Circular No. 36 of 2006)

Railways have been advised vide Board’s letter referred to above for awarding sole advertisement rights on an entire division. The divisions on which the pilot project was to be implemented were also identified. However, some railways have expressed inability in getting response for sole advertising rights for the entire nominated division. Board has re-examined the issue in the light of response from the zonal railways & the following changes/modifications have been approved.

1. In case there has been no response to sole advertisement rights for the nominated division either on inviting tenders or on contracting the advertisers, CCM may nominate any other division which has the potential for award of sole advertisement rights.

2. In case the entire division can not be nominated for award of sole advertisement rights, a cluster of stations may be selected for award of sole advertisement rights. In case advertisement rights cannot be given for even a cluster of stations. station as a whole may be given for sole advertisement rights. For large stations, where it has been experienced that it is not possible to give the entire station on sole advertisement rights, the station may be divided into convenient zones. The size of a zone for this purpose, however, should not be less than one platform.

3. The period of contract for piecemeal advertisement rights should be 3 to 5 years as per guidelines issued vide policy circular No.24 dated 9.5.2000 on commercial publicity.

4. In order to avoid delay in finalization of reserve price, the divisions are empowered to fix the highest annual earning realized from the zone /station/cluster of stations during the preceding 3 years as the reserve price for that zone /station/cluster of stations. However, in case it felt that the potential of the zone /station/cluster of station is higher, the reserve price can be fixed higher than the highest annual earning as mentioned above.

5. An escalation clause of 10% every year should be built-in all the agreements for contracts other than sole advertisement rights for entire division. In case, the Zonal Railways feel that the escalation clause can be kept higher due to the potential of the area being given for advertisement, the same may be revised upwards.

Other instructions contained in circular under reference will remain applicable.

Sub: Super fast surcharge.

In the past, a number of instruction have been issued on the criteria on declaration of trains as superfast, amount of superfast surcharge, when it is to be levied, etc. The instructions issued in the past on the above subject have been compiled and a copy of the same is given below

Superfast trains and surcharge:1) For declaring Mail/Express trains as superfast trains for the purpose of levy of

supplementary charge( i.e. superfast surcharge), only the average speed of the trains/ train is taken into consideration. For this purpose, the average speed of the train will be 55 Kmph or more on Broad Gauge trains and 45 Kmph or more on Metre Gauge trains. The average speed is calculated by dividing the end to end distance by total journey time. The average speed criteria need to be satisfied in both up and down directions for a particular pair of train. Zonal Railways themselves declare the train as superfast when it fulfils the requisite speed criteria. As an exception, Howrah – Kalka Mail has been categorized as a superfast train for travel between Delhi and Howrah only.

2) i) The rate of superfast surcharge, effective from 20/06/1998 is as under:

Class Superfast surcharge (Rs)Second 10Sleeper 20AC chair Car 30AC 3 tier 30First 30AC 2 tier 30AC first 50

Class Monthly superfast surcharge ticket Quarterly superfast surcharge ticketFirst and Second

Equivalent to superfast surcharge for 15 single journeys in the concerned class

Equivalent to superfast surcharge for 45 single journeys in the concerned class

3) Superfast surcharge is levied on all passengers, irrespective of distance, separately for each journey. On tickets involving more than one journey , i.e. where break journey is involved and circular journey tickets, superfast surcharge will be levied only once ( and not separately for each leg of journey).

4) In the case of Season tickets, superfast surcharge is levied subject to the provisions contained in the Season ticket rule.

Sub: Issue of RR after weighment of consignment at weighbridge (Rates Circular No. 86/2006

Instructions regarding issue of RR and weighment of rakes/wagons have been reviewed in Board’s office and it has been decided that Zonal Railways should follow the instructions/procedure as given below for weighment of rakes/wagons and issue of RR:-

A. Instructions

1. COM of each Railway will immediately notify the Associated weighbridge(s) at which rakes loaded at each loading point for each stream are required to be weighed and advise the same to all Zonal Railways and Board’s office. Approval of the COM of the concerned Zonal Railway should be taken if the Associated weighbridge lies in other Zonal Railway. Weighbridges which have been planned or are being planned, but are yet to be installed may also be notified. Weighment of loading done at stations served by these weighbridges till these become operational, will be done at an alternative weighbridge only if it is operationally not inconvenient as certified by COM of the Railway.

2. COM of each Railway will also notify Alternate Associated Weighbridge where weighment will be done if the Associated weighbridge is defective and advise the same to all Zonal Railways and Board’s office. Approval of the COM of the concerned Zonal Railway should be taken if the Alternate Associated weighbridge lies in other Zonal Railway. Weighbridges which have been planned or are being planned, but are yet to be installed may also be notified.

48

3. A reliable means of communication should be set up between the Associated and Alternate Associated weighbridges and the corresponding loading point for communicating results of the weighment to the loading point.

4. Means of communication mentioned above could be a FAX to begin with. Eventually, it has to be upgraded to inter-system communication between the weighbridge and the TMS module of FOIS. FOIS will provide TMS terminal at every weighbridge location. Railway should advise the commissioning of communication system at the weighbridge station, immediately after its commissioning.

4.1 However, if FOIS terminal is provided at the weighbridge station but interface between weighbridge and TMS is not developed, weighbridge staff should enter the weighment of wagons/rakes manually in the TMS module of FOIS provided at weighbridge station.

5. FOIS will develop an interface between the weighbridge and TMS so that the weighment information is directly transmitted from weighbridge to the TMS system.

B. Procedure for weighment of wagons/rakes and issue of RR

1. Loading point will prepare Vehicle Guidance (VG) in duplicate duly indicating the wagon No., CC, Tare, Consignor, Consignee etc and will hand over to the guard. This will be ensured by Station Supervisor / Goods supervisor of the concerned loading point.

2. The guards of the train will handover one copy of Vehicle Guidance (VG) to weighbridge clerk at weighment point. The weighbridge clerk will weigh the wagons duly indicating all the records of CC, Tare etc. The result of the weighment should be communicated to the loading point.

3. Weighment information from the Associated weighbridge location will be furnished to the loading point immediately. RR should be prepared in terms of Para 1451(c) of IRCM, Vol. II. which is being modified and Para 1451(d) of IRCM, Vol. II which is being inserted as under:

1451(c)

“ There should be no undue delay in the issue of Railway Receipts to consignors. Railway Receipts should normally be made over to the consignor within 24 hours from loading of the consignment. Concerned DCM/Sr. DCM of the loading points may however permit issuance of Railway Receipt not later than 48 hours from the time of completion of loading of goods to ensure that Railway Receipt is prepared on actual weighment details. If it is not possible to make over Railway Receipt within the above period as per actual weighment details, Railway Receipt should be prepared on the basis of Sender’ s Weight.”

1451(d)

“ However, in case of continuous Bank Holidays, force majeure conditions etc., DRM may allow further extension of time for issue of RR up to the next working day of the bank through a written authority.”

49

An advance correction slip No. 30 to IRCM Vol.II is enclosed for information and necessary action.

4. Remaining loading points will progressively switch over to issuing of RR only as per actual weighment details as and when their Associated weighbridges get commissioned. In case of those weighment points where FOIS terminal is not provided or out of order , possibility of feeding of data of weighment of rakes in nearby FOIS terminals, preferably on same division, may be explored.

5. An endorsement will be made in the RR indicating whether it has been prepared on the basis of sender’ s weight or actual weighment.

6. Punitive charges for overloading, if any, should be realized at the originating point itself and it should be mentioned in RR that rake has been weighed and all the charges including punitive charges collected. There should be some indication in FOIS against this train that it has been weighed. Re-weighment of such wagons/rakes at en-route/destination should normally not be done.

7. Since the information regarding weighment of the rake will be available in FOIS, the divisional control will ensure that all those rakes, which have not been weighed earlier, are positively weighed. Similarly, the rakes, which have been weighed earlier, should be reweighed only under special instructions of an authority not lower than DRM or under the instructions from officers of Vigilance department.

8. There may be cases where despite the weighbridge being functional, it is not possible to communicate the actual weighment details due to defective/failed communication network. In such cases, the concerned Railway will continue to issue RR on sender’ s weight and take necessary remedial measure.

8.1 CCM of Zonal Railway should monitor the cases of issue of RR on Sender’ s weight. DRMs, CCMs, CMEs and GMs should monitor defective weighbridges and put them right at the earliest.

9. If there are any loading points from which loaded rakes, cannot be weighed at any weighbridge, the concerned Railway will advise Railway Board accordingly and continue to issue RR on senders’ weight.

10. Weighment of rakes/wagons at associate weighbridge/alternate associate weighbridge conducted under these instructions shall be treated as weighment at forwarding station for all purpose.

11. The monthly progress report of compliance of these instructions should be sent to Board in MCDO.

These instructions will come into force w.e.f . 01.11.2006.

Objective: These concessions would be granted if circumstances so warrant with the objective of sustaining as well as increasing the rail borne traffic of a customer. The

60

Zonal railways should utilize this scheme depending upon the merit of the case with the sole objective of getting substantial traffic and resultant additional earnings vis – vis concessions offered. Flexibility has been built to enable framing suitable marketing strategies under widely varying circumstances.

II. Existing conditions mentioned in Rates circular 44 (under the “Condition” clause on page 2) shall be deleted and following conditions shall be added.

(a) Concession under this scheme can be given for a period up to three years and, therefore, can also be given for a minimum period of one year

In cases where concession has been granted for more than one year based on the commitment of the net freight earning and the corresponding concession in each year, the scheme shall be operated for each year separately independent of the performance in proceeding/following year.

The earning performance should be measured against the targets fixed for the concerned year at the time of initial notification of concession. The commitment of net freight earning in each year is required to be equal to or higher than the corresponding commitment in the previous year.

To illustrate, a customer commits to give net freight earning of Rs.70/- Crore in first year. In the subsequent years, the commitment of net freight earning can not be less than Rs.70/- crore. Now, say, the target for 1st

year and 2nd year been fixed at Rs.70/- crore and Rs.75/- crore respectively. If the customer gives net freight earning of Rs.90/- crore in the 1st year, the target of 2nd year will continue to remain at Rs.75 crore. However, if the customer does not give net freight earning of Rs.70 crore in the 1st year he will not get concession in the 1st year. But he will earning to be eligible for availing concession in 2nd year as per the target for the 2nd year.

(b) Eligibility in terms of freight earnings of Rs.50 crore in any year (12 months period) of contractual period will be decided based on the total net freight committed by a customer and will exclude all sorts of concession discount. For Example, if the gross freight committed by a customer is Rs.53 crore for a particular year (12 months period), the concession mentioned in clause (i) of Benefit shall be granted in such a manner that concessions/rebate etc is not less than Rs.50 crore in that year of the contractual period.

In case, the net freight earning committed by customer in any year of contractual period is less than Rs.50 crore, concession can be given only under clause (ii) of benefit mentioned in the scheme.

(c ) Total committed earnings of a specific customer from one or more terminals in the same zone may be taken into account to determine whether he fulfills the criterion of net freight earnings of Rs.50 crore.

61

(d) Net freight earning from only outward traffic of all commodities shall be reckoned for determining earning as well as for the purpose of grant of any freight concession. Inward traffic shall not be considered for the above purpose.

(e) Freight concession can be given either on incremental or entire traffic offered by customer depending on the situation, with the purpose of maximizing net earnings and increasing rail co-efficient. Such concessions can be given either at a suitable uniform rate for the entire period or at graded (differential) rates. The graded rates could be on the basis of quantum of traffic, Periods of the contract or any other parameter considered suitable singly or in combination. However, concession on entire volume of traffic should be given only in exceptional circumstances where such incentives are considered justified.

(f) If the tariff rate changes after the finalization of the concession and issue of notification, the freight earnings target shall be modified as under:

(i) If the tariff rate decreases, there will be no change in freight earning targets.

(ii) If the tariff rate increase, the freight earning target shall be revised using following formula.

agreement.

(g) A customer can avail of incentives under more than one Scheme (Long Term special Incentive Scheme, Incentive Scheme for incremental traffic, Loyalty Scheme and Traditional Empty Flow Direction Scheme or any other such scheme).

In order to be eligible for consideration for concessions under clause (i) of Benefit as mentioned in this scheme, the customer will have to offer a commitment of net freight earning of at least Rs 50 Crore in twelve month period exclusively for this scheme. In no case, the same volume of originating traffic will avail concessions under more than one scheme unless and until such concurrent benefit has been permitted specifically vide parta on concurrency indicated earlier.

(h) In case of rebate, refund will be calculated & granted after end of every 12months of the contractual period.

62

(i) These concessions would be subject to the condition that the discounted /rebated freight rates would not be lower than Class LR1 in Lean Season and Class 100 in the Busy season.

(j) For the purpose of reckoning fulfillment of target under this scheme loading and freight earning will deemed to have been accrued if the empties (wagons) have been placed against indents for free destinations before the completion of the contractual period, subject to the condition that such wagons are actually loaded without any forfeiture or cancellation.

III Existing formulation mentioned in Rates Circular 44 (under the “Benefit “ clause on page 2 ) shall be replaced with the followings.

” to do away with the instructions prescribed vide Paras 2.2.2 & 2.2.3 of RatesCircular No.74 of 2005 and Board’s letter No.TC-I/95/201/2 dt.23.11.1995, and

“ to incorporate new Paras 2.2.2 & 2.2.3 in Rates Circular No.74 of 2005 as mentioned below:

“2.2.2 Reckoning of free time in goods sheds, Railway sidings and such private /assisted sidings where placement/release of rake is done through Railway’s loco

(a) If a rake is placed in one spur in one placement:

Free time will be reckoned from the time of placement of the rake. Demurrage will be charged on excess detention which will be calculated as under:

‘Excess detention = (time of release – time of placement) - free time’(refer Illustration No.1 at Annexure)

(b) If a rake is placed in one spur in multiple placements:

The free time will start with the placement of 1st part of the rake. However, intervening periods between the time of completion of loading/unloading of the 1st part and time of placement of 2nd part of the same rake for loading/unloading, between the time of completion of loading/unloading of the 2nd part and time of placement of 3 rd part of the same rake for loading/unloading and so on, should be treated as dies-non.

Demurrage will be charged on excess detention which will be calculated as under:

‘Excess detention = (time of release of the last part – time of placement of first part) – free time – total period of dies non’

(refer Illustration No.2 at Annexure)

(c) If a rake is placed in more than one spurs:

Free time for the entire rake will commence from the time of placement of firstpart of the rake.

Demurrage charges will be calculated on the basis of deemed released time of the rake (after adjustment of dies non period). A rake will be deemed to have been released at the time at which the last wagon is released irrespective of the group/spur in which this wagon was placed.

If the time interval between first placement and subsequent placements (i.e. between 1st placement & 2nd placement, between 1st placement & 3rd placement, and so on) is more than two hours, then such excess time interval of over two hours shall be treated as dies non. This dies non period, wherever applicable, will be deducted from the actual release time of the respective placements to arrive at deemed release time.

Demurrage will be charged on excess detention which will be calculated as under:

‘Excess detention = (deemed release time of the rake – time of 1st placement) – free time’

75

Deemed release time of a placement will be calculated as under:

‘Deemed release time of a placement = actual release time of that placement – dies non, if applicable’

Deemed released time of the rake will be the time at which the last wagon of the rake has been deemed to be released. For example, if the deemed released time of first placement is 1200 Hours, second placement is 1400 Hours and third placement is 1300Hours, then 1400 Hours will be the deemed release time of that rake.


2.2.3 Demurrage rule in case of private/assisted sidings where placement/release of arake from/to interchange point is done through siding owner’s loco.

In addition to permissible free time for loading/unloading of wagons, Bunching Allowance of 3(three) hours will be permissible as per following conditions:

Bunching allowance will be allowed for both loading as well as unloading stream of traffic (commodity wise). It will be granted to such rakes which have arrived in bunched manner in excess of the handling capacity of the siding. It will be permitted for calendar day only and will not have cumulative effect i.e. not extendable beyond odd hours. The allowance should be calculated on actual arrival basis.


Handling capacity of a siding will be fixed as under:

“Existing siding: Handling capacity of an existing siding will be the actual handling capacity or deemed handling capacity, whichever is higher. Deemed handling capacity is the average consumption of rakes per day during 1st January to 30th April escalated by 1.5 times & rounded off to the next integer. (refer IllustrationNo.5 at Annexure)

“New siding: Handling capacity will be fixed provisionally keeping in view the handling system, production capacity, linkage, deemed handling capacity of similar type of siding etc.

“Handling capacity of a siding thus fixed should be reviewed every year in the Month of May & will be notified for the next year starting from July to June, or at the time of change in infrastructure including handling system, consumption pattern or linkage of the siding, whichever is earlier.

“However, for the period from 1.1.2007 to 30.6.2007, handling capacity of sidings should be fixed before 1.1.2007 keeping in view the actual handling capacity and the deemed handling capacity. Deemed handling capacity will be computed on the basis of average consumption per day during 1.1.2006 - 30.4.2006.

Demurrage on a rake will be charged after allowing the permissible free time for loading/ unloading of wagons and bunching allowance, wherever applicable. Grant of free time and levy of demurrage on a rake will be linked with the handling capacity of the siding ”

Sub: Operation of wagon Investment scheme (WIS).

Some of the railways have been finding it difficult to handle fresh/pending applications under wagon Investment Scheme (WIS), especially for iron ore traffic, due to apprehensions about ability to handle committed traffic. Wagon Investment Scheme has an inbuilt incentive for the customer to stay with the railways and investment under it should be most welcome. However, if it becomes inescapable to make a choice then following guidelines should be followed:

i) Domestic traffic, which necessarily includes CBT customers, to get preference over export traffic.

ii) Within domestic traffic, CBT customers to get preference over non-CBT customers.

iii) At the same station if loading / unloading (in that order) is from a siding, it will get preference over another person handling from general goods-shed line.

Period of permission for procuring the rake(s) be explicitly stated as only one year. It should automatically expire after one year, unless specific prior extension is given based on proof of financial commitment for purchase of rake.

This issues with approval of Traffic Transportation directorate of Railway Board.

Sub: Installation of weighbridge in private sidings.

Please refer to Board’s letter No. 2002/CE-1/SP/1 of date 12/07/2005 vide which revised standard form of Agreement for Private Sidings was issued. As per clause No. 9 of the above said agreement, the applicant (private siding holders) shall provide and maintain at their own cost and expertise a suitable electronic weighbridge.

Central Railway have stated that there are number of sidings established since long and they are not having any weighbridge. However, no cases related with overloading has been detected so far, for the commodities loaded from these sidings and suggested that the provision of weighbridge should be applicable for the new siding and not for existing sidings.

The matter has been examined. Board have decided that clause 9 of above said agreement for installation of suitable electronic weighbridge should be mandatory for new private sidings and in case of old sidings installation of weighbridge may not be mandatory. However, efforts should be made to install a suitable weighbridge in case of old sidings.

Sub:- Stations /Sidings serving Ports, on S.E Railway for booking of traffic in Iron Ore.

Vide Board’s Rates Circular No. 69 of 2005 (notified over S.E Rly under Rates circular SL No. -218 (G) /2005 ), classification of Iron Ore booked to ports was revised from class -160 to class-180. Subsequently a corrigendum to this was issued by Board which was notified over S.E Railway vide Spl. Rates Circular SL No. -229(G)/2005 that revised classification 180 of “Iron Ore booked to Ports” will be applicable for “Iron Ore booked to stations /sidings serving Ports.

It was also clarified by Board vide letter No. TCR/1078/2005/5 dt.09.12.2005 (notified vide S.E Rly’s Rates Circular SL No. -236(G)/2005) that rebooking of Iron Ore from stations to Port will not be permissible.

Now, as advised by Board vide letter No. TCR/1078/2005/5 dt 17.05.2006, Zonal Railways are required to jointly notify stations /sidings on their Railway which primarily deals with inward traffic of Iron Ore meant for Ports.

It has already been notified vide S.E Railway’s Spl Rates Circular SL No.127 (G)/2006 that with effect from 20.07.2006 all incoming rakes of coal for TNEB and inward rakes of iron ore meant for Haldia Dock Complex should be booked and charged to HDCB only.

It is therefore, clarified that Iron Ore traffic charged at class 180, at present, and meant for Haldia Dock should be booked to HDCB only which is the point serving the Haldia Port for this purpose.
