Reference is invited to the above mentioned documents,
sir,
MSP Contract signed between UIDAI and HCLI defines a total of 94 SLAs. MSP
Performance is measured against the Key Performance Indicators (KPls) defined in SLAs
(Annexure B of MSP Contract). The application of LD for breach of SLA is governed by
Clause 9 of Annexure B of MSP contract.
2, Clause 9 (ix) of Section III-A - Service Level Agreements reads as “Cumulative
liquidated damages for each quarter shall under no circumstance exceed 20% of the fee
Payable for that quarter which will be the sum of amortized cost of cell payable in that quarter
and the cost of managed services of that quarter’, Accordingly LD is to be levied on
Amortised cost of Cell Components and cost of managed services payable in a quarter. As
Per MSP Contract, the cost of managed services also includes payments for components B2
{AMC of cell components) and B3 (AMC of non cell components) in addition to other
components. It is therefore intimated that quarterly LD for all quarters is to be levied on
Payments for components B2 and B3 in addition to components already being considered
for LD calculation. The same has been communicated to HCLI earlier including during Good
Faith Negotiation.
3.__ In view of the above mentioned facts and in keeping with provisions of Clause 11 &
47 of Annexure A, General Conditions of Contract LD, HCLI is called upon to refund the
excess amount received by it on account of LD on components B2 and B3 for previous
quarters where no recovcries on these amounts has been made, s
