In cases where there is any delay committed by the CTSA (for YPS) or SRLM (for APS), the following procedure will be followed.

• Notice 1: Notice will be issued by MoRD giving 5 working days to take further action.
• Notice 2: If the first notice is not complied with, a second notice will be issued giving 5 working days to take further action.
• Notice 3: After waiting for twenty working days after issue of first notice if CTSA has not completed the action MoRD will take suitable steps for getting the work done. It will also initiate penal action against the CTSA for YPS. Similarly for APS if state does not respond MORD will regulate the flow of funds based on the project progress. If delays occur frequently APS status of the state will also be reviewed. If the delay continues after twenty days of issue of Notice 1, MoRD may take suitable action for completion of the task. It may also initiate penal action against the CTSA (for YPS) or regulate the flow of funds based on the project progress (for APS). The APS status of the state may also be reviewed if delays occur frequently.

 Note: All such notices will be compiled and will become part of CTSA/SRLM performance evaluation.

 For procedures to deal with defaults other than delays, a separate notification will be issued by MoRD.
