Hindrances logged the way the Authority Engineer expects, EOT applications drafted in NHAI or CPWD format, and a running record that does not have to be rebuilt from memory months later.
A run of 2026 arbitration awards illustrates the pattern plainly. These are public results reported in the trade press, cited below.
| Project | Contractor claim | Award |
|---|---|---|
| Bareilly–Sitapur BOT, Uttar Pradesh | Rs 3,177 Cr (30 claims) | Rs 46 Cr plus interest |
| Kamrej–Chalthan, NH-48 Gujarat | Rs 174.49 Cr | Rs 54 lakh |
| Panipat–Jalandhar Highway | Rs 8,375 Cr | Rs 819.96 Cr (net of NHAI counterclaim) |
| Tumkur–Chitradurga, Karnataka | — | Rs 1,202 Cr awarded to NHAI |
NHAI has publicly attributed these outcomes to digital project monitoring and strong contemporaneous documentation. A January 2026 circular also removed arbitration as a dispute route for claims above Rs 10 crore, pushing more disputes toward earlier, better-evidenced conciliation. Contracts issued by NHAI, CPWD, and other public authorities commonly treat timely written notice as a condition precedent, and a notice window as short as 7, 14, or 15 days is enough to extinguish an otherwise valid claim. The lesson for contractors is the same either way: the register you keep from day one is what decides the outcome, not the argument you make at the end.

A notified hindrance and a separate authority correspondence trail are tracked together, so nothing falls out of sync between your internal log and your outbound letters.
Formal letter format with reference numbering conventions your team already uses, not a generic Western claim template relabelled.

| Plan | Price | What's included |
|---|---|---|
| 48-hour draft (pilot) | Rs 25,000 | Same offer, repriced to Indian consultant economics |
| Per-claim standard | Rs 50,000–1,00,000 | Still far below arbitration-stage expert fees |
| Company Annual | Rs 2.4–4.8 Lakh/yr | Hindrance register, deadline engine, and 4 drafts included, sold per company, unlimited users |
| Per-project | Rs 60,000–1,00,000/yr | Matches how Indian contractors budget: project-wise rather than company-wise |
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.
No dates, events, or clause numbers appear that you did not supply. Every paragraph shows the evidence reference it was built from.
Each company's workspace is isolated, documents sit in private storage, and consultants see only the project they were invited to.
