Q. In Jharkhand, purchases above which amount require E-Procurement Platform use?
Answer: ₹25,000
Notes: Jharkhand's Draft Procurement of Goods and Services Manual 2024 mandates purchases over ₹25,000 use the E-Procurement Platform. Section 5.4 specifies that procurement above ₹25,000 must comply with e-procurement guidelines to ensure transparency. Other thresholds include ₹50,000 for specific procurement methods and ₹1 crore for committee involvement. This policy aligns with state procurement regulations established to regulate purchasing and prevent rule evasion.
