As a turnkey contractor specializing in electrification projects, we’ve been serving the Indian government for years. We submitted a bill for all materials upfront, and the project is nearing completion with most materials delivered and installed. Unfortunately, due to certain officials, an inquiry is underway, and the government has withheld payments. What actions can the government take if the inquiry finds us at fault?
