  ₹11.65 to 1 Oct 2025 + ₹0.20 from 1 Apr 2026

  This row does not add up, in either language. Both texts print a cumulated rate of 11.65 and a VDA of 0.2, which come to 11.85, and both print a total of 11.67. The row contradicts itself identically in Hindi and English, so neither text settles it. The same cumulated rate of 11.65 appears at II(iii) below with a VDA of 0.21 and a total of 11.86.

  This row does not add up, in either language. The addends as printed come to 75.39, not the 75.71 printed as the subtotal. Both texts print the same addends and the same subtotal, so neither settles it. The total follows the printed subtotal.

  ₹858 to 1 Oct 2025 + ₹16 from 1 Apr 2026 = ₹874

  The two texts disagree. The Hindi text prints 874.00 and the English 8,874.00 — a difference of an order of magnitude. Both print the same subtotal of 858.00 and the same VDA of 16.00, which come to 874.00, so the English total contradicts its own two columns. The same 858 + 16 chain is printed as 874.00 for fire bricks in the English text itself.

  per 35 kg bag (Hindi) / per kg (English)

  ₹92.83 to 1 Oct 2025 + ₹2 from 1 Apr 2026 = ₹94.83

  The two texts give different UNITS, and they differ by a factor of thirty-five. This is a difference of unit, not of amount, and the two readings differ by a factor of thirty-five. The Hindi text gives the unit as a bag of 35 kg, matching the charcoal row immediately above it, which both texts agree is per 35 kg bag. The English text gives it as per kilogram. Nothing in the notification resolves which is intended.

  The Hindi text prints the subtotal as 92.33; the English prints 92.83, which its own addends and the total of 94.83 both support.

  per metre

  ₹34.34 to 1 Oct 2025 + ₹1 from 1 Apr 2026 = ₹35.34

  The two texts disagree. The Hindi text prints a cumulated rate of 34.34 and a total of 35.34 for these three pick counts; the English prints 35.02 and 36.02, the same as for 42 pick. Each text is internally consistent, and they do not agree.

  ₹44.09 to 1 Oct 2025 + ₹1 from 1 Apr 2026 = ₹45.09

• Plucking of leaves₹1,597
  per 50,000 leavesor ₹1.55 per 50 leaves

  ₹1,568 to 1 Oct 2025 + ₹29 from 1 Apr 2026

  This row does not add up, in either language. Both texts give a second way of expressing the same rate — one rupee fifty-five paise per fifty leaves — which comes to 1,550 for fifty thousand and matches neither the cumulated 1,568 nor the total 1,597. The alternative is printed in both languages and is reproduced as printed.
