CONSULTATIVE
PRACTICE RULES AND NORMS (1996)
1
Consultancy Services
may be offered to Industries, Service Sector, Govt. Departments and other
National and International agencies in 'niche areas' of expertise available in
the Institute.
1.1. The service offered will be along the lines of
'Professional Services' and will , hence carry with them obligations and
ethical requirements associated with such services.
1.2. Consultancy services offered may cover a variety of
activities such as : Feasibility Studies; Technology Assessments; Assessment of
Designs and/or Current Manufacturing Process; Material, Energy, Environmental
and Manpower Audits; Product Design; Process Development, Software Development;
General trouble-shooting, Retrofitting exercises, Intensive efforts for
transfer of highly focused skills and expertise to select groups in specific
organisations etc.
1.3. Testing & Evaluation services are to be normally
offered in selected specialized areas. In order to meet the needs of certain
Governmental and related agencies, and special clients (with long term
association with the Institute) routine testing services may be offered, but to
a limited extent.
1.4. Standardisation and Calibration services may be
offered in areas in which facilities are available or can be augmented. Such
services should normally be backed by periodic Calibration / Standardisation of
laboratory equipment used for such purposes.
1.5. Jobs which are too complex to handle, by virtue of
certain constraints inherent in any academic and research environment -such as
execution of works, should not normally be taken up irrespective of the
availability of expertise and perceived needs of the clients.
1.6. All Consultancy and related Jobs need to be structured
and executed in the spirit of promoting lIT -Industry Interaction, and as a
vehicle for augmenting (current) levels of excellence in teaching and research,
and in the process, generating funds.
1
Consultancy and
related services offered may be divided into three broad categories: Category A: Assignments involving
nominal use of Institute Facilities, notably Retainership Assignments which are
open ended, and advisory.
Category B:
Assignments requiring Research and Developmental work involving
significant use of Institute/Departmental
facilities. Generally all jobs other than
Retainership assignments and Testing,
Evaluation Calibration and
Standardisation services are expected to be
classified in this category.
Category C: Testing, Evaluation,
Calibration and Standardisation tasks.
2
Consultancy and
related assignments can be taken up by Faculty, and, Core Research Scientists
and Engineers in Departments/ centres -(hereafter referred to as consultants)
3
The time spent on
consultancy and related assignments shall be limited to the equivalent of 52
working days in a year, preferably at the rate of one working day per week. In
addition, Consultants may be permitted to utilize, on an average one non-
working day per week.
4.1
Consultancy and related assignments may, however, be taken up and
implemented, within the constraints
indicated above, provided they do not have any adverse impact on the ongoing
and potential academic, research and related activities. Further, such
assignments need to be carefully scheduled in the light of ongoing commitments.
If required, a clear indication of the earliest date on which the assignment
can commence may be clearly spelt out in the proposal form.
4.2 Travel out of the campus on account of consultancy
activities should be undertaken with intimation to the Head of the
Department/Centre. In the case of Heads of Depts/Centres, intimations should be
sent to the Director.
4.3 Outstation
travel on Consultancy Assignments may be undertaken normally with the prior approval
of the Head of the Department/ Centre, or, the Director (in the case of Heads
of Departments/ Centres). It is, however, anticipated that such approvals will
be given within two working days in order to ensure that prior commitments to
clients are honoured. In emergencies, prior intimation and subsequent sanction
could be considered acceptable.
5. All consultancy requests will be received by the Dean
(R&D) as per present practice. The work can be assigned to specific
consultants or groups of consultants "depending on expertise, and existing
commitments.
5.1 In the event
of a client preferring the services of a specific consultant, the assignment may
normally be assigned to the identified person, provided the requirements in
respect
of 4 and 4.1 are satisfied.
5.2 All acceptance
letters will be sent by the Dean (R & D), as per present practice.
5.3 Consultancy
project proposals (prepared in response to a clients' request) are to be
approved by the Dean (R & D) who may examine the scope of the work and cost
estimates. It
is essential to discuss proposed work plans with a client vis-a- vis the scope,
in order to obtain clarity before preparing the cost estimates,
5.4 Cost
estimates may be prepared in the forms (or as per the format) shown in Annexure V. The scope of the work, finalized
(normally) after a discussion with the client, should be spelt out clearly in
an attached sheet and signed by the Project Leader, and, preferably by all
consultants in the project team. To facilitate easy transmission of
information, the attached sheet outlining the scope, should be typewritten.
Such a sheet should also include the duration and the earliest possible date of
commencement (after receipt of payment) and a tentative date of completion.
5.5 In extreme
emergencies, a consultant may take up an assignment with intimation to the Dean
(R&D), and then seek approval. It would, however, be necessary to
ensure
that the task
involved is not a major one entailing total charges not more than Rs.25,OOO or, two days of faculty time, and
payments are made immediately -well
before
submission of any formal report.
5.6 The
charges once finalized will not be negotiable. However, if the scope is
altered, a fresh estimate may be considered.
5.7 The minimum charges applicable in respect of
category C jobs will be Rs.5000. In respect of category B jobs, the same lower
ceiling is to be retained. Category A jobs
should involve a minimum retainership period
of six months.
5.8
It is desirable that Preliminary
Diagnostic Discussions/Site Visits, leading to the
generation
of consultancy proposals may be charged at a minimum rate of Rs.2000 (or US$200
or equivalent in the case of international assignments) per day or part there
of, in
addition to travel and incidental expenses as applicable. However, as an
industry friendly move, such charges could be absorbed into the final project
cost if the project
materialises.
5.9
Conditional
Consultancy' projects entailing (i) bare essential costs for diagnostic visits
and proposal preparation and (ii) a provision for benefit sharing, may be taken
up.
Such projects, however, need to be initially targetted
. at larger well established industries, and will have to entail
Agreements/MOUs relating to basis of assessment of
benefits, proportion of benefit to accrue to the
Institute, and, a schedule of payments.
5.10 Consultants taking up developmental work need to be
conscious of the prospects of patents/copyright and related Intellectual
Property Rights issues. It is to be noted that
patents/copyright are granted to inventors/authors and
clients funding such work may overlook this aspect. The feasibility of working
out suitable arrangements in this regard should be discussed with Dean(R&D)
and suitable arrangements worked out. The arrangements could include (i) A ward
of the patent/copy right registration to the inventor/author with assignement
of all commercial rights to the funding client, or (ii) Charging of
developmental costs and obtaining a share of royalties and/or down payment.
6. The services of external consultants (especially
retired Faculty/Research Scientists/Research Engineers) may be utilized to a
limited extent in order to provide comprehensive services to clients. Such
external consultants will be entitled to a lumpsum honorarium! fees which may
be fixed after taking into account essential expenditure directly related to
the assignment; normal deductions by way of Institutional charges, and,
mandatory taxes will, however be made. The honoraria payable to External
Consultants may not, normally, exceed 40% of the Consultancy Fee for lIT,
7. The charges for any assignment are normally payable in
advance. However, exceptions may be made in respect of assignments involving
charges exceeding Rs.100, 000 and with implementation periods exceeding 3
months.
7.1 In the case
of large assignments, a payment schedule, linked to milestones, can be worked out. Such a payment schedule
should ensure that (i) advance payment is received for every segment of work,
and (ii) the number of installments are reasonable and consistent with ease of
implementation. The number of installments may not exceed four for a project
implemented over a one year period, and, this number needs to be scaled down
accordingly for I shorter duration projects.
8. Provision needs to be made for Professional
Development expenses for facilitating professional development and elevation of
consultants, to enable them to meet the challenging and diverse requirements of
national and international clients. In pursuit of this, it is proposed that a
Professional Development Fund be created. The inputs to the fund will comprise
the excess (over and above the minimum prescribed) amounts transferred to the
IRCC account. The amounts accumulated in the Professional Development Fund may
be utilized to meet reasonable expenditure related to professional development
and elevation (Annexure V provides a list of items which may be permitted by
way of professional development expenditure).
8.1 The
Professional Development Fund will comprise a sub unit of the IRCC account
(like Departmental Development Fund etc.) and will be operated by the Dean
(R&D). A
committee
comprising the Dean (R&D), Dean(RD) and one member of the IRCC Advisory
Committee may draw up norms and guidelines for extending professional
development
assistance to individual consultants, for approval by the Director. In drawing
up the norms and guidelines, due consideration needs to be given to the level
of
professional
activity of the consultant -through consultancy, industry funded sponsored
research, and other externally funded sponsored research leading to major
augmentation of institutional research
facilities. The Dean (R&D) may process requests for professional
development assistance as per the approved norms and guidelines.
8.2 In order to
facilitate accruals to the Professional Development Fund, the Consultancy Fee
charged by any lIT, Bombay Consultant [item 8a of Annexure VII (Part 2)] may
be apportioned
as follows:
|
Annual Consultancy Fee Slab (Rupees) (1) |
Percent Minimum
Maximum (2) (3) |
Consultants share
percent (4) |
|
|
upto 250,000 |
30 |

Over 500,000 |
50 |

30 to 70 |
|
External Consultants (all slabs) |

85 |
The share accruing to IRCC at the minimum percentages
prescribed (column 2) may be utilized as spelt out in 10.4. The amounts in excess
of the minimum may be transferred to the Professional Development Account.
9. The Professional charges for assignments under
categories A and B should not normally be below Rs.2000 per 'person day' or
'brain day'. Higher amounts may be charged depending on the area of expertise
and opportunity costs. In cases involving projects carried out for charitable
organizations involved in public welfare services, the minimum charges can be
revised downwards in consultation with the Dean (R&D). Whenever it is proposed
that professional charges should be in excess of Rs.15,000 or $500 per day, the
Dean (R & D) may give his approval after consulting an IRCC sub-committee
(if considered necessary).
9.1 Costing of
services of supporting staff should be along the guidelines suggested in Annexure
VI. It is anticipated that the services of stuudents will not, normally, be utilized
in
consultancy
assignments -in the interests of their own academic work. In exceptional cases,
services of students may be utilized with the prior approval of the Dean
(R&D).
The services of
students so utilized may be compensated through honoraria, under CPTS.
9.2 In the case of clients with whom there is a long
association and assessed potentialities for growth, of consultancy as well as
collaboration in the Institutional Educational and
Research
and Development activities, the per day charges may be marginally revised downwards
in order to create a 'special client' category.
9.3 In the case
of large sized jobs, a provision may be made for infrastructural up gradation,
if considered desirable, in the cost estimate under 'any other item' of
expenditure
head.
9.3 Amounts payable to RSIC (or any similar internal unit)
in respect of services utilized may also be included under External Services.
With regard to services proposed to be
drawn from RSIC, the rates
applicable to consultancy assignments should be ascertained.
10.
The current cost
estimate forms may be replaced by those shown in Annexures VII and VIII.
10.1
The current
scheme involving multiple overheads and library charges be replaced by the
following:
a) 10%
overheads on the total estimated cost for category A jobs, provided such jobs
are with reputed firms and retainership is for minimum of three months at a
time. Further, utilization of Institute infrastructure should be nominal. It is
preferable that the client should meet directly the consultant's travel and
hospitality related costs so as to minimize the workload on the Project and
Consultancy Cell, and at the same time enable consulting faculty to avail
facilities and privileges on par with their counterparts in industry. The total
charges for projects under this category will entail only professional charges,
miscellaneous/ contingencies, and travel -if the client does not wish to meet
these charges directly; it would be normally expected that the professional
charges would account for atleast 75% of the total project cost less the travel
component wherever applicable.
b) 15%
overheads on the total estimated cost for category B jobs.
c) 30%
overheads on the total estimated cost for category C jobs. All jobs based
essentially on testing/evaluation -entailing extensive and intensive use of
equipment and facilities -such as (i) assignments received through or on behalf
of the Customs Department, (ii) work involving testing of construction
materials/mixes, (iii) monitoring of waste streams through analysis of
representative samples etc., will come under this category.
10.2 In instances
involving purchase of major equipment /software packages costing Rs.1,00,000 or
more, the Dean (R&D), may at his disretion permit reducing the overheads on
such items. This concession may, however, be extended only to hardware/software
which have a substantial educational/research /future consultancy value, and
are retained by the Institute and made available (at no charges) to students
and other users across the Institute on time sharing basis (beyond the tenure
of the concerned consultaIlCY project).
10.3 The consultancy
fee, charges under CPTS, supervision and opinion charges may be apportioned as
indicated below:
10.3.1 30% of CPTS, and also on the
salaries/honoraria payable to those specifically
employed on
any consultancy project will accrue to the IRCC. This component may, however,
be waived in situations in which Masters degree students are wholly supported
on consultancy projects (i.e. with no liability to the Insititute in terms of
Teaching/Research Assistantships, or, any other regular payment).
10.3.2 The consultancy fee would acrue to IRCC/The
Consultant(s) as indicated in
table under
8.2.
10.3.3 In the case of jobs which involve
essentially testing, evaluation,
standardisation
or calibration, but calling for an opinion almost wholly based on the results
of such work, an additional 'opinion fee' may be charged. The opinion fee, as
well as supervision charges, may be shared in the same manner as the
consultancy fee.
10.3.4 The Contingency Component, not exceeding 10%
of the total estimated cost may be reimbursed on the basis of a statement
(outlining expenditure components and
amounts) submitted by the consultant.
Receipts/supporting evidence may be retained, if considered necessary, by the
consultant until Statutory Auditing of the
accounts for the year is completed (ie
normally till end of September in the following financial year) and need not be
appended -in order to save on staff time and
reduce paper work.
10.4 The share
accruing to the IRCC (Institute) from consultancy and other projects (as
indicated in 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4), less the amounts transfered to the professional
development fund, may be distributed and
deployed as indicated below:
10.4.1 Departmental Development Funds of concerned
departments/centres: 50%, to support departmental (or centre's) educational and
research and development
activities, and, infrastructural and related
requirements.
10.4.2 Institutional Funds: 40% to meet major
infrastructural augmentation, R&D Sustenance, promotional efforts, and
operating expenditure of the IRCC.
10.4.3 Staff Welfare Fund: 5%.
10.4.4 Student Welfare Fund: 5%.
10.5 The funds indicated in 10.4 may be utilized
as indicated below:
10.5.1 The Departmental Development Funds may be
utilized for the purposes indicated (in 10.4.1) by the Head of the
Department/Centre concerned, in consultation with
the DPC or a
Departmental Consultative Committee, and with the prior approval of the Dean
(R&D).
10.5.2 The Institutional Funds may be utilized by
the Dean (R&D) for operating expenditure of the IRCC, and, by the Director
for Institutional Development Activity.
10.5.3 The contributions to Staff Welfare Fund and
Student Welfare Funds may be Utilized by the Chairman of the Staff Welfare
Committee and Dean (Student Affairs),
respectively.
10.6 Consultancy
Fees, as well as honoraria payable under CPTS, may be disbursed as indicated
below:
a) In the
case of short duration jobs entailing full advance payment, full disbursement
upon completion of the job and receipt of (i) a certificate to that effect by
the project leader, and (ii) the report referred to in 11.2.
b) In the
case of long duration jobs entailing advance payment of instalments linked to
milestones, partial disbursements may be made; such disbursements will be
linked to the phase-wise CPTS and Professional Charges estimates to be provided
by the project leader. and, the phase completion certificate, and a report
along the lines refered to in 11.2.
10.6.1 Disbursements
will be made on the basis of infonnation provided in the Disbursement
form/Format shown in Annexure-IX.
11.
It is essential
to provide an effective framework to ensure smooth implementation of
consultancy projects in the context of Educational, R&D and related
activities. Also. the Dean's office should be
in possession of basic information in respect of consultancy activities to meet
various proactive as well as reactive needs. To meet these requirements. the
implementation needs to be within the framework given below:
11.1 Proposals
for large sized Developmental consultancy assignments involving outlays of
Rs.IO lakhs or more may be reviewed by a small standing committee, comprising a
segment of the IRCC Advisory Committee.
11.2 The
Dean (R & D) should receive a short report on every consultancy project.
upon completion. The report, in addition to giving basic information in respect
of the name of client (organization), scope, duration and budget, should
highlight in brief, the achievements and indicate the dates of commencement and
completion. The reports need to be preserved as 'Classified Documents' for a
period of typically five years (or any other agreed period). A collection of
such reports may provide a reservoir of knowledge for appropriate future use.
11.3 Confidentiality,
if required by the client, is to be strictly observed in respect of all
consultancy and related jobs. All staff/students involved should sign a
confidentiality agreement as per Annexure-X whenever required. All results
sheets and reports should be retained as confidential documents, and, access
and circulation should be restricted. Circulation and forwarding of
information/reports should be in sealed envelopes marked 'classified'.
12.
Technology Transfer
fees and Royalties accruing may be disbursed along the same lines as
consultancy income (as per 10.3.2). The facility of contribution to the
Professional Developmental Account may also be extended to
faculty/scientists/engineers identified with developmental efforts leading to
such Technology Transfers. Do\vn payments and Royalties accruing from software
development and transfer need to be included under this provision.
Within
the framework defined above, earnings by faculty (and other ScientistlEngineers
permited to take up consultancy assignments) will be governed by Section 8.2. In
the case of Slip porting Staff receiveing payments under CPTS, the existing
limit of honararia i.e. 1 year's gross salary per annum will continue to
be inforce.
The Committee recommended
that the above report along with Annexures (I to X) be considered for
acceptance and implementation in superession of the rules and norms approved
earlier.
