Practice questions

Q1Which statement is incorrect about tender methods under the Rajasthan Municipalities (Purchase of Materials and Contracts) Rules, 1974?

A Open tender by public advertisement is the general rule, especially where the estimated value is Rs.5,000 or more.
B Limited tender is ordinarily used below Rs.10,000.
C Single tender may apply to material or goods when the estimated value does not exceed Rs.1,000.
D Limited tender can never be used when the value is Rs.10,000 or more.
Explanation

The incorrect statement is the absolute bar on limited tender at Rs.10,000 or more. Under the 1974 rules, limited tender is ordinarily below Rs.10,000, but higher-value use is possible when public-interest reasons are recorded or urgency is certified.

Q2A municipal contract is entered into after obtaining the required sanction. What must the contract document show under the 1974 rules?

A Only the name of the supplier and the delivery place
B Only the minutes of tender opening, without the sanction copy
C A statement that prior sanction has been obtained, with the approval or sanction copy forming part of the contract
D A later note that sanction will be obtained after the first payment
Explanation

Where a contract is made after sanction, the 1974 rules require the contract to state that prior sanction has been obtained and to include the approval or sanction copy as part of the contract. A later promise to obtain sanction, or mere tender-opening papers, does not meet that requirement.

Q3Which detail is part of a proper notice inviting tender for municipal purchase under the 1974 rules?

A Specifications, quality of material, delivery time and place, and payment terms
B Only the name of the municipal body and the last date
C Only the lowest acceptable rate fixed in advance
D Only the names of firms already known to the office
Explanation

A notice inviting tender for purchase should state full particulars such as specifications, quality, time and place of delivery, and payment terms. The other choices omit the details needed to compare bids on like terms or confuse notice content with a limited tender list.

Q4Which of the following is incorrect about tender choice for material or goods under the Rajasthan Municipalities (Purchase of Materials and Contracts) Rules, 1974?

A Single tender may be used where the estimated value of material or goods does not exceed Rs.1,000.
B Open tender by public advertisement is the general rule, especially where the estimated tender value is Rs.5,000 or more.
C Limited tender is ordinarily used below Rs.10,000.
D Single tender is the general rule whenever the estimated value is Rs.5,000 or more.
Explanation

The incorrect statement is that single tender is the general rule at Rs.5,000 or more. Under the 1974 rules, open tender by public advertisement is the general rule especially at Rs.5,000 or more, while single tender for material or goods is tied to an estimated value not exceeding Rs.1,000.

Q5Under the Rajasthan Municipalities (Purchase of Materials and Contracts) Rules, 1974, which tender method is the general rule where the estimated tender value is Rs.5,000 or more?

A Single tender to one firm
B Limited tender to selected reliable firms
C Open tender by public advertisement
D Purchase without tender after stock entry
Explanation

The 1974 Rules make open tender by public advertisement the general rule, particularly where the estimated value is Rs.5,000 or more. Limited and single tender are narrower methods tied to lower values, recorded public-interest reasons, certified urgency or specified exceptions.
