Humble request to Experts for clarification on the issue of Tax applicability Clause:
Ours is a small scale MSME laboratory established by unemployed Graduate Brothers in Vizag district running on shoe-string budget. We were awarded AMC work by one institution during Dec 2020. Against submission of 1st Quarterly Tax Invoice, the approving authority replied that “As per the Agreement Page no: 38 &39 All quoted rates are inclusive of GST and the same were accepted by you. In this regard kindly submit the revised invoice with inclusive of GST Amount”.
In order to facilitate, kindly find below the contents of pre-existing factors for your kind perusal.
PAGES 38 & 39 SIGNED TECHNICAL DOCUMENT COMPRISING PRICE SCHEDULE
Sl. Item Descrip- Qty Units Rate inclusive Total Amt inclusive Total Amt tion of all taxes of all taxes in words

Sl. Item Descrip- Qty Units Estima Basic Rate Total Amt Total amount tion ted Rate in fig to be Without in words entered by taxes in the Bidder Rs. P
During this pandemic situation services rendered for “EXCLUSIVE OF TAXES“ would become a great blow on our financial stature. It may kindly be noted that Technical Bid document page 6 wherein it was indicated that “ Please note that Rates should not be quoted in the Technical Bid. Only Commercial Bid should indicate rates and should be uploaded on e-procurement portal."
Learned Experts are requested for issue of suitable directions since Rates Quoted on the basis of BOQ Price Schedule (without Taxes) Clause. Your valuable directions not only helps us to come across financial crisis but also helps us to render services without any encumbrances.
Look forward to receiving your valuable suggestions. Thanking you Sir, in advance.
