The defects liability period (DLP) in most standard public works contracts in India runs for:
Choose the correct answer
6 months from award of contract
12 months from virtual/practical completion of the work
24 months from the date of contract signing
36 months from first beneficial use of the structure
Correct Answer
B. 12 months from virtual/practical completion of the work
Why is this the answer?
DLP = 12 months from Virtual Completion Certificate (VCC) date — the contractor must rectify all defects notified during this period at their own cost. After satisfactory DLP, the Final Completion Certificate is issued and security deposit is released. FIDIC recommends 12 months; varies with contract type.
