of JBO Building
and NITS Noida. Accordingly, all due payments have
been withheld till settlement of AC Plant issues.
2.13 Modernization of Manak Bhawan Building Project:
The project of Modernization of Manak Bhawan Building
was initially approved by the Executive Committee in its
meeting held on 29 March 2004 with the project cost of

to National Building Construction Corporation (NBCC) in
the year 2004-05 for preparation of preliminary sketches,
drawings and estimates. The amount paid has been
shown as Capital work in progress in the Schedule of
Fixed Assets (Schedule Q Item 26).

providing and fixing, false ceiling, replacement of internal
electrical wiring, fire alarm system and painting work
with the revised project cost of Rs. 0.83 crore as
approved in Executive Committee at its meeting held
on 3 May 2005.
The work of Modernization of Manak Bhawan Building
Project with the revised scope as above is linked up with
project work of "Installation of New AC Plant of Manak
Bhawan" . As the Project of Installation of New AC Plant
of Manak Bhawan is in standstill condition since June
2006, therefore the work of Modernization of Manak
Bhawan Building Project also could not be initiated.
