period.

Vendor to arrange for updation required in the system to meet the changes
suggested by RBI/ Govt. of India/ towards compliance as part of ATS at no extra cost
to Bank for the entire contract period. Any delay in meeting the timelines would result

basis. Application availability will be 99.5% on 24x7x365. The penalty will be calculated as
per the details given below.

Page 87 of 132
RFP Ref No. RFP/ITD/013/19-20 dated 17.02.2020
SUPPLY, IMPLEMENTATION AND MAINTENANCE OF LOAN ORIGINATION SYSTEM
WITH DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Uptime percentage - 100% less Downtime Percentage.
Downtime percentage - Unavailable Time divided by Total Available Time, calculated on
a monthly basis.
Total Available Time – 24 hrs per day for seven days a week.
Unavailable Time - Time involved while the solution is inoperative or operates
inconsistently or erratically.

Uptime Percentage Penalty Details


A >= 99.5% No Penalty
99.0% =< A < 99.5% 2% of cost of monthly maintenance charges
98.5% =< A < 99% 5% of cost of monthly maintenance charges
A < 98.5% Penalty at an incremental rate of 1% (in addition to a
base of 5%) of cost of monthly maintenance charges
for every 0.1% lower than the stipulated uptime

The uptime percentage would be calculated on monthly basis and the calculated
amount would be adjusted from every subsequent quarter payment. The SLA charges
will be subject to an overall cap of 10% of the Monthly Maintenance Charges and
thereafter, Bank has the discretion to cancel the contract. If Vendor materially fails to
meet an uptime of 99.50% for three (3) consecutive months, the Bank may have the right
to terminate the contract. In case if there is no pending invoices to be paid by the Bank
to the vendor, the vendor has to submit a pay order/ cheque payable at Mumbai in
favor of INDIAN OVERSEAS BANK for the same within 15 days from the notice period from
