As per para2(v) of these guidelines, the zonal railways may lease out Parcel Vans on round trip basis between originating and terminating point of the assigned train. 1.1 Further, as per Board’s letter No. 99/TC(FM)10/13(Dup) dated 03/10/2003, the zonal railway, to whom the train is based for primary maintenance, should initiate action for leasing of Parcel Vans on round trip basis . However, the zonal railway under which the terminating station is located, can also lease out parcel Vans on round trip basis only with the prior consent of the zonal railway on which the train is based for primary maintenance. 2.0 However, the scheme for leasing of Parcel Vans on round trip basis has not been able to achieve much success. With a view to lease out the Parcel Vans on round trip basis to the maximum possible extent, it has been decided that the zonal railway of intermediate junction station may also lease out Parcel vans on round trip basis from intermediate junction station provided that the stoppage time of train at that station is 10 minutes or more and shunting arrangement are available at that intermediate junction station. The leased Parcel Van (VP) will be attached / detached at this intermediate junction station. 2.1 However, before leasing of Parcel Vans on round trip basis, the zonal railway of the intermediate junction station, which wants to lease out the Parcel Van, will consult and obtain clearance of the zonal railway of originating station as well as the zonal railway where the train is based for primary maintenance regarding the operational feasibility of the above. 2.2 The zonal railway must reply / give its clearance by return fax within 10(Ten) days after receipt of the letter from the zonal railway seeking NOC. 2.3 However, first preference should be given to lease out the Parcel Vans on round trip basis between originating and terminating stations of the assigned train. 33 3.0 Effort may be made to market the scheme vigorously to the maximum extent and generate additional earnings from leasing of Parcel Vans on round trip basis on long distance trains. 4.0 These instructions will come into force with immediate effect. 5.0 These instructions must be followed rigidly by all concerned.

Details should include number of rakes required, type of wagons, commodity, loading station, etc. c. Initially details of destination station (s) will also be given for the purpose of information. However, once rakes have been procured and loading in WIS wagons start, destinations can be changed subsequently as per requirements of the customer, based on mutual agreement between the customer and railways. 59 d. Destination station or railway cannot be one for which there is a quota limitation (for example traffic for NF Railway, Bangladesh etc. cannot be covered under WIS). e. For one rake invested in, loading of guaranteed number of rakes is permissible from one station only (for ease of calculation regarding number of rakes supplied etc.) However, unloading points can be either a single or different destinations. f. In case more than one rake is procured, then each rake can also be identified with a separate loading station as far as guaranteed supply of rakes is concerned. g. Freight rebate will be admissible on the first 4 or 6 rakes loaded from that loading point. (Suppose a customer is loading 18 BOXN rakes from a station. Of these 8 will be guaranteed supply and remaining 10 will be supply in the normal course. 6 out of these 8 guaranteed supply rakes will be eligible for freight rebate. These 6 rakes on which freight rebate is to be given as also 2 extra guaranteed rakes will be the first 6/8 rakes loaded. h. Operating branch shall evaluate the feasibility of providing guaranteed supply of rakes at the loading point selected by the customer, etc. In case guaranteed supply cannot be ensured at the loading station asked for due to over saturation, then alternate loading stations should be suggested. i. Thereafter, No objection Certificate (NOC) shall be issued by COM. NOC should normally be issued within 7 days of receipt of application. j. NOC should clearly indicate number of rakes, types of wagon, loading station, unloading stations, commodity, route for movement of this traffic etc. NOC should also indicate whether the traffic proposed to be carried in WIS wagons is new traffic or existing traffic. k. Customers who are setting up new industries /sidings and offering fresh volumes of traffic which was not being carried by rail earlier should send application along with detailed proposal & NOC to Director /Transport Planning, Railway Board for obtaining Rail Transport Clearance (RTC) from planning Directorate of Railway Board. l. For customers who are presently loading in general service railway wagons and who want to shift to WIS scheme where part of their existing traffic will be carried in WIS wagons, no RTC will be necessary. m. Application along with NOC & RTC (if applicable) should be submitted to Executive Director /Freight Marketing, Railway Board for issue of final 60 approval permitting procurement of rakes under Wagon Investment Scheme (WIS). n. On the basis of the above approval, Agreement to be signed between the CCM/FM and investor. o. Rakes can be procured by customers: (i) Directly from approved Indian wagon manufacturers (subject to current IRS designs & specifications), or (ii) Directly from wagon manufacturers of foreign country subject to current IRS designs & specifications, or (iii) Through Stores Directorate of Railway Board. (Application to stores Directorate for procurement of wagons should be routed through ED/FM). p. In case investor wants to procure wagons through Railway Board, he should approach EDRS (S), Railway Board, along with a copy of Agreement signed with CCM/FM of Zonal Railway to know the cost of wagon. q. The investor will deposit 50% of cost of wagons and will submit proof of deposit with EDRS (S), Railway Board to initiate procurement of wagons. r. The private wagon builder intending to manufacture wagons against WIS on behalf of investor should approach EDRS (S), Railway Board along with following documents for allocation of wheelsets:(i) (ii) (iii) (iv) Copy of Agreement between CCM/FM and Investor.

In such cases, the lumpsum leased freight rate will be increased on a pro rata basis for the extra distance covered. For example, if the distance increase is 20% then the lumpsum freight rate should also be increased by 20%. This extension of the lease will be co-terminus with the duration of the existing leasing contract. (ii) In case the existing lease holder is not prepared to take the lease for the extended run of train, then the intermediate station (earlier destination station of the train) should float a tender for vacant leg of the journey. The duration of the contract for the extended leg should also be co – terminus with the duration of the contract for the original run of train so that subsequent leasing can be from end to end.

The details of these adjustments are given below: 95 2.0 Dynamic Pricing for transportation of goods has been introduced. Accordingly, Base Class Rates for freight charges for various commodities have been assigned. Actual freight will be charged by granting discounts or levying surcharge on the base Class Rate in accordance with the Rate Circular for Dynamic Pricing issued by Railway Board from time to time. 2.1 The highest Base Class has been reduced from Class-240 to Class-220. 2.2 Classes 90, 90W1, 90W2 and 90W3 are being replaced with new Classes namely LR1, LR2, LR3, LR4 and LR5 for assigning more appropriate rates to lighter goods. The new Classes will be equivalent to 90%, 80%, 70%, 60% and 50% respectively of Class-100. 2.3 The total number of classes will, accordingly, get reduced from the existing total of 19 Classes to 18 classes. Array of these 18 Classes will be as under: Low Rated Tariff lines LR5 LR4 LR3 LR2 LR1 General Tariff lines 100 110 120 130 140 150 160 170 180 190 200 210 220 3.0 The Goods Tariff Part-I (Volume-II) has been further rationalized and simplified. The rationalized Goods Tariff has 23 groups of commodities under General Tariff lines and 5 divisions under Low Rated Tariff lines. A copy of the rationalized Goods Tariff is enclosed as Annexure – I. 3.1 Each group, under a Main Commodity Head, will have single uniform Base Class for the various commodities in the group, except where specifically prescribed otherwise, irrespective of their being in different physical forms or shapes and their different conditions, whether raw or manufactured. Exceptions in the classification have been indicated in a “Note” given in the Goods Tariff below the particular group of commodities. 3.2 3.3 Only Base Classes for trainload transport of commodities have been indicated in the Goods Tariff. The corresponding classification for wagonload movement will be as shown in the table below: Trainload Base Class Class – 140 or below Class- 150 – 210 Class -220 Wagonload Base Class Class-150 One class higher than Trainload class Class -220 96 3.4 Commodities not indicated in the rationalized Goods Tariff will be charged at the highest Base Class-220. 3.5 Railway material booked in general service wagons will be charged at the applicable public tariff rate and will be subject to all the relevant rules and regulations in respect of free time, demurrage, wharfage & other commercial matters. 3.6 Proposal for assigning Base Class for trainload of a commodity not indicated in the Goods Tariff but having a potential for block rake loading should be sent to Railway Board. 4.0 Column head ‘Chargeable Weight’ indicates whether freight will be charged for CC or Enhanced CC. 4.1 “CC” and ‘Enhanced CC’ indicate whether freight will be charged for the notified Carrying Capacity or the notified Enhanced Carrying Capacity of the wagon being loaded. Generally, bagged consignments and lighter goods have been classified as CC commodities and loose and bulk commodities have been classified as Enhanced CC commodities. 5.1 Dangerous/hazardous commodities are indicated with alphabet “d” in the column ‘Type of commodity’. These commodities are to be charged at the Base Class indicated for the Main Commodity Head. However, all other dangerous/hazardous commodities, not listed in the Goods Tariff but listed in the “Red Tariff”, will be charged at the highest Base Class-220. Dangerous/hazardous commodities will not be booked for transportation by rail unless they are listed in the “Red Tariff”. Packing conditions for dangerous/hazardous commodities, as given in the “Red Tariff” must be strictly complied with. The condition of ‘pre-payment of freight compulsory’ has been denoted with alphabet “p” in the column ‘payment of freight’ against the commodity. Where the alphabet “p”does not appear, the commodity can be booked on “To-pay” basis with a surcharge applicable for “To-pay” booking. 5.2 5.3 “OR” in the column “Risk Rate” indicates that the concerned commodity will be charged//booked at Owner’s Risk. However, commodities with OR rate can be booked at RR rate on payment of 20% surcharge. In all other cases, where “OR” does not appear, commodities will be treated to have been charged/booked at Railway Risk rate. 5.4 The packing conditions of all commodities other than dangerous/hazardous is given in the column “Packing Condition” against each commodity. The packing condition given against the Main Commodity Head shall apply to all commodities, under that head, if no specific packing condition is given against a particular commodity. 97 6.0 Zonal Railways should ensure that requisite number of copies of the Goods Tariff Part - I Vol. II and Tables for Base Freight Rates (Goods Tariff Pt.- II) are collected from the General Secretary, IRCA by deputing staff.

Cargo Aggregation Schemes A wide variety of cargo is not amenable to bulk movement in block rakes due to insufficient volumes. White goods, FMCG products and several high value consignments also require assured supply of wagons and time critical movements. Railway can offer the cargo in this category speedy, reliable, efficient and economic transport only by aggregating such commodities in trainloads. Aggregation of cargo also requires efficient warehousing facilities at the railheads. Such warehouses can act as hubs aggregating goods for long haul by rail and can provide a cost effective door-to-door distribution service for the consumers with a back-to-back arrangement with road transport service providers. With the objective of promoting rail, road and warehousing integration and coordination, Railways have already launched Rail Side Warehousing Scheme for private participation. In order to take the process forward, following Cargo Aggregation Schemes are offered to Freight Forwarders. 1 Freight Forwarder Scheme Applicability: All Rail Side Warehouses and goods sheds notified by the concerned Zonal Railway for cargo aggregation and distribution.

D Explanatory Notes: (a) Benchmark: If a customer has loaded, say, 50,000 MT of traffic and Rupees One Crore in the previous Season and there has been no change in the tariff rate, the customer has to load 50,000 MT and give a freight earning of Rupees One Crore before he becomes eligible for freight discounts. 137 In the same example if the tariff rate has been increased by 10%, freight earnings will reach One Crore before loading 50,000 MT: however, the customer will become eligible only after he has loaded 50,000 MT. On the other hand, if the tariff rate has been decreased by 10%, loading of 50,000 MT will be achieved before reaching freight earnings of One Crore: however, the customer in this case will become eligible only after he has achieved freight earning of Rupees One Crore. (b) Calculation of Freight Discounts for Volume Growth Incentive Schemes: A customer will start getting discounts at the rate indicated in the Scales of Discounts from the next rake as soon as the seasonal benchmarks in respect of loading and earning are fulfilled. When earning performance of the customer reaches the next slab, wherever applicable, he will start getting the higher discount for the traffic volume corresponding to that slab. An example is given below to illustrate this point. If the incremental earning is Rs. 5 crore in the lean season, the customer is eligible for freight discount of 10% for the entire incremental earning. However, if the incremental earning is Rs. 7 crore, a discount of 10% will be granted on the incremental earning of Rs. 5 crore and a discount of 15% will be granted on the balance incremental freightearning of Rs.2 crore. c) Concurrent Applicability: The concept is explained by the following example. Freight Discounts under the Incentive Scheme for Incremental Traffic and under the Wagon Investment Scheme (an investment reimbursement discount) are permissible concurrently. Incremental traffic volume of a customer will be eligible for admissible freight discounts provided the customer opts for both the Schemes. However, the discount on the incremental traffic will be given on net rate arrived at after having given concession under Wagon Investment Scheme. d) Calculation of freight in case of two point rakes and multipoint rakes, will be done on end-to - end basis. Illustration is at Annexure- IV 5. These instructions will come into force with effect from 01.04.2006. 6. Zonal Railways should advise nomination of Divisional Empowered Committee (DEC) as stipulated in this circular to the Board’ s office. Zonal Railways should also send to Board’ s office a list of notified cargo aggregation and distribution terminal in reference to Cargo Aggregation Scheme of this circular, and the full rake/half rake terminals as well as combination of two originating terminals for covered wagons in reference to this circular. 138 7. Zonal Railways will ensure that wide publicity is given to these schemes. Steps should be taken to ensure that the staff fully understand these schemes and implement them correctly. 8.

As per rule 242 of IRCA Coaching Tariff No. 25, Part I (Vol. I), Season tickets are valid for travel by only those Superfast trains specifically permitted by Railway Administration. In such cases, season ticket holder is required to purchase Superfast Surcharge ticket for each journey in advance. For the convenience of those season ticket holders who want to travel regularly by Superfast trains specifically permitted by Railway Administration, Railways issue Monthly & Quarterly Superfast Surcharge Tickets cost of which is equivalent to Superfast Surcharge for 60 single journeys in the case of Monthly Superfast Surcharge Tickets and 180 single journeys in the case of Quarterly Superfast Surcharge Tickets. 2. Taking into account representations from various sections of users regarding high Superfast charges of MST/QST, Ministry of Railways have reviewed the whole issue and decided to rationalize the charges of Monthly & Quarterly Superfast Surcharge Tickets. Now the charges of Monthly Superfast Surcharge Tickets will be equivalent to Superfast Surcharge for 15 single journeys (instead of 60) and that of Quarterly Superfast Surcharge Tickets will be equivalent to Superfast Surcharge for 45 single journeys (instead of 180), for both the second & first class season tickets. 3. The above mentioned reduced rates will come into effect on tickets issued on and after 15.2.2006. 4. The Monthly/Quarterly Superfast Surcharge tickets issued at old rates will remain valid upto the last day of their validity. However, no refund will be allowed to those persons who have already purchased the Monthly/Quarterly Superfast Surcharge at old rates. 5. With the reduction in charges for Monthly & Quarterly Superfast SurchargeTickets, all exemptions wherever granted or admissible to season ticket holders to travel in certain trains or sections without payment of superfast surcharge shall stand withdrawn from the above mentioned date. All Season Ticket holders, without any exception, will be required to purchase in advance the Superfast Surcharge Tickets for each journey or the Monthly/Quarterly Superfast Surcharge tickets. The concerned zonal railways should take advance action in intimating the passengers of such trains about implementation of these instructions w.e.f. 15.2.2006. Railways should keep the Board advised of any development or representations in this regard. 6. There is no change in other provisions contained in the rule mentioned under para 1. The rates for superfast surcharge tickets issued for individual journeys will remain unchanged. Season ticket holders who do not want to purchase Monthly/Quarterly Superfast Surcharge Tickets, will continue to purchase Superfast Surcharge ticket for each journey in advance. 151 7. Necessary instructions may be issued to all concerned immediately. The software in PRS, SPTMs, etc., wherever required, may be modified accordingly.Wide publicity through various media should be given for information of general public about heavy reduction in Monthly/Quarterly Superfast charges for commuters travelling on MST/QST. 8.

With a view to optimize the utilization of available accommodation in train, a schme to upgrade full fare paying waiting list passengers to the next higher class against the available vacant accommodation, has been prepared. A copy of the scheme is given below. It has been decided to implement this scheme initially on the following two pairs of trains on an experimental basis; i) ii) 2951/2952 Mumbai Central –New Delhi Rajdhani Express 2953/2954 Mumbai Central –H. Nizammudin August Kranti Express. The scheme will be made effective for trains departing from 26/01/2006 onwards from New Delhi, H. Nizammudin and Mumbai Central Stations. Necessary action may kindly be taken to send intimation to all concerned. Wide publicity may be given through all possible means to educate the passengers about this scheme. IMPORTANT FEATURES OF THE SCHEME 1. The scheme will initially be applicable on a few selected trains with reserved sleeping accommodation as a pilot project. This scheme will not be offered in trains with only sitting accommodation (2S, CC and EC Classes). 2. The scheme will be applicable only to the passengers who have booked their tickets on full fare. Concessional ticket/free pass holders will not be upgraded. Concessional Tickets include senior citizens traveling on concession. 3. Upgradation will not be done for Block booking transactions. 154 4. This upgradation will be automatically done by PRS at the time of charting. The train Conductor /Ticket Examiners will have no authority to upgrade any passenger under this scheme on the train. However, the present system of upgradation on collection of full fare difference by booking, reservation of checking staff will continue as usual. 5. The software to be developed by CRIS should provide for the option of charging additional amount or otherwise for the upgradatiion. 6. If a passenger, who has been upgraded, cancels his ticket, cancellation charges of the original class only will be payable. 7. Upgradation of passengers will be done in one class above only and will be as per the following sequences. BOOKED CLASS Sleeper to 3AC to 2AC UPGRADED CLASS 3AC/FC 2AC 1AC 8. UPgradation of the passengers from the lower class to the higher class will be done after allotment of berths of all quotas (HO, FT, DF, PH ….) has been done. After all allotment if any of these quota berths remain vacant then these shall be released and RAC and waitlisted passengers of the same class will be adjusted against these vacant berths. If there are berths still vacant after this process then all of these vacant berths except number of berths as mentioned under item 12 below, will be utilized for upgradation of passengers. 9. Upgradations will be done only to the extent of clearance of the combined waiting list of all classes, e.g. if there are 80 vacant berths in 1AC, 2 AC & 3 AC and the total waiting list of all classes is only 30, then the total number of upgradations will be linked to the clearance of waiting list only. This is being done in order to ensure that, as a result of the upgradation, only waitlisted passengers are provided confirmed seats. The remaining vacant berths will transferred for booking on the current counters as per the existing practice. Thus, if there is no waiting list on a train, no upgradation will take place. 10. The upgradation will be done at the originating point and at all intermediate chart preparing points. During Phase –I, it will be done for source location i.e originating point only. 11. Up gradation will be done only for confirmed (after RAC /WL management) Passengers of General and Tatkal quotas. 155 12. Total No. of berths to be kept vacant for current booking in each train will be as follows:- I –AC : (a) Only 1 berth in case of Composite 1A +2A Coach (b) only 2 berths in case of Full I-AC Coach 2-AC : (a) only 2 berths in case of only composite AC I+ACII Coach (b) only 4 berths in case of Full AC II coach 3-AC : only 4 berths 13. The passengers will be selected randomly by the PRS System as follows: i) ii) iii) iv) v) vi) vii) viii) One PNR from the list of general passengers confirmed after RAC /WL management in charting. Next PNR will be randomly selected from the confirmed PNRs booked under the Tatkal scheme. The above process of alternately selecting from the General confirmed list and Tatkal confirmed list would continue till all eligible vacant seats are filled by upgradation of passengers or till all the Waitlisted passengers have been confirmed. The Remote location passengers confirmed against source berths will not be upgraded. The berths of confirmed passengers, who have been upgraded to the higher class; will be allotted to the RAC/WL passengers of that class. If there are still some berths vacant then these vacant berths will be allotted to the confirmed passengers of the next lower class. All passengers in one PNR (maximum 6) will be upgraded together or none of them will be upgraded in case enough berths are not available to upgrade all of them in the same coach. Passengers will be upgraded without asking for their choice e.g. SL to AC/FC coach, Cabin Berth to Side Berth, Lower Berth to upper Berth, cabin level compact Accommodation to Coach Level Compact Accommodation. However , if any passenger exercises ‘No’ option for upgradation in the requisition form at the time of booking , his/her PNR will not be considered by the PRS for upgradation . Requisition forms will be suitably amended to opt out of upgradation scheme. Party consisting of both full fare paying and cocessional passengers will not be upgraded to avoid splitting Original PNR of upgraded passengers will remain unchanged and all information from PRS, IVRS, etc will be provided when enquiry is made with the original PNR. 14. There would be changes in the coach number and berth numbers of passengers, who had earlier been allotted confirmed seat, it they are upgrade. Wide publicity of the Scheme will be required to be done to 156 ensure that all passengers get into the habit of checking their final coach number and berth numbers before occupying the berths. 15. The chart of the original class of passenger will have indication at the bottom of the chart giving original berth nos. which have been upgraded. 16. The final charts of the upgraded class will include the names of upgraded passengers against their allotted upgraded coach and berth number and will have an indication denoting their upgraded status. 17. There would be a separate sheet also – on the lines of the Waiting – list chart giving old status and new status for the upgraded passengers 18. Upgradation of passengers will not be done for the Train in which there is coach replaced or damaged at the time of charting. 19 Some likely scenarios are given in Annexure. Scheme for Upgradation of Passengers –Some Sample Scenarios Scenarios I: Number of waitlisted passenger in SL class in EQUAL to number of vacant berths in higher classes (IA,IIA,IIIA) Consider an example, where number of waitlisted passengers are 25 and berths available in each higher class after setting apart the no. of berths for current booking as indicated in para 12 are as follows. IA 5 IIA 0 IIIA 20 -------------------------------Total Vacant berths 25 In this case the upgradation of confirmed passengers will be as follows 5 berths of IA are vacant, so 5 CNF psgn of IIA will be shifted to IA, that makes 5 berth of II A available 5 berths of II A are vacant now, so 5 CNF psgn of III A will be shifted to IIA, that makes 25 berths of III A available 25 berths of III A are vacant, so 25 CNF psgn of SL will be shifted to IIIA that makes 25 berth/RAC of SL class available. 157 From the upgradation of passengers to upper class required berths are made available to all the waitlisted passengers of the SL class, which will get the CNF /RAC berths in SL class. Scenario II: Number of wait listed passenger in SL class is GREATER than the number of vacant berths in higher classes (IA, IIA, and IIIA) Consider an example , where number of waitlisted passengers are 30 and berths available in each higher class after setting aprt the no. of berths for current booking as indicated in para 12 are as follows: II A 8 III A 14 ------------------------------------------TOTAL VACANT BERTHS 22 In this case the upgradation of confirmed passengers will be as follows No berths are vacant in IA class, so no passengers will be upgraded from II A to IA 8 berths of II A are vacant , so 8CNF psgr of III A will be shifted to II A, that makes 22 berth of III A available 22 berths of III A are vacant , so 22 CNF , psgn of SL will shifted to III A, that makes 22 berth /RAC of SL class available From upgradation of passengers to upper class, 22 berths are made available in the SL class, which will be allotted to 22/WL passengers. 8 passengers will still remain in W/L status. Senario III: Number of waitlisted passenger SL class is LESS than the number of vacant berths in higher classes (IA, IIA, and IIIA) Consider a example , where number of waitlisted passengers are 22 and berths available in each higher class after setting apart the no. of berths for current booking as indicated in para 12 are as follows: IA 3 IIA 9 IIIA 16 --------------------------------------------------TOTAL VACANT BERTHS 28 In this case the upgradation of confirmed passengers will be as follows 6CNF psgn of IIIA will be shifted to II A, that makes 22 berths of III A available 158 22 berths of III A are vacant , so 22 CNF psgn of SL will be shifted to III A 3 berth in Ist AC and 3 berths in 2 AC will remain vacant. From upgradation of passengers to upper class 28 berths are made available in the SL class. Since there are 22 passengers waitlisted so all the 22 psgn will be provided CNf berths of the SL class. 6 berths of SL class will remain vacant.

This facility will be automatically provided unless any passenger specifically refuses to avail this facility, by giving “No” option at the time of filling of the requisition form. The requisition forms should be modified accordingly. Till such time the reservation staff may be asked to take the option on the requisition form at the time of booking the ticket iii Frequent /Periodical announcements may be made at Reservation Offices through public address system to make passengers aware of this facility as well as the possibility of non availability of choice berths like lower berths in the upgraded class. iv Also some passengers who are allergic to AC environment may not like upgradation from Sleeper class to 3AC or I St class to 2AC .Such passenger should specifically give option “NO” at the time of Booking failing which there may be a situation when as a result of upgradation the passenger may get upgraded to AC class in which he/she does not want to go and even the original reservation in the Sleeper Class or First Class is also not available after chart preparation causing inconvenience to passenger. v Passengers therefore should be encouraged to give clear cut option at the time of Booking vi Wide publicity should be given and the reservation staff should be educated suitably to enable them to give proper guidance to the passengers.
