Sub:-Apportionment of the cost of the Railway Magistrates their court staff and the police for force attached to them and crediting of judicial fine.

The Government of India have had under consideration the question of apportionment of the cost of the Railway Magistrates, their court staff and the police force attached to them and the crediting of judicial fine. The state governments were also addressed vide this Ministry’s letter of even number, dated 2nd June, 1979 (copy enclosed) to examine the following three alternatives in regard to the apportionment of cost of Magistrates, their court staff and the police force attached to them and the crediting of judical fine and indicate their preference :-( 1) the entire cost should be borne by the Railways and the fines should be credited to them or(II) the entire cost should be borne by the State Governments and the fines should be credited to them, or(III) the cost incurred and the judicial fines realised should be shared on a 50:50 basis between the State Governments and the Railways.

2. The matter has been considered in consultation with the Ministry of Law, keeping in view the replies received from State Governments.

The amount of fine collected pursuant to the orders passed by the Magistrate in respect of the offences committed under the Railways Act is payable to the State government just as the fines in respect of the offences under the other central Acts like the Imports and Exports (control ) Act Prevention of Food adulteration Act, etc. are also credited to the Public account or Revenue Account, as the case may be of the state government.

The Administration of Criminal justice is the concern of the State Governments. The Magistrate uncer Cr. P.C are apointed by the State Government. The fact that the Magistrates in the discharge of their duties have also been conferred jurisdiction to try cases under the Railways Act make no difference in the above position .

In view of the above facts alternative (ii) mentioned in para 1, is considered to be the proper course to follow.

3- It is requested that the concurrence of the States Government to the above arrangement may kindly be communuicated direct to the Ministry of Railways (Railways Board) under intimation to this Ministry.____________________________________________________________________

Sub:- Loading of Two points rake and Multi points rake for grant of trainload rate.

In terms of Para 5.0 (Transportation Products) of Rates Circular No.25 of 2008, provisions for granting of trainload rate benefit for loading of Two points rake and Multi points rake have been stipulated wherein it has inter-alia been mentioned that ‘a minimum of 10 wagons should be loaded for each originating/destination”.

Instances have come to the notice of Board that there are no endorsements on Railway Receipt (RR) regarding number of wagons booked for/from each point.In such a situation, it is difficult for the destination station to know whether trainload conditions are complied with at each point. This lacuna may be misused by vested interests.

To arrest the possible misutilisation of the existing provisions and to pluck the possible leakage of revenue on this account, it is advised that each RR should bear suitable endorsement by cross referencing the other RR (if any) regarding number of

47

wagons booked for/from each point so as to confirm whether trainload conditions are complied with or not

Department modified vide Advance Correction Slip No. 12 has sought certain clarification as regards waiver of Demurrage /Wharfage Charge.

The matter has been examined and clarifications are as under:-

Query Clarification1 There are cases in which amount

waived by CCM is less than Rs. 25,000/- per wagon/consignment for

In terms of Para 1102 (d) , cases submitted to GM should be routed through the Co-ordinating HOD of the

48

which Finance concurrence is not required. When appeal against such cases is to be put up to GM, should it be routed through FA& CAO for concurrence.

Commercial Department and FA & CAO, irrespective of the amount involved.

2 At times, amount accrued is beyond the power of CCM and the case is to be put up to GM, through FA&CAO, for waiver . CCM recommends waiver in general in view of the merit of the case. Finance wants CCM to indicate percentage of waiver recommended as the case is beyond the power of CCM and GM has to take a decision on the percentage of waiver. Should CCM recommend percentage of waiver ?

In terms of Para 1102 (c), the cases for waiver should not be dealt by an officer below the level of officer competent to deal with the case as per the schedule of powers. Hence, CCM will not deal with such case where GM is the competent authority. Since waiver of Demurrage/Wharfage is discretionary power. CCM cannot recommend percentage of waiver. He should only put up facts of the case and give his remarks on the customer’s appeal.

4.0 Procedure for notifying a railway owned terminal as Container Rail Terminal(CRT)

60

4.1 If there is a demand for creating a CRT at any railway owned location, it will be processed by CCM in consultation with COM to examine whether such demand is considered necessary and justified. If it is found justified, such a terminal will be notified as a Container Rail Terminal (CRT) with the personal approval of GM.

4.1.1 All Group III goods sheds will be treated as CRTs, unless and otherwise notified to the contrary by the Zonal Railway.

4.2 Before notifying any rail facility as a CRT, it must be ensured that the contemplated container handling activity will not in any way hinder or restrict or hamper handling of inward or outward traffic in rail wagons at present and as far as possible, even in the foreseeable future.

4.3 Preferably stations and goods sheds not currently open for goods booking or unused yard lines (including unused yard line at goods sheds notified in Groups I and II) with adequate road access should be considered for notification as CRT.

4.4 Stations and goods sheds notified in Group I or Group II in terms of Rates Circular No.21 of 2007 will not be permitted for notification as CRT. However, on a trial basis, Group I & II stations, other than those stations mentioned in Annexure, may also be considered for notifying as CRT for chassis stuffing/destuffing operation only provided the chassis operation of container rakes at such station does not affect the railway’s operation of loading/unloading of its own stock.

It may also be kept in view that handling of chassis operation by PCOs does not lead to diversion of rail traffic to container.

4.5 Every CRT will have a capacity of dealing with one container train only at a time.

If suitable placement lines and adequate ground area is available for dealing with more than one container train concurrently in a Terminal or Yard, the available lines and ground area should be demarcated for notifying more than one separate and independent CRTs at such railway goods sheds or unused yard lines.

4.6 Permission to use any railway owned terminal as CRT can be terminated by the concerned Zonal Railway after giving a notice of two weeks, if circumstance so warrant in the opinion of the concerned GM. Such decisions will be binding on the PCOs.

5. This issues with the concurrence of Finance and Traffic Transportation Directorates of the Ministry of Railways.

6. These instructions will be effective w.e.f.01.11.2009 and will be valid upto 31.10.2010..

Sub:-Concession in freight to co-users of private siding.

Reference is invited to Southern Railway’s letter No.C.493/I/FIS/Vol.II/Part dated 21 .08.2009 wherein SR has sought clarification whether the incentive scheme for Traditional Empty Flow Direction for the traffic booked at private/assisted siding is also applicable to customers who offer their traffic co-user from other’s siding.

62

The issue has been examined. It is clarified that a siding should be treated as one entity for the purpose of “Incentive Scheme for Traditional Empty Flow Direction-Private siding” and the entire traffic loaded from the siding in current year should be compared with the total loading of the siding in the benchmark year. The benefit of the incentive under subject scheme should be given to siding owner, who can pass on the benefit to co-users of the siding. However, the benefit will be granted subject to the conditions that (i) co –users were permitted to use other’s siding under the provision of clause 15 of private siding agreement before the notification of Incentive scheme (RC No25 of 2008) and (ii) the increase in loading from the siding should have resulted in generation of additional traffic and not mere diversion of existing traffic.

31 Two Point Rake : This is a freight train carrying wagons destined for two terminals.32 Year : Period from 1st January to 31st December of the same year.

3.0 Processing Procedure

A Customer will be able to participate in any of the Freight Incentive Schemes only if he specifically applies for the same except for those Schemes which explicitly mention that such an application is not required. The detailed procedure for processing a proposal received from a customer regerding any of the freight incentive schemes is given below. However, if a specific Scheme prescribes an alternate procedure, the same will apply to that specific Scheme.

1. Customers will apply to the Divisional Railway Manager of the concerned Division for grant of benefits under the specific Freight Incentive Scheme they wish to participate in.

2 These applications will include details as applicable in respect of their monthly NTKMs for 2 previous years say, from 1st January 2008 to 30th September 2009. Figures for the 3 month period from 1st October 2009 to 31st December 2009 should be furnished subsequently on completion of the period. The application should also indicate the type of wagons used in case of Incentive scheme for Traditional Empty Flow Direction. The application should be supported by documents duly authenticated by the Station Manager/Chief Goods Supervisor of the concerned terminals.

3 The proposals will be passed on to the nominated DEC to verify the accuracy of the data furnished by the customer. DEC role will be limited to merely verifying the data furnished by the customer by visiting the concerned siding or goods shed as the case may be.

72

4 The DEC must submit its report within fifteen days of receipt of the proposal from the division. In case of variation in figures between the applicant and DEC, those of latter will prevail.

5 Proposals submitted by customers, duly vetted by the DEC, will be put up by (Senior) Divisional Commercial Manager to Divisional Railway Manager through (Senior) Divisional Operations Manager for issue of an Authorization to the Goods Supervisor of the concerned terminal for maintaining necessary records and granting admissible freight Concessions. In case the customer’s application for participation in an Incentive Scheme is not approved, then a Regret Letter will be issued.

6. Before issuing the notification authorizing grant of discounted freights to an applicant, Divisional Railway Manager must ensure that restrictions in respect of concurrent operation of the Freight Incentive Schemes as well as the conditions as specified in the relevant Scheme are complied with.

7. Freight concessions under these Incentive Schemes should generally be granted by means of discounted freight rate at the time of issue of Railway Receipt itself. Grant of freight rebate involving refunds after completion of the contract period should be adopted only if particular conditions of a case require it or if a Scheme explicitly prescribes it . However, if a Customer so desires he can specifically request for the concession to be given as a refund although the scheme permits discount to be givin at the time of issue of RR.

8. The Authorization or Regret Letter mentioned under Item (5) above must be issued to the Customer and Goods Supervisor of the concerned terminals with a copy to DEC and Dy.CAO/TA. If the destination terminal falls on a different division, a copy of the authorization letter should be sent to the concerned CCM and DRM.

9. For each customer who has been granted benefit under these schemes, commercial staff at the concerned terminal will maintain detailed account of NTKMs earned both for the current period and the average NTKMs of corresponding periods of 2 previous years.

10. Commercial staff at the concerned terminal will issue a message to the concerned (Senior) Divisional Commercial Manager and Dy.CAO/TA as soon as a customer becomes eligible for freight concession advising start of grant of discounted freight. On receipt of such a message the DEC will be instructed to visit the concerned terminal for post check of fulfillment of condition for grant of discounted freight. Grant of discounted freight rate will start as soon as the qualifying coditions are fulfilled without waiting for post check inspection by DEC.

11. Freight Incentive Schemes have been framed for universal applicability over all zonal railways and connot take care of specific/peculiar requirement of particular stream of traffic moving over individual divisions /Zones. In case division/zone finds that there is adequate Justification for freight concessions for such type of traffic which are not

73

covered under any of the Freight Incentive Schemes, then detailed proposals for freight concessions (i) beyond the powers delegated to DRMs , (ii) new streams of traffic (iii) traffic excluded from the purview of freight incentive schemes etc., should be forwarded to Railway Board for consideration with approval of COM, CCM, concurrence of FA & CAO and personal approval of GM Proposals not complying with this procedure will not be processed at the Board.

4.0 Freight Incentive Schemes4.1 Incentive Schemes for Loading Bagged Consignments in Open & Flat wagons.

Objective :Normally, bagged consignments take a longer time to load in Open and Flat wagons and also need to be covered with tarpaulins. In addition to above, in some cases their loadability is also less. This scheme aims to facilitate such loading.

Incentive:Following freight discounts will be granted on NTR for loading bagged consignments in Open and Flat wagons. Commodities % discountAll types of Fertilizers (except Rock Phosphate)Bentonite Powder, Cement, China Clay, DOC, Foodgrain, Lead/Zinc concent rate,Quicklime, Soap stone powder.

20%

Fly ash,Urea 30% Floor Rates:

Minimum chargeable freight after all concessions should not be less than NTR of Class LR-1.

Permitted Terminals; All.Restricted Commodities:

Other than those mentioned above.

Lead Reastriction :

Not less than or equal to 100Kms.

Permitted Wagons:

Open and Flat wagons.

Concurrent Freight Concessions:

74

Freight concession under following Schemes will be permitted concurrently with concessions under this scheme.

(i) 6% concession to and from North East.(ii) TIELS & Liberalized Siding Rules.

(iii) Incentive scheme for Traditional Empty Flow Direction. (iv)Incentive scheme for Incremental Traffic.

Concurrent concessions will be given one after the other on the discounted NTR.

Processing Procedure:

A customer need not apply for grant of incentive under this Scheme.Railways will give applicable freight discount on compliance of provisions of this scheme.

Conditions:1. Commodities should only be loaded in standard size bage of upto a maximum of

100 Kgs.2. Tarpaulins, if any for covering the BOXN wagons should be provided by the

consignors at their own cost.3. Consignors will be required to furnish an undertaking on the forwarding note giving

their consent to loading in BOXN wagons and to the effect that they would bear full risk for damage/pilferage of the consignments.

4. Supply of wagons for loading under the Scheme will be subject to operational feasibility.

4.2Incentive Scheme for Traditional Empty Flow Directions

Objective:

The main objective of this policy is to generate additional traffic from sidings and goods sheds for loading in Inter-Zonal and Intra-Zonal Traditional Empty Flow Direction across which traffic movement traditionally comprises predominantly of empty wagons in order to achieve improved utilization of rolling stock.

Traditional Empty Flow Directions:

Notified Inter-Zonal Traditional Empty Flow Directions are enclosed as Annexure-I. Notified Intra-Zonal Traditional Empty Flow Directions are enclosed as Annexure-II.Incentive:Slabs of freight discount on NTR for traffic loaded in the notified Traditional Empty Flow Directions are as under:Distance slab for TEFD All TerminalsLEAD< 500Kms NilLEAD More than 500Kms. And upto600kms.

10%

75

LEAD More than 600 Kms.and upto 700 kms

20%

LEAD More than700 Kms.and upto 900 kms

30%

LEAD More than 900kms.and upto 1200 Kms

35%

LEAD> 1200kms 40%Note : The net freight for distances falling in the higher slab should not be less than the net freight for the maximum distance in the lower slab.

Floor Rates:

Minimum chargeable freight after all concessions should not be less than NTR of Class LR-I.

Benchmark:

(i) Average Month wise NTKM performance for the 2 previous years i.e. 1.01.08-31.12.08 and 1.01.09-31.12.09 for the same commodity from the same terminal . Benchmark will be fixed on monthly basis only. For subsequent years, NTKM figures for 2 immediate previous years will be taken.For calculating the benchmark only traffic for >100 kms. distance will be considered. However, concession will be available only for traffic having lead of >500 Kms. after the monthly benchmark has been crossed.Example : If a customer who is loading cement has achieved 200 NTKMs in BCN rakes and 100 NTKMs in BOXN rakes (average of January 2008 and January 2009 ) then his benchmark for cement for the for the month of January 2010 will be 300 NTKMs: and he will start getting the discount for cement only for traffic having lead of >500 Kms. In TEFD only after he crosses this benchmark. This will ensure that there is no diversion of traffic from one generic type of stock to another.

(ii) Rake,on the loading of which benchmark NTKM has been crossed, will not be eligible for concession. Customer will start getting concession from the next rake onwards.Example; A customer’s benchmark NTKMs on the basis of his average for a particular month over last 2 years is 1000. suppose, after completing 8 th rake his cumulative NTKMs is 910. In the 9th rake he earns 100 NTKMs. Therefore, after completing 9th rake his cumulative NTKM becomes 1010. Then in that case he will start getting rebate from the 10th rake onwards. Similar principle will be followed for other NTKM slabs also.

14.For indent of less than rake size, supply of wagons will be made only for full rake. After loading, the entire rake will move carrying both the loaded and empty wagons. Block rake will not be split up for loading this category of traffic.

4.4Incentive Scheme for Incremental Traffic

Objective: This Scheme aims to generate additional business volumes. Incentive: Discounts in the freight rate (NTR) will be granted for the Incremental NTKMs at the time of issue of Railway receipt itself. The percentage discount in freight rate would be as indicated in each slab of incremental NTKMs in the following table.Slabs of freight concessions are as under:

Slabs of Incremental NTKMs Percentage Discounts on Applicable Freight Charges

(a) 10% ≥Inc.NTKMs. Nil

(b) 20% ≥Inc. NTKMs.>10% 10% on the Increment beyond 10%

80

(c) 30% ≥Inc.NTKMs.>20% (b)+ 20% on the Increment beyond 20%(d) Inc. NTKMs.>30. (b) +(c)+30% on the Increment beyond

30%

Floor Rate:Minimum Chargeable freight after all concessions should not be less than NTR of Class LR-1.Benchmark:(i)Average annual NTKMs during 2 Previous Years. Banchmark for becoming eligible for

discount will be 10% More than the average.(ii) Rake, onwhose loading benchmark NTKM has been crossed, will not be eligible for

concession. Customer will start getting concession from the next rake onwards.Example is given below:

A customer’s average NTKMs for last 2 years is 1000. In that case his benchmark NTKMs will be 1100 (+10%) . Suppose, after completing 8th rake his cumulative NTKMs is 1010. In the 9th rake he earns 100 NTKMs. Therefore, after completing 9 th rake his cumulative NTKM becomes 1110 (.>10%). Then in such a case he will start getting rebate from the 10 th rake onwards. Similar Principle will be followed for other NTKM slabs also.Permitted Terminals: AllRestricted Commodities: Commodities listed at para 1.4.Lead Restriction: Minimum 100Kms.Permitted Wagons: All types of wagons.Seasonal Restriction: Scheme available for one full year at a time (from 1st January to 31st December).Concurrent Freight Concessions:Freight concession under following schemes will be permitted concurrently with concessions

(iv)Incentive scheme for Traditional Empty Flow Direction. (v)Incentive scheme for Freight Forwarders.Concurrent Concessions will be given one after the other on the discounted NTR.

Conditions:1. No freight concessions will be admissible in case of New Traffic.2. This scheme will be applied to each terminal separately and independently for

customers operating multiple terminals.

81

3. If a customer is dealing with more than one commodity at a single terminal (for example cement & clinler ), then combined NTKMs from different commodities should be taken into consideration for deciding the eligibility under this scheme.

4. NTKMs from a terminal to any number of destinations will be eligible under the Scheme.

5. Concessins will be given at the stage of issue of RR itself on incremental NTKMs over the annual benchmark . However, if incremental NTKMs have been loaded before issue of notification (in terms of para 8), then freight rebate will be granted.

6. For the year 2010, opplication for availing this discount must be submitted by customers latest by 31st January 2010. Divisions/Zones will not have any discretion for entertaining any application after that date.

7. For the year 2010, customers must submit data for the period from 1st January 2008 to 31st December 2008, and from 1st January 2009 to 31st Decmber 2009.

8. Applications received from customers must be finalized within 45 days at the Divisional level, latest by 15th March 2010.Notification indicating the benchmark must be issued by 15th March 2010.

Sub:- Computation of Detention Charges and Engine Haulage Charges.(Rates Circular No. 63 of 2009)

A clarification has been sought regarding computation of Detention charges and Engine Haulage Charges in case of colliery sidings located far away from the weighment

104

point, where overloaded wagon/wagons have to be sent back to collieries for adjustment after weighment.

The matter has been examined and the following clarifications are issued:

1. Railway should make maximum efforts for adjustment of overloaded wagon at the weighment point itself or at subsequent point and detention charges may be levied as per extant rules.

2. In case where it is inevitable to send back detached overloaded wagons to loading /adjustment point for adjustment of load in wagon and the remaining rake is moved to destination then the following methodology will be adopted for the calculation of Engine Haulage Charges and Wagon Detention Charges:

(a) Engine Haulage Charges : If Railway loco is utilized for sending back the overloaded wagon/wagons to the loading /adjustment point for load adjustment, Engine Haulage Charges will be levied for the actual time required in hauling such wagons from weighment point to the loading /adjustment point. In case, railway loco is specially brought from other station, then Engine Haulage Charges will be levied for the entire time period for bringing the railway loco from that station to the loading /adjustment point.

Engine Haulage Charges will be calculated on the basis of cost per Engine Hour and time period as mentioned above subject to a minimum of one hour. The extant Engine Hour Cost is notified vide Rates Circular No. 31 of 2009.

(b) Wagon Detention Charges: In such cases, Detention Charges will be levied on the entire rake from the time of completion of 1st weighment to the time of release of balance rake for onward journey after detachment of overloaded wagons as per extant instructions. In addition, Detention charges will also be levied on detached overloaded wagons from the time of detachement to the completion of load adjustment /final weighment.

This issues in consultation with Traffic Transportation Directorate and concurrence of Finance Directorate of Ministry of Railways.

Sub:- Installation of electronic in-motion weighbridge.

In terms of item No. 9 of revised Standard form of agreement for private sidings issued vide Board’s letter No. 2002/CE-1/SP/1 dated 12.07.05 and Board’s Rates circular No.12/2007 dated 12.02.07, electronic –in-motion weighbridge is to be installed at the sidings.

Instances have come to the notice of Board that at some sidings, static weighbridges are still being used and RRs are being issued on the basis of weighment of such static weighbridges.

In-motion weighbridge is preferred to static weighbridge as it entails weighment of rakes in motion thereby reducing detention to rolling stock. This in turn increases the availability of rolling stack for more loading, which is beneficial to both Railways as well as customers.

There are also some static weighbridges, whose weighment is not being accepted presently and RR is not being issued on the basis of weighment on these static weighbridges. Requests have been received to issue RR on the basis of weighment on such static weighbridge. It has been decided that no request of customer in this regard will be considered.

In addition to above, it has been decided that existing static weighbridges whose weighments are presently accepted by Railways may be replaced with in-motion weighbridges or arrangement may be made to have weighment at associated /alternative

106

associated in-motion weighbridges as per Board’s Rates Circular No 86/2006 latest by 31.03.11. From 01.04.11, the weighment on such static weighbridge shall not be accepted by Railways and RR will not be issued on the basis of weighment on static weighbridge. Further, such weighment will not be recognized by Railways for any purpose.

Where weighment on static weighbridge is being accepted at present by Railways for the purpose of preparation of RR and otherwise, the same can continue till 31.03.11. However, in such case, Railway should ensure compilance of the following conditions.1. The railway track must be level for at least 60 meters i.e.equivalent to about 2 wagons length on either side of weighbrige.

2. The wagons must stay loose i.e.these should not be any contact in the coupling forces of adjacent wagons.

3. There should not be any movement of the wagons during weighment.

Railways may hold meeting with siding owners having static weighbridges and ensure compliance of aforesaid instructions.

In case of specific constraints where static weighbridge cannot be replaced by in-motion weighbridge or weighment connot be done at associated /alternative associated weighbridges of a particular siding, the Railway should approach Board and obtain specitic exemption.

This issues with the approval of Traffic Transportation and Finance Directorates of the Ministry of Railways.

Sub:- Exemption to bagged consignment from weighment Issue of RR.

In terms of Board’s letter of even number dated 05.06.2007 (Rates Circular No. 61/2007) all consignment loaded in standard bags of uniform size were exempted from mandatory weighment at the weighbridges. Only random surprise checks were to be conducted by Vigilance & Commercial Departments.

107

It implies that RR for these consignment should be issued on the basis of standard weight of bags without weighment of the same. Random surprise checks should be conducted to check the weight of consignment after the issue of RR.

Complaints have been received that RRs for the bagged consignment are not being issued till the rake is weighed in routine manner. Such practice, if followed by any of the Zonal Railways, is not in conformity with the extant instructions.

Zonal Railways are advised that the extant instructions in the matter may be followed scrupulously.
