Real Exam Fact
- An officer empowered to accept a tender valuing ₹10 lakh is the Dy.CMM (Deputy Chief Materials Manager) — a specific, real fact confirmed directly from an official answer key.
- This delegation hierarchy (COS → CMM → Dy.CMM → SMM → AMM, roughly descending order of purchase power) is worth memorizing precisely, not just approximately.
