Provision of Administrative/Overhead Charges

February 10, 2024

The Research Section does not have any separate budget allocation from the institute for its expenditure.  Each project (other than those from UN organizations and Ministry of Health & F.W.) should have a provision of Administrative Charges (details provided below) in the project. All expenses of the Research Section including payment of salaries to the staff of the research Section are met out of this grant.

The current revised overhead charges are as under w.e.f. November, 2019:
(Circulated vide Memo No.5-56/A.Charges/2009/Res.Sec. dated 11 November, 2019)
