3.11. Recovery of dues from a PIA

If a PIA defaults in implementing a project, recovering government money paid to PIA after adjusting for expenses incurred as per guidelines and SOP is a critical activity. If the PIA fails to repay the amount it is necessary to invoke the revenue recovery act 1890 or other applicable Revenue Recovery or Public Demands Recovery Act of the state/UT.

The procedure to recover the Government dues is as follows:

• All SRLMs, i.e. both APS and YPS, should issue procedural orders on how the recovery would be made as per the relevant act in the state.
• All efforts will be made to recover the money from the PIA by SRLMs in case of APS and by MoRD through the CTSA for YPS.
• If all efforts to recover the dues fail the procedural order for recovery of dues will be invoked by:
  • SRLM in case of APS with information to MoRD
  • SRLM on the recommendation of MoRD in case of YPS
• MoRD will maintain a list of such PIAs and also circulate the same to all SRLMs and CTSAs. This would also be updated on the designated website.
