Sir, My issue is regarding 2 Cover Open Tender: COVER-1 is Signed Technical Bid comprising Technical aspects of the services offered and "Un-priced Schedule which shows "Rate inclusive of all taxes (to be entered by the bidder)" (Do not quote the rate here). COVER-2 Encrypted BOQ Templated - Price Schedule (must not be modified/replaced, else liable to be rejected for this tender). Basic Rate to be entered by the Bidder in Rs. " Total Amount without Taxes" Kindly Clarify as to whether invoice to be submitted "With Taxes OR without Taxes"? May kindly be clarified.

These tender documents would be made at some point of time and the same format would be used even after years!! Since the name of the field is " Total amount without taxes", this would mean the basic value. I think the template should be able to compute applicable taxes once you enter the rate of tax applicable. Just check the total value in the price bid and invoice accordingly. It is difficult to precisely answer the query without knowing the format of price bid. Usually govt tenders are quoted at basic price and tax and other charges are as extra components. Hope this helps you.

If you have accepted rates including GST as per agreement, then you need to bill as per agreement.

If you have no where mentioned that the taxes are extra, then it might not be easy to invoice taxes as extra. See if you can speak to the client and negotiate the terms owing to the pandemic situation.
