Notified Claims - The courts and arbitration tribunals consistently emphasize that only claims properly notified in accordance with the contractual clauses (notably Clause 20.1 of GCC) are arbitrable. Claims not notified within stipulated timeframes or not included in the final bill are generally deemed non-arbitrable and inadmissible for arbitration proceedings China Petroleum Pipeline Bureau VS Indian Oil Corporation Limited - Delhi, China Petroleum Pipeline Bureau vs Indian Oil Corporation Limited - Delhi, Indian Oil Corporation Ltd. VS Artson Engineering Ltd. - Bombay, Indian Oil Corporation Ltd VS Era Construction (India) Ltd - Delhi.
-
Time Bar and Non-Notification - Clause 20.1 of the GCC mandates that claims must be notified within 28 days of the event. Failure to do so results in the claim being barred from arbitration or adjudication, as evidenced by cases where claims not made within this period were rejected Consortium Comprising of Larsen & Toubro Limited VS Mumbai Metropolitan Regional Development Authority - Bombay, Chennai Metro Rail vs Transtonnelstroy Limited - Madras.

Arbitration and Disputability - Disputes arising from claims that are not notified or are outside the scope of notified claims are often held to be non-arbitrable. Courts have refused to refer such claims to arbitration, emphasizing the importance of strict compliance with notification procedures Indian Oil Corporation Ltd. VS Era Construction (India) Ltd. - Delhi, National Thermal Power Corporation Limited VS Patel Engineering Limited - Delhi.

Claims Not Notified in Time - Under Clause 20.1, failure to notify claims within the prescribed period disqualifies them from arbitration, leading courts to deny arbitration or set aside arbitral awards based on claims not properly notified Consortium Comprising of Larsen & Toubro Limited VS Mumbai Metropolitan Regional Development Authority - Bombay, Indian Oil Corporation Ltd VS Era Construction (India) Ltd - Delhi.
-
Counterclaims and Non-Arbitrability - Counterclaims that are not notified or included in the final bill are also deemed non-arbitrable, and courts have held such claims to be outside the jurisdiction of arbitration, resulting in setting aside awards based on such claims Indian Oil Corporation Ltd. VS Era Construction (India) Ltd. - Delhi, Indian Oil Corporation Ltd VS Era Construction (India) Ltd - Delhi.
-
Legal and Contractual Consistency - The consistent judicial stance underscores that strict adherence to the notification clauses (Clause 20.1 and related provisions) is essential for claims to be arbitrable. Non-compliance leads to claims being time-barred or non-arbitrable, and courts will uphold this principle to maintain contractual certainty China Petroleum Pipeline Bureau VS Indian Oil Corporation Limited - Delhi, Ilfs Engineering And Construction Company Limited VS Indian Strategic Petroleum Reserves Limited - Delhi.
Analysis and Conclusion:
Claims under Clause 20.1 of GCC that are not notified within the stipulated 28-day period are generally barred from arbitration. Courts have consistently upheld that only properly notified claims, including those in the final bill, are arbitrable. Non-notified or late claims are deemed inadmissible, and arbitration awards based on such claims are often set aside. This underscores the importance of strict compliance with notification procedures to ensure claims are arbitrable and enforceable.
