the export front, what started

The
procedure for registration
of firms for supply
of stores to Integral
Coach Factory, are
detailed below:
The essence of purchasing is rational source selection. The registration
of firms as approved suppliers is done after assessing the capacity and capability
of the firms.
The
application forms
for registration
are available on
sale from the Registration
Section of the office
of the Controller
of Stores, Shell
division, ICF, Chennai.
The
cost of application
form is fixed as
Rs.50/- and if the
application form
is required to be
sent by post, a sum
of Rs. 50/- is to
be paid by the firm
towards postal charges. For
SSI units registered
with NSIC the postal
charge of Rs. 50.00
only is collected,
if the application
form is required
by post.
Along
with the application
form, an index of
group headings, a
questionnaire and
a check list containing
instructions are
issued.
The
application forms,
completed in all
aspects, are to be
submitted with a
sum of Rs.50.00 towards
registration fee. The
documents are to
be submitted to the
Registration section.
Incomplete applications
are liable to be
summarily rejected.
To
expedite registration,
new firms seeking
registration are
asked to register
with the Zonal Railway
covering the place
where the firm is
situated and then
approach ICF for
registration with
a copy of enlistment
issued by the Zonal
Railway concerned.
If
a firm is on the
DGS&D and Railways
approved list, a
reference will be
made to those organisations,
calling for performance
reports. Where the
performance is unsatisfactory,
registration will
be refused.
The
initial registration
is for a period of
2 years; the performance
of the firm is reviewed
and the registration
extended for a further
3 years. It may be
noted that it is
the responsibility
of the firm to get
them renewed before
the expiry of registration.
Monetary
limits are carefully
fixed, keeping in
view of the Banker's
reports, capacity
and capability of
the firm and other
financial informations
indicated in the
Balance sheet, Profit
and Loss statements.
The
monetary limit does
not debar a vendor
from securing an
order in excess of
this ceiling, or
for groups of stores
other than that registered
for, provided that
ICF is satisfied
about the capacity,
and a Security Deposit
would be payable.
The
concessions available
to SSI units registered
with NSIC are
Supply

all the documents
