Product · Hindrance register

The hindrance register, kept from day one instead of rebuilt for the hearing.

A running, countersigned log of every obstruction: land handover, pending drawings, utility shifting, approvals. Logged from the site on a phone, linked to the letters and evidence that protect it, exported in the format the Authority Engineer already knows.

< 60 s
To log a hindrance from a phone: one screen, dropdowns, large targets
8
Columns in the standard export, Sl. No. through AE signature status
3 states
AE countersignature tracked as Pending, Signed, or Refused, with date
WHY THE REGISTER DECIDES CLAIMS

Records created at the time beat memories reconstructed later

Indian public contracts run EOT through the Authority Engineer or Engineer-in-Charge, with the hindrance register as the culturally standard contemporaneous record. When a claim reaches a tribunal years later, the quality of that register is what is actually being judged.

01

Countersignature is evidence

A hindrance the AE has countersigned is far harder to dispute than one the contractor logged alone. The register tracks signature status per entry so the site team keeps chasing it.

02

Occurrence and removal dates

Period is computed from the two dates, so the claimed duration is arithmetic rather than argument. Continuing hindrances stay open with follow-up reminders.

03

Responsible agency

Authority, Engineer, neutral, contractor, or under review. Employer-side causes such as land acquisition and clearances are the distinction the register exists to prove.

HINDRANCE REGISTER · FREQUENTLY ASKED

Asked in every first call

Can site engineers use it without seeing commercial data?
Yes. The site engineer role can only log events and upload evidence. Contract values, letters, and claims are visible only to contracts managers and admins.
What if the AE refuses to countersign?
Record it as Refused with the date. A documented refusal, alongside the letter that requested it, is itself part of the record.
Does it produce the EOT application as well?
Yes. The claim wizard drafts an EOT application letter with a hindrance annexure in authority style for NHAI and CPWD families, built from the register entries and their linked evidence.
CERTIFICATIONS OF CONDUCT

Why you can put your name near it

Draft for expert review

DraftMyEOT is not a law firm and never claims to be. Every output is a draft, built to be reviewed and signed by your contracts lead or consultant.

Nothing invented, ever

No dates, events, or clause numbers appear that you did not supply. Every paragraph shows the evidence reference it was built from.

Your data, walled off

Each company's workspace is isolated, documents sit in private storage, and consultants see only the project they were invited to.

Send your next package

Send a contract, your delay events, and whatever records exist, tidy or not. A structured draft comes back in 48 hours. Not useful? Keep it, owe nothing.
