TRANSIT DAYS CALCULATION: The vehicle/consignment must reach as per the transit day’s matrix given hereunder. Transit time is exclusive of day of dispatch and day of receipt of consignment. Example: Vehicle/consignment loaded on 1st. Suppose 4 days is transit days for branch (i.e. 2, 3, 4, 5) (loading day excluded), then, vehicle/consignment must reach the designated destination on 6th on or before 1400 hours. If 6th is a Sunday or a holiday then the following working day is considered as reaching (delivery) day. TRANSIT DAYS CALCULATION FOR PENALTY TO BE PAID BY THE TRANSPORTER/3PL/LSP First Day for Transit day’s penalty will start from the day of reaching (after 1400 hours).

Citing the above example: Penalty per day will be levied if the vehicle/consignment does not reach the designated destination on 6th on or before 1400 hours, till the day the vehicle/consignment reaches (reaching day included for penalty if vehicle/consignment reaches after 1400 hours). If 7th is a Sunday or holiday then the following working day is considered as reaching day. If prior intimation is given by the Transporter/3PL/LSP to the Company in writing, regarding the delay in transit due to breakdown of vehicle or any other genuine reason, the transporter has to furnish sufficient proof of repairs while submitting the bills for said cases. It will be Company’s prerogative to decide regarding the transit time penalty DETENTION DAYS CALCULATION FOR DETENTION CHARGES TO BE PAID BY THE COMPANY IN CASE OF DETENTION AT DESIGNATED DESTINATION Similarly, Detention charges per day / vehicle will start one day after the vehicle/consignment has reached (on or before 1400 hours). If the reaching day is Sunday or Holiday then the following working day will be considered. Detention will be paid only if the acknowledgment is clear in respect of date and time and it is the Transporter/3PL/LSP’s duty to obtain the same from our Consignee.

Citing the above example: If the vehicle/consignment reaches on or before 1400 hours on 6th, detention charges will start after 1400 hours on 7th. However, if the vehicle/consignment reaches after 1300 hours on 7thand before 1400hrs on 8th, detention charges will start after 1400 hours on 9th. In case 8th or 9th is a Sunday or a Holiday, then the same will not be counted as detention day.
