This LC should be valid up to the end of financial year i. e. 31st March with a provision to for its encashment up to 15th April, if required. The amount of the LC would beconverted into number of rakes (called E-RR Limit) for which E-RR ((defined in Para 3.2) can be issued by the System without receiving any positive confirmation from the Bank regarding collection of funds from the customer. E-RR Limit will be decided by the CCM and FA & CAO of the Zonal Railway based on the loading performance of the customer in the previous year. After entering into the agreement for E-payment of freight, Railway will be entitled to claim and recover from the Bank funds equal to the amount of the LC at any time towards freight charges recoverable. Modalities regarding filing such claims by the Railways and payment towards them by the bank, period of validity of LC as well as other details in this regard will be incorporated in the Tri-Partite Agreement.2.4 The bank will function in accordance with the Focal Point Branch (FPB) scheme for reporting such transactions, which will also be incorporated in the Tripartite Agreement.

3. Internal procedure in the field offices:3.1 CCM and FA & CAO/TA of the originating railway will have the authority to add /delete consignors/consignees allowed to make payment of freight charges through this system and communicate this information together with details of the bank branch opted by them, account number, LC number and its validity period to CRIS/CAO, FOIS for it to be maintained in the FOIS database.

47

3.2 A separate category of Railway Receipts (RR) called “E-RR”, which may be ‘Paid’ or ‘To Pay’, will be introduced by Railway for use under the e-payment Scheme only. E-RR will be distinct from the existing types of RR, namely, Paid, To-Pay and Paid-To-Pay. Para 1451 (a) of Commercial Manual Volume II shall be revised accordingly. Similarly, Para 3.1 of master policy circular No. 2003/C&IS/FOIS/Progress dated 10.02.2004 issued on computerization ofRailway Receipts (RRs) under the Terminal Management System of FOIS shall stand modified and 8th digit of RR number with the figure 4 will denote for ‘ERR’.3.3 Normally a request from FOIS to the Bank for electronic payment will be responded within 150 seconds. In cases where this time limit is exceeded, procedure outlined in the Section dealing with Procedures in case of Exigencies will be invoked.3.4 TMS will maintain a ‘Payment Pending List’ to indicate the online count of number of the number of rakes for which E-RRs have been issued without receipt of a positive confirmation of collection of freight charges from the Bank.3.5 In this e-payment scheme, the goods clerk will give a command to the system to prompt the bank for collection of freight charges through e-banking. The bank on receipt of such an advice through TMS will collect funds from customer’s account and electronically credit the same to Railway’s account immediately during business hours and at the start of the next business day if such a transaction takes place after close of business hours. On initiation of a transaction for collection of freight charges for any rake, TMS will permit issue of a Paid E-RR so long as the number of E-RRs in the Payment Pending List does not exceed the ‘E-RR Limit’. When the fund collection advice is received from the Bank, the corresponding transaction will be taken off the ‘Payment Pend ing List’ adjusting the corresponding online count accordingly.3.6 TMS will ensure that ‘E-RR Limit’ is never allowed to be exceeded. If a transaction is initiated after the ‘E-RR Limit’ count has been reached in the Payment Pending List, a To Pay E-RR will be issued.3.7 The command requesting collection of freight against a particular transaction will include its complete details viz. invoice number, date of loading (i.e. date of generation of invoice number by the system), station from, station to, commodity, names of consignor and consignee, freight charges due, name and code of the bank, LC number with validity period and system’s date and time of triggering this task to the interface device between TMS and the bank.3.8 After successful collection of the requisite amount, the bank will communicate its confirmation in an encrypted form including all the booking details viz., invoice number, date of loading (i.e. date of generation of invoice number of TMS), station from, station to, commodity, names of consignor and consignee, freight charges credited and to be credited to the designated account of the FA & CAO of the originating loading station, name and code of the bank and system’s date and time of effecting this transaction to the CRIS Interface, which in turn will communicate these details to the loading point through TMS.3.9 At the loading point (TMS device location), the system will display a message confirming successful completion of transaction to the terminal operator.(i) Transaction ID given by the Bank, FOIS transaction time, Customer Code, LC number, Validity period of LC, Customer Bank branch and Branch code, Railway’s Bank Account Number, Bank’s name and Branch Code shall be printed on RR generated through E-Payment. One copy of RR shall be dispatched by the station to cash office along with daily challan as remittance note.

48

(ii) The Bank shall, in turn, generate a daily list of transactions incorporating all details given in Para 3.7 above which shall be sent to focal point branch of the Banker of the originating Railway and‘Remittance into bank’ section of HQ books section shall reconcile the transactions based on daily listing received through FPB and treasury remittance note (one earmarked copy of RR) received from Cash Office.3.10 At the close of each day at 24.00 hrs, based on transaction messages received from TMS and the Bank, the Interface will generate a transaction-wise reconciliation report for the information of FA & CAO/TA and CCM/FS of both originating and terminating Railways. FA & CAO/TA and CCM/FS of the respective Zonal Railways will also get a daily statement from TMS in respect of station-wise successful transactions made on each day up to 24.00 hours on the previous day for re-conciliation with the Bank’s statement. Copy of these statements will also be given to the consignor for re-conciliation at their end. However, reconciliation procedure for remittance into bank transaction in the Book Section shall be as per FPB scheme as per Para 3.9 above.3.11 Electronic payment system will be a 24x7 facility under which transactions will be made round the clock and on all the days of the year. Freight received till the close of the Business Hours of the Bank branch (to be specified in the Tri-Partite Agreement) under this arrangement shall be accounted for on the same working day for the purpose of financial settlement between the Bank and Railways. However, payments received electronically after the close of business hours of the Bank branch would be credited to the designated account of FA & CAO of the originating Railway in the next working day's receipts.

4 Procedure in Accounts:4.1 Cash office shall treat the payment advice in form of earmarked copy of E-RR as TR note for the purpose of accounting and reporting.4.2 In Traffic Accounts office, the present practice of checking the credits taken by stations in their balance sheet for bank remittances with reference to cash check prepared by cash offices shall continue. Likewise, the practice of reconciliation of remittances into bank being done with the daily scrolls and date wise monthly statements received from Focal Point Branch and that of latter with the clearance memo received from RBI, CAS Nagpur shall continue. There shall be a Bank system generated daily statement stating details of the total freight accrued, total freight credited on that day and amount to be credited on the next working day. These daily statements should be available on TMS for information of station/sconcerned and reconciliation by and Traffic Accounts office.4.3 The amount of freight so collected by the Bank shall be settled with RBI, CAS Nagpur in line with the applicable procedure/guidelines as may be prescribed by RBI from time to time.

5. Procedure in case of exigencies:5.1 In case there is a failure of communication between the FOIS, CRIS and Bank server either before any transaction details can be sent to the bank or after a transaction message is sent for payment and consequently no confirmation for transfer of fund is received at the TMS location, a facility would be provided to send a system generated alert message whenever possible to the concerned authorities (specified in the Tri-Partite Agreement) both by SBI and FOIS systems. The goods clerk/System will send request for E-payment to SBI every hour till fund collection advice (successful transaction message) is received from the

49

Bank. The corresponding transaction, thereafter, will be taken off the Payment Pending List duly adjusting the corresponding on-line E-RR count.5.2 In case there is a failure at the system end either for SBI or for FOIS servers, likely rectification time, whenever practical, should be indicated either through email or telephone to the concerned authorities listed in the Tri-partite Agreement.5.3 In case a consignment is booked under e-payment scheme, diversion or dump depot booking of such consignments shall not be made till the relevant software is ready. Till that time, such transactions will have to be accounted for manually.5.4 If the TMS device of the loading point fails to function at any stage, the Sr. DCM of the division, over which the loading station lies, will ensure that the requisite data are fed in the system through the proxy reporting from the adjoining location or divisional control office and that the RR is generated in TMS system and freight collected through e-banking well in time. However, RR will be printed at the goods originating point only on restoration of normal operation. Such transactions will be accounted for in originating station’s balance sheet.5.5 In cases a failure is anticipated to last for more than five days, CCM of the concerned Railway will be apprised and he will decide whether to declare this failure as a Prolonged Failure. If a failure is declared as a Prolonged Failure by the CCM, E-payment facility will be discontinued and payment shall be arranged by the Customer as per conventional system. In all such cases, E-payment system will be reintroduced through a notification by the concerned CCM based on a written certification by the Bank and CRIS/FOIS.

6 Withdrawal/Termination6.1 In case of frequent system failures leading to lack of communication between the TMS and the Bank, the electronic payment facility will be withdrawn in respect of such party by the Railway and manual system of payment shall be introduced. Railways will give a notice of 14 days from the date of issue to the party and the bank before terminating the Tripartite Agreement. Termination of Tripartite Agreement can also be done either by the consignor or the bank after giving a similar notice of 14 days.

7 Miscellaneous:7.1 Any other master policy circular issued for implementation of Terminal Management System (TMS) shall be read in conjunction with this circular.7.2 Any disputes regarding levy of To Pay surcharge etc will be resolved by General Manager of the Railway.

Sub: Introduction of extended /round the clock working hours at POL sidings.

Railway Board vide their letter No. 2005/TT-II/13 (P) (siding) of date 27/05/2006 have issued instructions that the working hours of POL sidings will continue to be governed in accordance with Board’s letter No. 96/TT-II/13 (P) /Comml of date13/02/1998 which is given below:

Sub: Unloading Hours of POL Rakes.

In order to maximize the utilization of tank wagons, it has jointly been decided by the Railways and the Oil Companies that sidings which are not equipped for unloading of POL rakes after sunset will be provided with adequate lighting, fire fighting facilities and manpower for undertaking the same. However, as this will require heavy investment by the Oil Companies, it has been decided to upgrade only those sidings which will justify such investment. Accordingly, sidings have been divided into 3 categories based on the number of rakes received per month. Only these falling in category B&C will be upgraded.

Category No. of Rakes/Siding/ Per Month Unloading HoursA Upto 10 BTPN Rakes /Upto 16 four wheeler rakes * Sunrise to Sunset

( 06.00-18.00 hours)B 11-21 BTPN Rakes/ 17-31 Four wheelers rakes *

(For placement of rake in the second shift, Railways will inform the location latest by 15.00 hrs.)

06.00-22.00 Hrs.

C 22 or more BTPN Rakes /32 or more four wheeler rakes* (For placement in the third Shift, Railways will inform the location latest by 20.00 hrs.)

Round the Clock

* Four wheeler rakes means conventional rakes.

136

2. Zonal Railways may categorize the different sidings based on the average number of rakes received at each siding during the last six months. The details should be advised to Board by 2.3.98 so that a consolidated list can be given to the Oil Industry for implementation.

3. For sidings, which fail under Category (B) & (C), Oil Companies have agreed to provide the required infrastructure like lighting , fire lighting, man power etc. by 15th December 98.

4. The Railways will notify the revised working hours of the sidings only after receiving confirmation from the Oil Companies that all the facilities required for handling of rakes after sunset have been provided and requisite clearances from the CCOE etc. have been obtained.

5. It may kindly be noted that there will be no change in the existing demurrage rules.

6. A copy of the agreement reached with the Oil Companies is as under.

Unloading of POL rakes

1. The demand for petroleum products has been steadily increasing and is expected to grow at more than 7 to 8% p.a. In the deliberation of the Working Group on Operations it was felt that it has become necessary to take immediate steps to utilize the existing fleet of tank wagons much more productively. One of the areas which require attention is the terminals where many of them do not have the requisite facilities for unloading of rakes during the evening and night times. Since this would involve heavy investments in terms of light facilities and manpower, it was decided to categorize the sidings based on the number of rakes handled per month. This will help in optimizing the investments vis – a vis the benefits in terms of better turn around. This will help in faster evacuation of POL products with the same rolling stock.

The following has been agreed upon:

No. of rakes /Siding /per month Unloading Hours

A) Upto 10 BTPN rakes /Upto 16 Four wheeler rakes Sunrise to Sunset (0600 – 1800 hrs)

B) 11 – 12 BTPN rakes/ 17 – 31 four Wheeler rakes 0600 – 2200 hrs

For placement of rake in the second shift, Railways will inform the location latest by 1500hrs.

C) 22 or more BTPN rakes /32 or more Four wheeler rakes Round the clock

137

For placement of rake in the third shift, Railways will inform the location latest by 2000hrs.

Four wheeler rakes means conventional rakes.

2. Based on above, Oil Companies will catogarize the unloading locations and will inform Railways by 15th of March 1998.

3. The Oil Companies will provide the required infrastructure like lighting, manpower, etc at locations by 15th December 1998.

Railways will be kept informed of the progress of the same.

Hence, it is hereby instructed that the Railway staff at station (s)/siding (s) supervising the un-loading operations should prevail upon the C&F Agents and also the handling labour to properly clear all the leftover after un-loading of wagons and ensure supply of clean empty rakes. In case the consignees and C&F Agents do not extend proper co-operation in this regard, the wagons may be shown as “UNDER LOADING /UNLOADING until the time the wagons are properly cleaned. Demurrage Charges may also be levied accordingly.
