Pwd Ssr 2022-23

Several state PWDs (notably UP, Maharashtra, and Karnataka) embedded clauses in the SSR 2022-23 mandating and geo-tagged photographs for payment. Items requiring "hidden measurements" (foundation, reinforcement) now have stricter coding for reconciliation.

| Issue | Impact | | :--- | :--- | | | SSR steel rate (Nov 2021 base) was ₹58,000/MT, but market hit ₹68,000/MT in mid-2022. Contractors quoting exactly at SSR lost money. | | No Unskilled Labor Revision | While skilled wages rose 8%, unskilled rates remained stagnant, causing labor shortages on remote sites. | | Complexity in GST | The SSR showed "Base Rate without GST." Many junior engineers incorrectly deducted GST from bills, leading to arbitration. | pwd ssr 2022-23
