Sub: Haulage charges for postal traffic
In super session of the Board’s letter No.TCII/2364/94/RFFC dated 2.7.2003
regarding charging of postal traffic carried in Postal/non postal vans on seat displacement
method introduced from 1.10.2002, it has been decided as under:1.
With a view to offset losses suffered by Railways charging of postal traffic
carried in postal/non-postal vans will be linked with sleeper class fare under the
“Berth displacement concept” instead of “Seat displacement method”.
2.
Under the “Berth displacement method”, charging of postal /non postal van will
be fare for sleeper class on super fast trains. A Postal /non postal van will be
treated as 72 berths per (BG) coach and 48 berths per (MG) coach. The
distance for charge, on both directions, will be from the station from which the
van is attached to the station up to which it is carried irrespective of the section
over which postal authorities actually use it. Sleeper class fare will be
recovered on the basis of per kilometer rate arrived at the average lead of
Postal traffic (161 Kms) which works out to Re.80 per kilometer per berth.
3.
A rebate of 2% on capital invested by Department of Posts given on the
haulage charges on Postal vans will continue.
4.
Non-use of train space in any trip will not qualify for any reductions /rebate.
26
5.
Berth displacement system will also apply to the Kalka – Simla, Darjeeling –
Himalayan, Pathankot - Joginder Nagar, Neral – Mathern and Nilgiri sections
and should be worked out on the principle of inflation as application to the
general public.
6.
The revised rates will be effective from 1.4.2006 for a period of one year after
which the same will be reviewed.
This issues with the concurrence of the Finance Directorate of the Ministry of
Railways.

Sub: Policy for leasing of parcel space in the Brake Vans (SLRs) by passenger
30
carrying trains and leasing of Parcel Vans on round trip basis.
1.
With a view to maximum utilization of un-utilzed /under-utilized parcel space in Brake
Vans (SLRs) of various Mail/Express trains, scheme for leasing SLRs for parcel
traffic was introduced by Ministry of Railways in November 1991. Since its inception,
a number of amendments /changes have been made in the scheme from time to
time to make the scheme more customers –friendly. However, only a small
percentage of total parcel carrying capacity available in Brake Vans/Parcel Vans has
been leased by the Zonal Railways. Thus, there is tremendous scope to further
improve the leasing business and thereby increase revenue. With a view to make
the scheme attractive, customer-friendly and also simplify the rules for leasing, the
scheme has been revised.
2.
Moreover, in view of a large number of amendments issued from time to time, a
comprehensive master circular has been prepared to enable Zonal Railways to
apply relevant rules correctly without any confusion. The revised policy guidelines
are in super-session of all previous instructions on the subject. The standard format
of agreement for different types of leasing will be issued separately.
3.
These instructions will come into effect from 1.4.2006. Following provisions of this
Comprehensive Leasing Policy will be applicable to existing leasing contracts also:
4.
(i) (E)
-
Extension of Lease
(ii) (Y)
-
Identity cards /Platform Labour permits
(iii) (BB)
-
Procedure for preparation of manifest by lease holder.
(iv) (EE)
-
Placement /Withdrawal of Rakes on/from platforms
(v) (FF)
-
Adjustment /refund of advance freight paid due to non –
loading.
(vi) (II)
-
Over loading
(vii)(JJ)
-
Over Carriage of consignment in leased SLR/VP
(viii)(MM)
-
Extension of train /increase in frequency of train.
Following provisions of this comprehensive Leasing Policy will be applicable to
existing leasing contracts also provided the lease holder is agreeable for modifying
the existing terms of the contract agreement and there is no adverse financial
implications for railways:
(i) (V)
- Failure of leaseholder in fulfilling his obligations having started
loading.
31
(ii) (AA)
-Payment of lumpsum lease freight
(iii)(CC)
- Loading /unloading at originating and intermediate stations.
5.
Divisions /Zonal Railways should complete the work of Registration of leaseholders
before 31.5.2006. After 31.5.2006, only registered lease holders shall be eligible
for participating in tenders floated thereafter, as also for undertaking temporary
lease or day –to-day lease.
6.
Zonal Railways are required to monitor parcel earning by maintaining division-wise
details of total parcel carrying capacity available in Brake Vans/Asstt. Guard Cabin
/Parcel Vans in each zonal Railway. There should be a system for review of
monitoring the earnings vis-à-vis capacity available. This is imperative given the
target for parcel earnings in the budget 2006-07 and to reduce losses in parcel
business.
7.
Tender notice for leasing of Brake vans/Asstt. Guard cabin/Parcel Vans should be
issued well in advance before termination of existing contracts. There should be
time bound program for leasing tenders. All proceedings of leasing tender should
be closely monitored by Zonal Railways.
8.
This issues with concurrence of Finance Directorate of the Ministry of Railways.

Leasing of brake vans (SLRs) of ordinary passenger trains:
Ordinary Passenger Trains are provided with one SLR and in many cases even
2 SLRs. Barring very few exceptions, non of the SLRs of these ordinary passenger trains
have been leased out, primarily because of lack of response and interest from
prospective lease holders. There is substantial potential for leasing out of SLRs of
ordinary passenger trains since presently SLRs of these trains are running empty in both
up and down directions every day. For leasing of front SLR of ordinary passenger trains,
following as detailed below should be followed.
40
1.
The leaseholder shall be permitted to load/unload the parcels from/ to all
intermediate stations coming in the way of the journey of that specific ordinary
passenger train irrespective of the stoppage time of train at that stations(s).

as coal , sand etc. should not be permitted.
4.
Lease holder will be liable to ensure that quantum of traffic for any one road
side station is such that loading /unloading can be completed within the
scheduled stoppage of the train.
5.
Where ordinary passenger trains are running with single SLR, leasing of one 4
Tonne compartment may be done.

either for reasons of repeated over loading or for repeated failure to start
loading after award of contract, or for attempt to deliberately defraud
railways or for repeated violation of any of the existing stipulations where
cancellation of registration has been legislated as the penalty, then the
entire registration fee would be forfeited.
In addition to forfeiture of registration fee, all his existing leasing contracts
being operated from that division would also be cancelled.
In addition to cancellation, such a lease holder would be debarred from
fresh registration for a period of 5 years.
17.
Appeal against cancellation of registration will lie to CCM.
18.
Once a lease holder has registered himself, his registration will be valid for 5
years, unless his registration is cancelled by the railway administration as
mentioned at item 15 above.
19.
Before expiry of his registration on completion of 5 years a lease holder
may renew his registration by submitting fresh documents as listed at
Annexure-1 without payment of any additional registration fee. The
registration fee deposited earlier will be carried forward.
20.
The scheme of registration of lease holders will be a continuous process
and open throughout the year. Any new entrant can get himself registered
on a particular division at any time by submitting an application with relevant
documents for verification, and thereafter paying the registration fee.

58
1. At all train originating stations, empty coaching rakes must be placed at least ½ hour
before the scheduled departure of the train. In case of late placement of rakes, the
scheduled departure of the train should be suitably delayed so that at least 20” loading
time is available in case of leased SLRs.
2. Similarly, at all train terminating stations, empty coaching rakes must be withdrawn at
least ½ hour after the actual arrival of the train.
3. Normally the nominated platform for an originating train should not be changed at
short notice except in an emergency resulting in non-utilization of parcel space by the
leaseholder .
4. Similarly at intermediate stations, where loading/ unloading is to be carried out by the
leaseholder , the platform nominations should not normally be changed except in an
emergency.
5. In both the above cases, even if such a change is required in an emergency, the train
should be placed/ received on the adjoining platform face of an island platform so that
the stacked consignment can be loaded without any difficulty.
6. In all cases TXR fitness must be given before placement of rake on the platform and
before commencement of loading.
7. In all cases where TXR marks a brake van (SLR/ VP) as damaged f or any reason, a

(FF) Adjustment advance lump sum leased freight paid due to non – loading of SLR/ VP
1. Railways should ensure that the space leased out is made available without fail to the
leaseholder (s).
2. In following cases mentioned at paras 4 and 5 below, where non-loading of parcel
space by lease holder is not due to lease holder’s fault , lumpsum leased freight
charges of that day deposited in advance may be adjusted against the next payment
due and one day’s/ trip’s less lump sum leased freight charges collected accordingly.
In case the day happens to be in the last period of the lease contract, then the
advance lump sum leased freight paid may be adjusted against the advance lump
sum leased freight payable by the lease holder for any other leasing contract that he
may be having at that station. In case the advance lumpsum leased freight cannot be
adjusted in this manner, then the same may be granted as a refund.
3. In such cases, reasons mentioned under paras 4 and 5 must be certified by the multi –
disciplinary team mentioned under para (GG).
4. When the leased space is not made available by the Railways due to unavoidable
circumstances including one of the following:
59
(i) Damage to inside walls of SLR due to theft during previous trip,
(ii) Breakage of floor,

circumstances including one of the following :
(i) Public agitation,
(ii) Bandh, et c.
6. Normally dead body should not be carried in the brake van (SLR) and as far as
possible these should be loaded in the Asstt . Guard cabin of front SLR of those trains
which have not been leased. If no such train is available, then the dead body should
be loaded in the Asstt . Guard cabin of a leased train and the lease holder granted
lump sum leased freight adjustment for one day’s non-loading.
7. In all other cases, if the leaseholder fails to load the SLR, advance lump sum leased
freight collected, will be forfeited.
8. If the lease holder has a genuine reason for not loading on that day he may prefer a
claim for refund which will be dealt with on merits.
(GG) Multi – Disciplinary team for dealing with lease holders:
1. In order to provide single window and customer friendly service to lease holders in the
DRM office, a special cell should be created in each DRM office for dealing with leasing
cases and lease holders.
2. Hand picked staff of out standing track record and having impeccable integrity must be
posted in these cells for dealing with lease holders.
3. A complaint register will be opened in the Commercial department where lease holders
can record their grievances and complaints of harassment, if any. Staff of the special
cell against whom repeated complaints are entered in the register should be shifted
immediately.
4. In order to provide single window and customer friendly service to lease holders at the
station, multi-disciplinary teams will be deputed in each shift at major passenger
terminals from where large number of trains originate/ terminate.
60
5. No. of teams per shift will depend on number of plat forms, number of trains arriving/
departing etc.
6. Teams will comprise of representatives from following departments :
(i) Commercial department – Parcel staff – Team Leader .
(ii) Mechanical department – TXR staff .
(iii) Security department – RPF staff .
7. Only members of the multi – disciplinary team will interact with lease holders for solving
all their lease related problems and provide a single window clearance to them instead
of making them run from pillar to post for solving their grievances.
8. All checks and certifications regarding leased parcel space whether pertaining to
overloading, or damage to walls of the brake van etc. will be under taken only by
members of the multi – disciplinary team.
9. Names of team members will be prominently displayed on each platform.
10. In case complaints of harassment are received against any particular member of a
team he should be replaced.
(HH) Helpline :
1. In order to provide immediate help to a lease holder in an emergency, each division will
get a help line activated for solving their day-to-day problems.
2. The telephone number of the helpline will be that of the Commercial Controller in the
Divisional Control Office who will be instructed to note down complaints in a register
and take necessary corrective action.
3. Divisional Commercial officers will scrutinize this register daily and take note of the
type of complaints received and their rectification. The emphasis should be more on
problem solving and system improvements in order to ensure that these do not recur
rather than on fault finding and fixing responsibility.
(I I ) Overloading:
Railway’s objective should be to penalize deliberate defaulters rather than make life
difficult for everybody. For achieving this purpose Railway’s will ensure that lease holders
do not resort to deliberate over loading, while at the same time permitting some amount of
flexibility to lease holders for genuine errors of judgment . Normally railways will operate
on the principle of ‘customer is always right ’ and as such neither individual packages nor
the entire consignment of a lease holder will be weighed as a matter of course. However ,
sample checks will be carried out from time to time in order to ensure that unscrupulous
61
people do not try to take advantage of this liberal policy and indulge in deliberate over
loading with a view to defraud the railways.
1. Weight of each individual package is not required to be mentioned on the package.
Only the total weight of consignment in the SLR/ VP would be checked.
2. In case of Asstt . Guard cabin the total weight of consignment as also the weight of
individual package must be within the specified limits. The total weight of consignment
must not exceed 1 Tonne and the weight of individual packages must be less than 25
Kgs.
3. There would not be any penalty for variation in the number of packages as long as the
over all weight remains within the permissible limit . (For example, if the manifest
states 250 packages and actually there are 253, no penalty would be charged as
along as the total weight does not exceed the prescribed limit .)
4. In a SLR, weight of the consignment should be checked for each 4 Tonne compartment
separately, and it must be within permissible limits for each compartment . Under
loading in one 4 Tonne compartment will not mean that the other 4 Tonne
compartment can be over loaded. In all such cases, the over loaded compartment will
attract penalty as mentioned below.
5. Tolerances provided for as also penalty for over loading of entire consignment in 4
Tonne SLR compartment , 1 Tonne Asstt . Guard cabin or Parcel Van will be as
follows :
Over loading
Charge/ Penalty
(i) Up t o 3%
Normal lump sum leased freight for the excess weight only, no
penalty.
(ii) > 3% up to 5%
Normal lump sum leased freight for the excess weight as freight
charges. Penalty of 6 times Rajdhani freight f or the entire amount
of excess weight .
(iii) > 5%

freight charges. Penalty of 6 times Rajdhani freight for the entire
amount of excess weight + Rs. 5000 for each of first 3 occasions.
(b) Cancellation of lease for 4th default in addition to penalty as
mentioned at (a) above.
6. The 6 times Rajdhani lump sum leased freight mentioned in item no. 5 above will be
charged for the entire excess weight from origin to destination irrespective of the point
where such overloading was detected.
62
7. In case a consignment is found to be overloaded by more than 5%, then the excess
weight would be off loaded at the point of detect ion and lease holder will have to take
delivery of this part consignment on as is where is basis.
8. Railway will not be responsible for any damage, deterioration or loss to the excess
consignment due to of f loading short of destination.
9. In case of over loading of more than 10%, each slab of 5% or part there of would be
counted as a separate violation. (For example over loading of 13% would be counted
as 2 violations of more than 5% and penalty charged accordingly)
10. In case any package in Asstt . Guard cabin is more than 25 Kgs. in weight, then
tolerances provided for as also penalty for excess weight will be as follows :
Excess weight
(i) Up t o 3 Kg.
(ii) 3 Kg t o 5 Kgs.
(iii) > 5 Kgs.
Charge/ Penalty

packet + Rs. 5000 for each of first 3 occasions.
(b) Cancellation of lease for 4th default in addition to penalty
as mentioned at (a) above.
11. In case of excess weight of more than 10 Kgs., each slab of 5 Kgs. or part there of

would be counted as 2 violations of more than 5 Kgs. and penalty charged
accordingly)
12. In case a consignment is found to be excess weight by more than 5 Kgs, then the
particular packet would be off loaded at the point of detection and lease holder will
have to take delivery of this par t consignment on a as is where is basis.
13. Railway will not be responsible for any damage, deterioration or loss to the over
weight consignment due to off loading short of destination.
14. In case leased consignments are detained by railway authorities for weighment
purpose, no wharfage would be charged.
15. Division where such excess weight is detected would communicate to the lease
allotting division/ railway which in turn will take necessary action like termination of
lease, cancellation of registration etc.
16. In case of cancellation of lease on account of over loading for 2 separate contracts
(minimum of 8 violations in all), registration of the lease holder would also be
cancelled as mentioned under para (K 15).
63
(JJ) Over carriage of consignments in leased SLR :
1. Lease holder shall be responsible for unloading his consignment from the leased SLR/
Asst t. Guard cabin/ VP at the station where his lease terminates.

intermediate stat ion where his lease terminates, then the normal parcel freight from the
lease terminating station to the station of over carriage and back shall be charged.
3. If the lease holder takes delivery of this over -carried consignment at the destination
station, then normal parcel freight from the unloading station to the station of over
carriage shall be charged.
4. However , no charges will be levied in case packages of one station are over carried/
unloaded short of destination at another station by mistake, provided all such stations
are between the lease originating to the lease terminating station. (For example, in
case of lease contract between New Delhi – Chennai, no charges would be leviable in
case packages of Agra get over carried to Bhopal or packages of Chennai get unloaded
short of destination at Nagpur by mistake.)
5. When the lease holder f ails t o unload his consignment from t he leased SLR at the
intermediate station where his lease terminates due to Railway’s operational reasons
such as termination of train short of destination in case of accident , floods, breach of
line, interrupt ion of traffic or any other operational reason no extra freight or penalty will
be charged.
6. When the lease holder fails to unload his consignment from the leased SLR at
intermediate station where his lease terminates due to failure to open doors of SLR then

seeking guidelines for grant of block rake and bunching allowances allowed to other steel
plants, vide para 2.4 of Rates Circular No. 74 of 2005.
2.
Guidelines for grant of block rake and bunching allowances are as under:
Block rake Allowance
83
-
-
Block rake –allowance should be granted only on the outgoing loaded rakes
subject to the condition that the rake in question fulfils the condition regarding
size and destination, and is booked at train load class retes.
The allowance is admissible to all single point or two-point destination rakes.
Bunching Allowance
-
Bunching allowance will be granted on unloading stream of traffic.
-
The allowance is for calendar day only and will not have cumulative effect i.e
not extendable beyond odd hours. For example, the made over time of trains
after granting bunching allowance would be as under in case of the terminal
dealing with five rakes in one unloading point:
Arrival time of trains ( in
Hours)
1600
1800
1900
2200
2300
Due made over time (in Hours)
( Keeping in view the fact that 2 hrs of
bunching allowance is permitted)
1600
1600+2 hrs.=1800
1800+2 hrs= 2000
1900 + 2 hrs =2100=2200
2200 + 2hrs =0000
Gain
Nil
Nil
1 hours

-
The allowance will be granted on the basis of tippler /hopper /ore trench /any
other mode of unloading process. The trains, which are dealt with in the same
unloading point or points, will be treated as one group for bunching allowance
irrespective of type of rakes or commodities involved.
-
The allowance should be calculated on actual arrival basis.
-
If a particular unloading area is having two tipplers for unloading the same or
similar type of commodities, then 1st two rakes arriving consequently or at the
same time will be handle on two tipplers and no bunching allowance will be
granted. Subsequent rakes meant for that unloading area will be distributed
among two tipplers and bunching allowance will be granted tippler-wise
thereafter subject to arrival of rakes in bunched manner. The table below will

As per para 3.4 of rates Circular No. 20 of 2006 (circulated vide LRA 39 goods of
2006), commodities not indicated in the rationalized Goods Tariff will be charges at the
highest Base Class 220 (trainload & wagonload). Accordingly, the commodities
mentioned in Railway’s proposal but not finding mention under any commodity head in
the goods tariff shall be charged at the highest class, i.e. 220. If these commodities are to
be moved as multi – commodity rake, individual classification as mentioned shall be
applicable. Commodities whose classification has not been assigned in the Goods tariff
will be charged at the highest class 220. From the combination of traffic as proposed, it
appears that this traffic is basically parcel traffic. Accordingly, this traffic should be moved
as parcel traffic. Alternatively, the movement of such traffic under various Freight
Forwarder Scheme may be explored by the Railway.

percent of the gross weight and in such cases invoiced weight will continue to be
chargeable weight.
If the weight of first weighment is more than invoiced weight and difference
exceeds the limit as mentioned above, the weight of first weighment at weighbridge will
be the chargeable weight and necessary punitive charges, if applicable shall be realized
as per extant rule.
If the weight of first weighment is less than the invoiced weight, the invoiced weight
will be the chargeable weight.
(2) Difference between the weight of 2nd weighment of consignment in a wagon at

Circular No.26 of 2003 circulated vide this office letter no. C-611/1 of date 18/11/2003.
2.0 In terms of para 2 of Board’s letter of even number dated 28.10.2003, the
methodology for calculation of payload was advised. The matter has been reviewed and it
has been decided to replace the para 2 of Board’s letter of even number dated
28.10.2003 by the following para:
116
“2.0 (a) The permissible carrying capacity of the wagons will be 86 tonnes minus
the actual tare weight of the wagon.
Illustration i) Let the stenciled tare of a BOXN wagon be 23 tonnes and actual tare be 22
tonnes. If the actual gross load is 85 tonnes, the chargeable weight at
normal freight rate shall be 86-22=64 tonne. If the actual gross load is up to
88 tonnes (within loading tolerance of 2 tonnes), the chargeable weight at
normal freight rate shall be 88-22=66 tonnes. However, if the actual gross
load is 89 tonnes i.e. beyond loading tolerance of 2 tonne, the chargeable
weight at normal freight rate shall be 86-22=64 tonnes and punitive charge
shall be levied on 89-86=3 tonnes.
ii) Let the stenciled tare of a BOXN wagon be 23 tonnes and actual tare be
24
tonnes. If the actual gross load is 85 tonnes, the chargeable weight at
normal freight rate shall be 86-24=62 tonne. If the actual gross load is up to
88 tonnes (within loading tolerance of 2 tonnes), the chargeable weight at
normal freight rate shall be 88-24=64 tonnes. However, if the actual gross
load is 89 tonnes i.e. beyond loading tolerance of 2 tonne, the chargeable
weight atnormal freight rate shall be 86-24=62 tonnes and punitive charge
shall be levied on 89-86=3 tonnes.
(b) However, in case weighment of empty tare has been done and it is not possible to
weigh the loaded wagons for reasons like weighbridge going defective, the
permissible carrying capacity shall be worked out as under: i) In case of wagons where the permissible carrying capacity is standardized weight
like 65 tonnes, 60.8 tonnes, etc. The permissible carrying capacity of the wagons
would be arrived by adding the difference between the actual tare and the stenciled
tare to the permissible arrying capacity if the actual tare is less than the stenciled tare
weight,
Or
Subtracting the difference between the actual tare weight and the stenciled tare weight
from the stenciled carrying capacity, if the actual tare weight is more than the stenciled
tare weight
ii) In case of wagons where the permissible carrying capacity is defined as CC+4,
CC+5 etc. Carrying capacity (CC) of the wagons would be arrived by adding the
difference between the actual tare and the stenciled tare to the stenciled carrying
capacity if the actual tare is less than the stenciled tare weight,
Or
Subtracting the difference between the actual tare weight and the stenciled tare weigh
from the stenciled carrying capacity, if the actual tare weight is more than the stenciled
tare weight.
117
Illustration:
(i) If the stenciled CC of a wagon = 58 tonnes, stenciled tare= 23 tonnes,
actual tare= 22 tonnes, then the actual CC would be 58+(23-22) =59
tonnes. If the PCC of the wagon is, say, CC+4 tonnes (as in case of BOXN),
then the PCC of the wagon in this case would be 59+4=63 tonnes.
(ii) If the stenciled CC of a wagon = 58 tonnes, stenciled tare= 23 tonnes,
actual tare= 24 tonnes, then the actual CC would be 58-(24-23) =57 tonnes.
If the PCC of the wagon is, say, CC+5 tonnes (as in case of BOBRN), then
the PCC of the wagon in this case would be 57+5=62 tonnes.”
(iii) If the permissible CC of a wagon for steel = 60 tonnes (as in case of
BCN wagon), stenciled tare= 23 tonnes, actual tare= 24 tonnes, then the
permissible CC would be 60-(24-23) =59 tonnes.”
(c) However, if weighment of the empty tare is not possible for any reason
such as non-functioning of the weighbridges, the charging will be done as in
normal cases.
3.0 All other terms and conditions will continue to apply unchanged.
4.0 These instructions will come into force w.e.f. 24.06.2006. However, the past
cases not dealt according to these instructions but settled finally, shall not be re-opened.

colliery siding was granted.
2.0 Ministry of Railways has decided to amend para (vii) of the aforementioned circular.
Therefore, para (vii) of the Rates Circular No.4 of 2006 may be replaced by the
following Para
118
:“(vii) (a) The permissible carrying capacity of the wagons will be 86 tonnes (for
CC+4)/88 tonnes (for CC+6), minus the actual tare weight of the wagon.
Illustration (i) CC+4 case:
Let the stenciled tare of a BOXN wagon be 23 tonnes and actual tare be 22
tonnes. If the actual gross load is 85 tonnes, the chargeable weight at normal
freight shall be 86-22=64 tonnes. If the actual gross load is up to 88 tonnes (within
loading tolerance of 2 tonne), the chargeable weight at normal freight shall be 8822=66 tonnes. However, if the actual gross load is 89 tonnes i.e. beyond loading
tolerance of 2 tonnes, the chargeable weight at normal freight shall be 86-22=64
tonnes and punitive charge shall be levied on 89-86=3 tonnes.
Let the stenciled tare of a BOXN wagon be 23 tonnes and actual tare be 24
tonnes. If the actual gross load is 85 tonnes, the chargeable weight at normal
freight shall be 86-24=62tonnes. If the actual gross load is up to 88 tonnes (within
loading tolerance of 2 tonne),the chargeable weight at normal freight shall be 8824=64 tonnes. However, if the actual gross load is 89 tonnes i.e. beyond loading
tolerance of 2 tonnes, the hargeable weight at normal freight shall be 86-24=62
tonnes and punitive charge shall be levied on 89-86=3 tonnes.
(ii) CC+6 case:
Let the stenciled tare of a BOXN wagon be 23 tonnes and actual tare be 22
tonnes. If the actual gross load is 87 tonnes, the chargeable weight at normal
freight shall be 88-22=66 tonnes. If the actual gross load is up to 90 tonnes (within
loading tolerance of 2 tonne), the chargeable weight at normal freight shall be 9022=68 tonnes. However, if the actual gross load is 91 tonnes i.e. beyond loading
tolerance of 2 tonnes, the chargeable weight at normal freight shall be 88-22=66
tonnes and punitive charge shall be levied on 91-88=3 tonnes.
Let the stenciled tare of a BOXN wagon be 23 tonnes and actual tare be 24
tonnes. If the actual gross load is 87 tonnes, the chargeable weight at normal
freight shall be 88-24=64 tonnes. If the actual gross load is up to 90 tonnes (within
loading tolerance of 2 tonne), the chargeable weight at normal freight shall be 9024=66 tonnes. However, if the actual gross load is 91 tonnes i.e. beyond loading
tolerance of 2 tonnes, the chargeable weight at normal freight shall be 88-24=64
tonnes and punitive charge shall be levied on 91-88=3 tonnes.
(b) However, in case weighment of empty tare has been done and it is not possible
to weigh the loaded wagons for reasons like weighbridge going defective after
weighment of empty rake, the permissible carrying capacity shall be worked out as
under:
i) In case of wagons where the permissible carrying capacity is standardized
weight like 65 tonnes, 60.8 tonnes, etc. the permissible carrying capacity of the
wagons would be arrived by adding the difference between the actual tare and the
119
stenciled tare to the permissible carrying capacity if the actual tare is less than the
stenciled tare weight,
Or
Subtracting the difference between the actual tare weight and the stenciled tare
weight from the permissible carrying capacity, if the actual tare weight is more than
the stenciled tare weight
ii) In case of wagons where the permissible carrying capacity is defined as CC+4,
CC+5 etc. Carrying capacity (CC) of the wagons would be arrived by adding the
difference between the actual tare and the stenciled tare to the stenciled carrying
capacity if the actual tare is less than the stenciled tare weight,
Or
Subtracting the difference between the actual tare weight and the stenciled tare
weight from the stenciled carrying capacity, if the actual tare weight is more than
the stenciled tare weight
Illustration: (i) If the stenciled CC of a wagon = 58 tonnes, stenciled tare= 23
tonnes, actual tare= 22 tonnes, then the actual CC would be 58+(23-22) =59
tonnes. If the PCC of the wagon is, say, CC+4 tonnes (as in case of BOXN), then
the PCC of the wagon in this case would be 59+4=63 tonnes.
(ii) If the stenciled CC of a wagon = 58 tonnes, stenciled tare= 23 tonnes, actual
tare= 24 tonnes, then the actual CC would be 58-(24-23) =57 tonnes. If the PCC of
the wagon is, say, CC+5 tonnes (as in case of BOBRN), then the PCC of the
wagon in this case would be 57+5=62 tonnes.”
(iii) If the permissible CC of a wagon for coal = 60 tonnes (as in case of BCN
wagon), stenciled tare= 23 tonnes, actual tare= 24 tonnes, then the permissible CC
would be 60-(24-23) =59 tonnes.”
(c) However, if weighment of the empty tare is not possible for any reason such as
non-functioning of the weighbridges, the charging will be done as in normal cases.
3.0 All other terms and conditions will continue to apply unchanged.
4.0 These instructions will come into force w.e.f. 24.06.2006. However, the past cases not
dealt according to these instructions but settled finally, shall not be re-opened.

Sub: Levy of busy season /busy route surcharge on punitive charges for loading of
wagons.
Ref: Board’s Rate Circular No.26 of 2006 (circulated vide this office LRA 42 Goods
of 2006 of date 30/03/2006).
In terms of Board’s Rate Circular no. 26 of 2006(circulated vide this office LRA 42
Goods of 2006 of date 30/03/2006) Busy season surcharge and Busy route surcharge
have been levied subject to certain conditions.
Certain Railways have sought clarification about the Leviability of Busy season
Surcharge/Busy Route surcharge on punitive charges levied for overloading of wagons.
The matter has been examined and it is clarified that punitive charges will be
calculated on the Normal Tariff Rate (NTR) which constitutes the base freight rate as
published in the Goods tariff No. 44 Pt. II and busy season surcharge, if applicable.
Incase penal overloading is detected in sectors in which Busy Route Surcharge is
applicable, total freight will have three elements viz. NTR, punitive charges on the basis of
NTR and Busy Route Surcharge as a percentage of NTR.
Illustration
Punitive charges to be calculated as per Situation - A and Situation – B of the
Punitive Charges for overloading of wagons Rules, 2005, of the notification dated
23/11/2005 issued in the Gazette of India.
For commodity having Classification 140 (Trainload)
5% Busy Season Surcharge, if applicable, will be levied on the applicable Base
freight Rates published in the Goods Tariff No. 44 Pt. II for Class 140. This is called
Normal tariff Rate (NTR). Other charges like Busy Route Surcharge, Surcharges specified
in Consignment Volume Based Scheme (as mentioned in Rate Circular No. 25 of 2006)
etc will be levied on NTR, if applicable. Accordingly, Punitive Charges will be levied on
123
NTR. For example, if the Base Freight rate is Rs. 100 and 5% Busy Season Surcharge is
leviable, NTR becomes Rs. 105. In situation situation A, as published in the punitive
charges Rules, punitive charges becomes 2 times of the NTR, i.e. rs. 210. However, if
provision of situation B is attracted, the punitive charge will be 3 times of the highest
Class (viz. 220) as Busy Season Surcharge is not attracted at class 220.
In the same example, if Busy Route Surcharge of 20% is also to be levied, then the
freight so calculated will be further increased to the extant of 20% of NTR.

Sub: Permission for train load benefit for loading fly as into newly converted 4
wheeler modified tank wagon rake with 40 wagons.
Fly ash is a kind of by product of VTPS /Kondapalli, which used to get dumped as
waste; though it could have been gainfully used by the cement industry for production of
cement, keeping this object in view, as a part of marketing strategy, railways have
persuaded the VTPS /KI to move their product by rail to cement plants, for which
suitable wagons will be made available. Since , four-wheeler tank wagons are being
phased out, it has been decided to use them for this traffic, with suitable modification.
With this insight, Railway Board have accorded their approval vide letter No.2002/TTII/3/SR/Conversion dt. 7.12.2004 of plain bearing four wheeler tank wagons for carrying
fly ash for a rake of 75 wagons to facilitate movement of fly ash. Accordingly, Railways
have converted 40 four wheeler tank wagons so far and formed a rake of 40 wagons,
for transporting fly-ash from VTPS/KI to the Cement Plants in JPTN area and in
Vishnupuram, and it may take some time for forming a full rake of 70 wagons. Thus
railways have constraint to supply full rake at present.
173
In order to derive full benefit of these 40 wagons, it has been decided by S. C
Railway Administration to grant train load benefit, as a special case for loading of fly ash
in the 40 newly converted four-wheeler modified tank wagon rake, from VTPS/Kondapalli
to the cement plants located at Jaggayapet Town and Vishnupuram. This concessioin will
be valid for a period of three months or till full rake is made available, whichever is earlier.
This concession will come into force with immediate effect.
This issues with the consent of COM, concurrence of FA&CAO and the sanction of
General Manager.
