Sub:- Issue of Tickets to Accredited Press Correspondents. In case of concession to accredited press correspondents, presently the tickets through

UTS are being issued only from the station that issued the Photo identity card to the concerned press correspondent. This restriction was not there in case of the earlier system of issuing tickets through coupon books as the correspondent could purchase ticket from any station at which he presented the coupons.

In this regard references from Zonal Railways have been received for relaxing the restriction regarding issuing UTS tickets from the Photo identity card issuing station only, i.e. allowing issue of UTS tickets to accredited press correspondents from any station.

The above proposal has been examined by Board in consultation with CRIS who have confirmed that necessary software modifications have been done. Accordingly, it has been decided to permit issue of tickets to accredited press correspondents from stations other than the “Photo identity card” issuing station also (Authority: CCM/NWR No. C.76/Concession/Vol.II/10 date 08.02.2010 )(Authority: Railway Board No. TC.II/2704/2009/Policy of date 22.01.2010)____________________________________________________________________________ PARA FOR LOCAL RATE ADVICE – COACHING No. : 11 of 10 _________________________________________________________________

For example:- If a tenderer wants to operator lease contract 5 days in a week and desires to avail 9 days leave and 20 days non-loading during a year. The contractual value of his tender will be worked out as per the following method:-

(i) A tenderer mentions say- Monday, Tuesday,Wednesday, Thursday & Saturday = 5 days in a week for operation of lease contract

Total days of operation during a year willbe 5 x 52 = 260 days

40

(ii) Leave desired by the tenderer during a year

9 days maximum on prorata basis =8.6 = 9 days

20 days maximum on prorata basis =37.14 = 37 days

(iv) Total number of loading days 260 – ( 9 + 20 ) = 231 days

Thus, the tender will be evaluated for 231 days full leased freight + 20 days (nonloading) on the basis of 25% of freight + 9 days (leave) zero freight.

The remaining days of service during a week may be offered by the Tender Committee to the second highest bidder in the same tender.

In case of request of non-loading of SLR, it the leaseholder later on desires to load the parcel space, he may be allowed to do so, if it feasible and there is no plan for other loading. In such cases, 25% of the lumpsum leased freight collected towards non-loading, will be adjusted in the leased freight.

(e) In case the leaseholder exceeds the number of leave and non-loading days asmentioned by him in the tender form, he shall have to pay full freight.

In this connection, it is clarified as under:-

46

(i) Berth No. 1 & 3 in A-1 Coach should be earmarked for Doctors in Duronto Trains. In case of those trains where these berths have already been booked, Railway may earmark the accommodation in alternate coach till regular earmarking is done in A-1 Coach. This will ensure uniformity and it will be easy to disseminate information to general public about this service.

(ii) Doctor and his/her team will travel on these berths on the authority of Duty Pass issued to them, for which instructions will be issued by Establishment Directorate separately.

(iii) During the night, a co-ordination will have to be made among the Train Superintendent, ailing passengers and Doctor in the train for which Railways may devise a suitable mechanism.

Railway Board’s letter No. 2009/H/7/5 dtd 11.02.2010 is reproduced below:

Sub:- Doctors on Duronto Trains : Pilot Project.

The matter regarding “ Doctor on Long Distance Trains” has been examined in Board’s office and it has been decided to start a Pilot Project in all Duronto Trains for a period of one year with the following terms and conditions:

1. It will be a free service.2. Each train will require one General Duty Medical Officer (GDMO) and one

paramedical staff.3. The GDMO and other staff at present are being utilized for Railway

employees and their family members. The zones will have to outsource manpower. However, till they are able to do so, they can utilize them from their existing cadre with suitable adjustment of duties.

4. 2 berths in IInd AC compartment will be required to carry the doctor, attendant, medicines, other disposables and resuscitation equipments. These two berths will have to be earmarked in each train by the Commercial Department.

5. More advanced equipments with newer technology needed for diagnosis e.g ECG, Ophthalmoscope, Glucometer etc., equipments needed for treatment e.g A.E.D defibrillators, portable suction apparatus, oxygen cylinders, Nebulizer, various emergency management disposables and medicines will be purchased by the Zone as spot purchase under GM’s SOP,whenver necessary.

47

6. Mechanical /Electrical Departments will have to make small modifications for providing oxygen cylinder holders, I.V drip set holder, extra light for patient management and extra plug points for various resuscitation equipments.

7. As these services will be under close observation not only by the Railways but also by the passengers, it will be very essential to maintain high level of quality service and protocols. Procedures will have to be in place for high level of patient safety.

(a) The Train Superintendent will coordinate between the ailing passengers and the doctors.

(b) For not missing out of any serious or life threatening situation, after the initial examination of the passenger at his own berth, he /she will be moved to the designated patient care sick bay.

(c) It will be final decision of the doctor to judge the seriousness of the ailment in reference to whether the passenger is fit to continue his journey or has to be detrained.

(d) Once the decision is taken by the doctor to detrain the passenger, the Train Superintendent will be responsible to stop the train in the next station with available medical facility. For this a list of hospitals on all the stations enroute on the designated trains will be kept by the doctors’ team and also by the Train Superintendent.

8. Station manager /ASM on duty will be responsible to transfer the patient from the station to the nearest medical centre. This is essential because the concerned station may not have a Railway doctor ( Health Unit /Divisional Hospital ), but it may be essential to shift the patient quickly to a hospital to save his life.

9. The Train Superintendent, TTE and Coach Attendant will be responsible to assist the team in case of serious emergency situation.

10. As the medical team will be busy attending to all kind of minor and major ailments during Journey, they will need proper earmarked accommodation at Delhi in Railway Rest House for Railway Officers and Supervisors’ rest house for the para-medical staff, so they are rested will for the return journey.This has the concurrence of the Finance Directorate of the Board.

Sub:- Weighment of container trains.

In terms of Board’s letter No. TC-1/2006/108/4 dated 13.10.06 (Rates Circular No. 86 /2006), all rakes loaded at each loading point for each stream are required to be weighed at Associated Weighbridge/Alternate Associated Weighbridge. Only consignment loaded in standard bagsd of uniform size were exempted from mandatory weighment at the weighbridges with a provision for random surprise checks as per Board’s Rates Circular No. 61/2007 dated 05.06.07.

Despite the existence of instructions of weighment, it has been learnt that the container trains are not being weighed at weighbridges, Such practice, if followed by any of the Zonal Railways, is not in conformity with the extant instructions.

It is hereby clarified that no specific exemption has been given to container traffic and the procedure of weighment issued vide Rates circular No. 86 /2006 is applicable for container trains also.

Zonal Railways are advised that the extant instructions to weigh container trains in the matter may be followed scrupulously.

It may be appreciated that there are not only chances of overloading in container trains but also there is scope of misdeclaration of weight thereby getting the benefit of rate of lower weight slab. Therefore , weighment particular of containers should be utilized for the purpose to check overloading as well as misdeclaration.

In case of misdeclaration, penalty will be levied as per Rule 126(1) (a) of IRCA Goods Tariff modified vide Board’s letter No. TCR/2210/2006/1 dated 08.11.2006 (Rates Circular No. 95/2006) . In case of overloading, punitive charges for overloading may levied as per Gazette Notification dated 15.06.07.

In case of containers, haulage charges is levied per container basis where as weighment will be per wagon basis carrying one or more containers. Also it will not be possible to weigh each and every container during weighment enroute. Therefore for the purpose of calculation of penalty, the excess weight detected after weighment will be uniformly distributed on all the containers loaded on the wagon on TEU basis.

55

Since CONCOR has been permitted to issue IW Bill in lieu of R.R. Only till March, 2010, therefore weighment advice will be advised to originating terminal of CONCOR, to work out haulage and penalty recoverable, with a copy to Traffic Accounts and Sr. DCM of the concerned division.

Zonal Railways shall notify the weigh bridge associated with every loading points for weighment of container trains and lay down the procedure order for realization of penalty /haulage charges.

Certain clarifications have been sought by Zonal Railways regarding Freight Incentive Schemes.

The issues raised have been examined and clarification in the matter is as under:

Clarification sought from Board Clarification by Board(i) Can a customer, who has not loaded in a particular month of previous years i.e.2008 & 2009, be considered for grant of freight discount under incentive scheme for Traditional Empty Flow Directions and Incentive Scheme for Incremental Traffic? The methodology of fixing the benchmark in such a even may also be illustrated.

Yes, provided that it is not a new traffic in terms of Rates Circular No.62 of 2009. Calculation for fixing benchmark is illustrated below:

Illustration:( i) Say,a customer has

loaded traffic in 2008 as well as in 2009. If he has not done any loading in February 2008 and February 2009, the entire loading in Fabruary 2010 becomes incremental traffic. Similarly, if customer has loaded in March 2008 but has not loaded in March 2009, the benchmark for March 2010 will be average of NTKMs in Corresponding months of previous two years i.e.average of NTKMs in March 2008 and March 2009.

(ii) A new siding starts operation in , September 2008. Customer loaded both year i.e in 2008 and 2009 and is therefore, eligible for freight concession. In year 2010, upto August 2010, Benchmark will be NTKMs of previous year i.e of 2009 month-wise. Benchmark for the September-December 2010 will be monthly average of NTKMs of the previous two years.

(ii) Whether the NTKMs for various leads offered in wagonload class should be included for fixing benchmark

The schemes do not discriminate between wagonload and trainload traffic.

65

(iii)Whether freight discount can be granted for traffic offered in wagonload class in the year 2010 under Incentive Scheme for Traditional Empty Flow Direction and Incentive Scheme for Incremental Traffic?(iv) What will be the floor rate of a commodity having classification less than LR-I when loaded in a wagon under (a) or (b) of ‘Incentive’ clause of Incentive Scheme for Freight Forwarders?

The commodity should be charged at actual chargeable Class irrespective of the floor rate.

Say,10 wagons in a rake have been loaded with commodities having Class LR-3 and 20 wagons have been loaded with commodity having Class LR-3 and LR-2. Remaining 10 wagon have been loaded with multi commodity. In such cases, the charging will be done as per the following:

First 10wagons will be charged at Class LR-3.Next 20wagons will be charged at Class LR-2.10 multi commodity wgons will be charged at Class 120.

In case, any concurrent concession is admissible and the class of the commodities loaded is higher than Class LR-1, the chargeable freight, after grant of admissible concession should be at least the NTR for Class LR-1.

(v) what will be the stacking period under Incentive Scheme for Freight Forwarders?

In terms of para (8) of the “ Conditions” clause of the scheme, the extant instructions pertaining to stacking shall be applicable. The Current instructions have been prescribed in Rates Circular No.21 of 2007 and its Corrigendum.

The Railway will plan and try to place corresponding PR covered/BCX empty rake as soon as the BCN rake is placed at the dump. Otherwise, the customer will unload the consignment to wharf and load back the PR/BCX wagons at their cost and resource.

(d)The RR will be issued by the forwarding station for the dump station initially at normal tariff rate and a fresh RR will be issued from the dump station to the interchange point as per the Indo- Pak Agreement in this regard. Freight from the dump station will be calculated by deducting the freight already paid at originating station from telescopic freight for entire distance from originating point of BCN rake to the interchange point.

(e) Congestion surcharge applicable for the Pakistan traffic(which currently is 20%) will be realized on the RR prepared at the dump station for the entire distance i.e. from the originating point of BCN rake to the interchange point as per Indo-Pak agreement in this regard.

(f) Parties will transship the consignment at their own cost. Demurrage/Wharfage charges will be levied as per extant rules.

(g)This facility of dump is for the traffic intended to Pakistan only and applicable for handling of bagged consignment only.

(h)Dump charges@ 70 paise per quintal will not be levied in this case.(i) For the traffic booked from Pakistan to India,Transhipment will be done from PR/BCX

wagons to BCN wagons.

2. All commercial rules will be observed scrupulously.3. It may be ensured that all charges such as congestion charges, busy season charge, development charge, demurrage and wharfage charges etc. are levied as per extant rules.

Charge.

Ref : Para 925 of IRCM,Vol-I and Para 1708 of IRCM, Vol-II

A clarification has been sought as regards reckoning of free time for a rake which has been placed on a line where free space is not available on adjoining platform -due to non-removal of consignment unloaded from other rake.

The matter has been examined and it is to clarify that commercial placement of a rake will commence from the time of its operational placement in the railway goods shed / siding irrespective of the fact that unloading / loading could not commence immeditely for reason such as non availability of free space on adjoining platform, non availability of covered shed, rain etc., provided that

88

such time of operational placement lies within the working hour of that particular railway goods shed / siding. In case the time of operational placement is beyond the notified working hour of railway goods shed / siding, the rake will be treated to have been commercially placed from the onset of next working hour.

(Illustration: Say working hour of goods shed is 0600 – 2200 Hours. Now, if a rake is placed at 0700 Hours in the goods shed, its commercial placement will commence at 0700 hours as 0700 hour lies between 0600-2200. If a rake operationally placed at 2300 Hours, its commercial placement will commence at 0600 Hours of the next day. Similarly, if a rake is operationally placed at 0500 Hours, its commercial placement will commence from 0600 Hours of the same day)

The reason for non-commencement of loading/unloading from the rake immediately after its commercial placement (for reasons like non-availability of wharf due to occupancy by consignment unloaded from earlier rakes etc.) would be considered at the time of granting waiver. The application of waiver, if preferred by the rail user, will be forwarded by the concerned Station Manager/Chief Goods Supervisor to the Divisional Officer giving full details of the factual position, as prescribed under rules of waiver vide Para 2.5 of Rates Circular No.39 of 2004.

* The serving station of NTPC siding notified earlier as Korba is Now notified as Gevra Road.

** M/S Hindustan Steels Ltd.Siding served by Dadhapara is also Known as Hirri Mines siding.

It is re-iterated that as per directives issued by Board, no siding charges for both inward and outward traffic when received/dispatched as freight trains to/from these siding will be levied. But freight charges should be levied on through distance basis arrived at by reckoning the chargable distance as shown against each of the siding from /to serving station. For the traffic in piecemeal wagonload from these siding, the existing rate of siding charges for each siding will continue to be levied. Further, the above system may be allowed for all train load traffic going into the siding directly or indirectly with the engine pushing or pulling, provided there is no detention of engines except for change of ends and no separate shunting staff are required exclusively for this purpose.

All the siding notified in this circular are independent booking points for the purpose of charging freight on through distance basis. The concept of serving station need not be applied and the distance of the siding as notified should be taken into account without reference to the serving station, In case Railway locomotive is used for performing shunting inside the sidings, shunting charges for such shunting would be leviable as per AIEHC in vogue.

These issues with the concurrence of Finance.This will have effect from 15.12.2009.

S.C Railway have observed certain discrepancies regarding routing and charging via, shorter route instead of dearer route as per the Commercial Circular issued by SC Railway earlier. However, a copy of Commercial Circular No. 209 of 2009 is as given below for your ready reference.

In this connection it is reiterated the above matter as under.

The Goods Traffic booked over S.C Railway on from other Railways, from Sanathnagar to Cherlapalli and beyond, chargeable distances for Goods Traffic has to be reckoned via SNF-CHZ chord line using via., AMQX instead of via Secunderabad and vice-versa, since RBS is showing shortest route i.e via SC instead of SNF-CHZ chord line.

Hence, all the staff concerned should be advised that the traffic should be routed and charged via Chord line (SNF-CHZ) by using option in RBS.(Authority: CCM/SC Rly No. C.478/RQ/CRIS/ Misc/2010 date 02-02-2010)
