All 7 Documented Cases
अनुदान निधि उपयोग प्रमाणपत्र (FUC) में विलंब के कारण निधि रिलीज में देरी
₹50,000–₹5,00,000+ per delayed submission cycle (estimated based on average ISRO project grants ranging ₹10–₹50 lakhs; delay penalties typically 2-5% of annual allocation or potential ₹20,000–₹100,000+ in opportunity cost of delayed disbursement).ISRO grant recipients must submit FUC and AAS to PAO within 12 months. Delayed submissions result in: (1) Release of subsequent year funds blocked; (2) PI cannot request project extensions; (3) Cannot modify project objectives; (4) Administrative burden of manual document compilation.
स्वीकृत परियोजना लागत में ओवरहेड सीमा उल्लंघन से अतिरिक्त संस्थागत लागत
₹50,000–₹2,00,000 per project (typical for projects ₹15–₹50 lakh total cost; institutions absorbing 2-8% additional overhead beyond ISRO's 20% cap).ISRO prohibits overhead costs exceeding 20% of total project cost or ₹3.00 Lakhs, whichever is lower. Institutions exceeding this cap must fund the difference from internal budgets. This affects institutions with high indirect costs (utilities, administrative staff, facility maintenance).
निषिद्ध उपयोगों के लिए अनुदान विचलन और निधि वापसी जोखिम
₹1,00,000–₹10,00,000+ per violation (full project overhead clawback or 10-50% of disputed expenses; ISRO may suspend future grants).ISRO prohibits: (1) Salaries/wages for PI or institutional staff (except project-specific Research Fellows); (2) International travel; (3) Equipment not exclusively required for the project; (4) Diversion of funds for non-project purposes. Audit discovery triggers fund recovery action.
भारतीय अंतरिक्ष गुणवत्ता मानक अनुपस्थिति (Indian Space Quality Standard Absence)
Estimated ₹50-150 crore annually in rework, scrap, mission delays, and quality assurance redundancy; typical mission loss from single counterfeit component: ₹10-50 crore per satellite/launcher failureLack of standardized Indian Space Quality Standard leads to inconsistent component quality, counterfeit risks, and increased rework cycles. ISRO must currently perform redundant testing and qualification of privately supplied components.
