Correction slip No.24 to Indian Railways Commercial Manual Vol.I Para 618 may be revised as under:

33

Para 618 may be revised as under:-

The following procedure should be adopted for placing of indent for attachment of additional coach in train to clear waiting list:-

618: Clearance of wait –listed passengers- When the demand for reserved accommodation by any train is in excess of the actual availability as per normal train composition, the Assistant Commercial Manager (Reservation) or any other officer nominated by the administration at the Headquarters office should contact his counterpart in the operating branch for augmenting the train composition, if possible. A similar procedure should be followed at the Divisional Level where the Divisional Commercial Manager or the Assistant Commercial Manager should watch the waiting list and initiate action for making additional accommodation available in consultation with the officer concerned in the operating branch. It is important that the planning and implementation of attaching extra coaches to trains should be done sufficiently in advance so that the public may have as long a notice as possible of the additional accommodation being made available.

When it is possible to augment the load of a particular train, alternative arrangements to provide additional accommodation on other suitable trains should be made. For example , if accommodation by Golden Temple Mail train is not available and strengthening of it is also not feasible, accommodation by other trains, such as Paschim Express, should be increased as possible.

Sub:- Wrong charging of 40 feet container by the system

Please refer to FOIS letter No.CAO/FOIS/TMS/Rly.Ref/Pt-I/2011 dt 01.11.11 on the above mentioned subject. Inter alia referring to Board’s letter No.2007/TT-III/73/8 dt.01.07.2008, FOIS has mentioned that the system is charging 40 feet loaded container at 1.8 times the rate notified for a TEU upto 20T irrespective of the fact whether gross weight of the loaded container is more than 20T

The matter has been examined. Attention in invited to Note (3) of Rate Table annexed with Board’s Letter No.2007/TT-III/73/8 dt. 01.07.2008, which clearly stipulates that rates for 40 feet container will be 1.8 times of the rates for a TEU and the Rate Table prescribes ‘Haulage Rate per TEU for loaded container in three slabs namely ‘upto20T’, ‘above 20 T & upto 20 T’ and ‘above 26 T’, Thus, as per extant instructions, the rates for 40 feet containers will be 1.8 times of the rates for a TEU in their respective weight category.

Please refer to FOIS’ letter No.CAO/FOIS/TMS/ Rly. Ref/PT-I/2011 dt.20.12.2011 on the above mentioned subject.

As regards charging of 40 feet containers, it is stated that the instructions stipulated vide Board’s letter No.2007/TT-III/73/8 dt .01.07.2008, which are self contained , have only been reiterated vide this office’s letter of even number dt.15.12.2011.Therefore, the cause for any confusion at this stage in not readily apparent. The letter and spirit of the extant instructions that have been in force since July 2008 is, however, exemplified in the Illustration appended below:

Illustration: Let’s take the case of two wagons with same payload, one is loaded with two TEUs of 15 tonnes each and the other with one FEU weighing 30tonnes.One FEU is equivalent to two TEUs, as on one flat wagon one FEU or two TEUs can be accommodated. However, for haulage purposes, Haulage Rate per FEU will be 1.8 times of Haulage Rate per TEU in respective weight slab after converting weight of a FEU in equivalent TEU with conversion factor of 1FEU-2TEUs

Wagon carrying 2TEUs of 15tonnes each

Haulage Rate per TEU=‘P’(say). Haulage Charge for 2TEUs will be ‘P’+’P’=2P

Wagon carrying one FEU weighing 30tonnes.

In terms of TEU, the tonnage will be 30/2= 15tonnes per TEU.

Haulage Rate per TEU=’P’Haulage Rate per FEU+1.8 times ofHaulage Rate per TEU+1.8P

Indian Railway Code for Traffic (Commercial) Department Chapter-XVIII (Sidings) Advance Correction Slip No.21

First paragraph of Rule 1807 of Indian Railway Code for Traffic (Commercial) Department may be replaced by the following:

“1807: Where freight is levied from and to the serving station and separate siding charges are levied for haulage of wagons between the serving station and the siding , the siding charges should normally be fixed on the basis of cost per engine hour and the average time for a round trip from the serving station to the siding and back for placement and/or removal of wagons whether loaded or empty .The charges per trip should be arrived at by multiplying the average time taken for the trip by the cost of engine hour, as per the formula given below:

Siding Charge= Average trip time in minutes X (Engine Hour Cost ÷ 60)

The resultant of the above formula will be rounded off to the next higher value to arrive at the net Siding Charge. In case ‘average trip time’ is less than one hour, the Siding Charge will be levied for a minimum of one hour. Siding Charges for originating station so fixed should be included in the Invoice along with freight instead of being separately collected from the siding holder.”

Where the investment is not financially justified , the siding owners shall bear the full cost or the siding will be closed.

6 Guidelines For Cost Sharing For New As Well As Existing Sidings:

6.1 Electrification Cost:

New Siding Existing SidingFor a new siding in the electrified territory or the territory approved for electrification, the capital cost of OHE shall be borne by the siding owner. This shall also

a) For sidings of length upto 5TKM:Non-electrified sidings in an electrified territory or undergoing new electrification shall be electrified at Railway’s cost , if required in operational interest, for ensuring seamless operations Such siding shall be identified with the personal approval of COM.b) For sidings of length more than 5TKM:For all Sidings, if the rate of return (ROR) is at least 14% on traffic

53

apply to the military sidings

offered in the previous 24 months, the entire cost of electrification shall be borne by the Railways.If the ROR is less than 14% the cost of electrification shall be borne by the siding owner.

6.2 Maintenance Cost (Civil Engg.)

New Siding Existing Siding Maintenance shall be got done by the party at his own cost.Howevre, it has been decided that Railways would not charge “Inspection Charges”.

The existing practice of siding owners getting the maintenance done at their own cost shall continue.However, Railways shall not charge the “Inspection Charges”. Wherever track maintenance is being done by Railways at the cost of siding owner, the party shall continue to bear this cost.

6.3 Maintenance of OHE:

OHE maintenance cost for existing as well as new sidings shall be borne by the Railways

6.4 C&W Examination:

New Siding Existing Siding Normally no C&W facility shall be developed inside the plant/Yard.

8. Revival of Assisted Sidings:

8.1 It has been decided to revive the concept of Assisted Sidings. Under this concept Railways shall share the cost of a new Railway siding, if the industry comes up with a long-term commitment of traffic for 10 years or

54

more, commensurate with the investment of Railways

(i) Under this arrangement, Siding owners shall be required to bear cost of the land, earthwork, sub structure of the track, ballast and buildings outside the premises of the siding owner.

(ii) Cost of the removable super-structure including track, sleepers, fastenings girders of bridges, points & crossings fencing signaling & interlocking appliances, machineries of any kind and the overhead electric equipment outside the premises of the siding owner, shall be borne by the Railways.

8.2 However, in all other cases (where commitment of traffic for 10 years or more is not forthcoming), the siding owner shall bear the capital cost of the siding from the take off point at the serving station including OHE, in terms of Para4.1 and 6.1 (New Sidings)

9. Detailed Instructions For Sidings:

(i) The capital cost of all traffic facility works, such as ‘Y’ connection, yard remodeling, additional lines at the serving station, crossing stations, patch doubling of the section etc. shall be fully borne by the Railway, unless the customer decides to construct the facilities as per Para-4.3 of this Circular.

(ii) Regarding expenditure to be incurred on account of construction of the new siding, the private entrepreneur shall get detailed estimate of their siding vetted by the Division concerned. The detailed estimate shall include the break-up of their share as also Railway’s share of the total expenditure. The detailed estimate of Railway’s shall be according to the standardized cost of superstructure per km of track as issued by Civil Engineering Department. Separate cost shall be laid down for steel girders and PSC girders in case of bridges.

(iii) No supervision, inspection or establishment charges shall be payable by the siding owner for the above work, since in that case the expenditure incurred for these aspects would have to be paid back to them by Railways

(iv) The detailed estimate shall be approved by the DRM keeping the GM duly informed .Thereafter, the private entrepreneur shall undertake construction of the siding entirely at their cost.

(v) After completion of the siding, the actual expenditure incurred by the siding owner on behalf of Railways shall be verified by the Division. This verification shall be based on the certified audited accounts of the siding owner. Railways shall bear the actual cost incurred on the constructions, if it is found to be less than the estimated cost; otherwise the estimated cost shall be borne by the Railways.

(vi) Meanwhile, Division shall analyze the projected outward traffic volumes estimated to emanate annually from the siding after commissioning. This analysis shall be based on the traffic volumes projected by the siding owner in their application for Rail Transport Clearance (RTC) submitted to Planning Directorate of Railway Board.

(vii) Based on the projected outward traffic volumes,OD flows and commodity-wise freight charges per rake, Division shall work out the approximate duration for which a freight discount of 10% is required to be given.

(viii) The freight discount shall remain fixed at 10%.

(ix) The duration for which this discount is to be given shall depend on the time period of repayment of the expenditure incurred by the siding owner on behalf of Railways .However, such discount shall be admissible for a maximum period of 10 years only, irrespective of whether the investment made on behalf of Railways are recovered or not. The duration of freight discount shall be for less than 10 years in case the expenditure incurred is recovered in less time period.

(x) The above freight discount shall actually be the repayment of investment made on behalf of Railways, and is not really a freight rebate in the strictest sense of the term. As such, this freight discount shall be admissible in addition to all other rebates that the siding owner may become eligible for; such as lean season policy, empty flow direction, incremental loading etc.

55

(xi) Once the approximate duration of discount for a new siding has been worked out and approved by the Division, this discount shall be admissible on outward traffic booked from the siding.

(xii) All outward traffic loaded from the siding shall be the ‘paid’ traffic.

(xiii) For outward traffic originating from new sidings this discount shall be given up front in freight charges at the time of booking.

The Goods Clerk shall maintain a separate register containing details of all outward traffic moved alongwith discount given and the balance amount of repayment due to the siding owner.TIA and sectional CMI shall conduct post checks regarding this account-keeping on a quarterly basis.

(xiv) Discount shall be automatically discontinued and normal freight charged once the siding owner has been repaid the entire amount spent, or after 10 years period whichever is earlier.

(xv) Siding owner shall provide all facilities for provision of FOIS terminal in the siding.

(xvi) A part from the above aspect of sharing of cost for such sidings, all other rules pertaining to private sidings shall apply with respect to maintenance charges engine hire charges , demurrage rules etc.

(xvii) Division shall sign an Agreement with the siding owners stipulating details of removable structures whose expenditure has been charged to Railway and which Railways shall remove and take away in case of closure of siding for any reason whatsoever.

(xviii) The Agreement shall also stipulate commodity-wise projected level of outward traffic duration of freight discount etc.

10. Applicability of Liberalized siding Policy:

(i) New siding of a new plant being set up.

(ii) New siding of an existing plant that was earlier getting its inward & outward traffic dealt with at a nearby Railway Goods Shed.

(a) However, since the traffic being offered is not altogether new, the discount shall be given only for incremental outward traffic that is handled at the new siding over and above what was earlier being dealt with at Railway’s Goods Shed during the previous year.

(b) The incremental traffic mentioned above shall be calculated in terms of money value of freight paid (during the previous year after indexing for increase in freight charges), if any

(c ) The discount shall be given up front in freight charges at the time of booking. The goods clerk shall maintain details of all such outward traffic alongwith discount given in a separate register, as mentioned in Para 9(xiii) above.

(iii) It shall be applicable to all the sidings which are commissioned after 01.04.2005. This shall apply to both categories falling under para 10. (i) & (ii) above.

11. The Standard Siding Agreement shall be in the revised format , being issued separately.

been sought whether pooling account of Railway is required to be necessarily in the same bank where the customer bank is operative for e-payment facility.

The matter has been examined and it is to clarify that handling of both Railway’s as well as party’s account by the same bank is required to ensure seamless 27 x 7 transactions. Incidentally pooling account is an internal system requirement of SBI. This may not be necessary in case of other banks who are accredited for government business. A clarification vide Board’s letter No.2007/AC-II/45/12 dt.21.01.08 has been issued in this regard (copy enclosed).Further, Railway Board vide letter No.TC-1/2004/104/1-pt.dated 02.03.07 (superseded by Rates Circular No.39/2008) have already authorized all nationalised banks to participate in e-payment system of freight.

It may, therefore, be appreciated that pooling account is an inherent system requirement of SBI. This may not be necessary in case of other banks who are accredited for government business. Further, the pooling account being an internal account of SBI, there is no formal requirement of opening of pooling account. The procedure of remittance of Railway monies through pooling account as accepted by CGA and RBI should be followed subject to conditions as indicated in letters of even No.dt.4.1.2008 (copy enclosed) and 16.01.2008. Further, the basic standard norm of T+3/T+5’ would be required to be observed whether pooling account is maintained or not maintained by the banks.

This also disposes of reference made by West Central Railway vide their letter no.HQ/TA/T.Fin/EPs/07-08 dt 10.01.2008

3. The matter has been examined and it has been decided to add ‘Para 2.2.3 (a)’ below the ‘Para 2.2.3.’ of Rates Circular No.74 of 2005, as given below:

“2.2.3(a) In private /assisted sidings where placement/release of a rake from /to interchange point is done through siding owner’s loco,the guidelines for reckoning of excess detention when a loaded rake, after unloading, is allotted for back-loading shall be governed by the following guidelines:

The ‘excess’ detention (for the purpose of levying Demurrage Charge) would be reckoned after the expiry of total of the free time permitted separately for two activities, i.e.first unloading and then loading; total time taken for unloading and loading shall commence from the time of placement of the rake for unloading and conclude at the time the loaded rake is handed back to the railway at the designated point.

However, additional free time that may presently be extended in such situation, on account of shunting of the rake from the unloading point to the loading point within the siding would no longer be permissible; the time presently allowed for movement of the rake from the interchange point to the siding and vice versa, if any, would continue to be reckoned for calculation of admissible free time for loading/unloading.

67

Extant provisions in respect of Bunching Allowance on subsequent rakes shall continue to apply.”

Sub:- Notification of Distance of Howrah/ Sealdah /Kolkata as “0” Distance

It is clarified that Howrah /Sealdah /Kolkata stations are situated in different locations in the city of Kolkata though having rail route but no passenger services has been provided. Passengers are compelled to avail road route to go to any of route these three stations from either of these three stations. The rail route is meant for carrying foods traffic only. But all these three stations are serving only one city i.e Kolkata.

For this reason, the distance calculation from any station of other railways especially south bound train Mail /Exp and EMU services, becomes complex and not passenger friendly and are calculated via some unreasonable route. With a view to streamlining the process, the distances between any pair of these three stations are to be treated as “0’ distance at the time of calculation of distance from other railways. The distance calculation for combination of the sections should be rounded off to the next higher distance Kms only once e.g. Howrah- Kharagpur +115.50 Kms + Sealdah-Baruipur =24.74 Kms, Total= 140.24 Kms. Rounded off =141 Kms for Kharagpur – Baruipur Via Howrah/Sealdah. But it will be applicable for passenger traffic travelling in actual carried route.

In view of the above, the competent authority has decided that the distance between the above three stations is to be treated as ‘0’ distance henceforth.(Authority: CCM/E.Rly No. C.332/Junction Distance Table /Pt. IV /BF date 20.1.2012)(Authority : CCM/NWR No. C-543/2/2 E Rly Date: 01. 3.12 )
