Sub: Leasing of Parcel Vans on round trip basis.

1.0 Attention is invited to policy guidelines for leasing of parcel vans (VP) on round trip basis circulated vide board’s letter No. 99/TC(FM)/10/13 dated 30/10/1999. 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.

# Permissible free time in case of double operation of container traffic i.e unloading followed by loading in the same wagons, shall be 5 hours . However, in the case of container commodity handled by sling cranes, the free time for loading /unloading will be 6 hours for single operation and 8 hours for double operation.

2.2.1 ‘Additional Free Time’ which is given on account of extra shunting for placement, removal etc. should be 2 hour (two hours). However, in case where the additional free time had been fixed less than 2 hours as per earlier Time & Motions Studies, the same should continue.

2.2.2 In case of goods sheds and railway sidings where the placement capacity is less than a rake, 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 placement of 3rd part of the same rake for loading and unloading and so on, should be treated as dies-non. Demurrage for excess detention will be levied on entire rake. Excess detention should be calculated by deducting the permissible free time and periods of dies-non from the period of total detention (i.e period from the time of placement of 1st part to the release time of last wagon) of the rake.

2.2.3 In case of goods sheds having multiple lines of limited capacity, if a rake is split up and placed on different lines successively, free time for the entire rake will commence from the time of placement of first lot of wagons. Demurrage for excess detention will be levied on the entire rake. However, if the time interval between successive placements is too much due to exigencies like accident etc., free time for each placement shall be granted separately according to the slab of free time applicable for relevant placement.

Sub: Rationalization of Haulage charges recoverable from CONCOR in respect of container trains.

52

1.0 The Rates for haulage charges payable by CONCOR to Indian Railways for container traffic, notified vide Railway Boards letter No. 2002/TT-III/73/33 dated 01.04.2005, will be valid upto 30.11.2005.

2.0 Haulage charges of container trains

It has been decided that:

2.1 There shall be a single uniform rate for all types of domestic container traffic, other than ‘CC’ commodities.

2.1Empty containers, when moved in CONCOR owned wagons shall be charged at 65% of the rates for EXIM traffic in CONCOR owned wagons.

2.2Empty containers, when moved in IR owned wagons shall be charged at 75% of the rates for EXIM traffic in IR owned wagons.

2.4 CONCOR owned empty flat wagons shall be charged at 60% of the rates for a CONCOR owned wagon loaded with EXIM container.

2.5 IR owned empty flat wagon shall be charged at 70% of the rates for an IR owned wagon loaded with EXIM containers.

2.6 In order to ensure optimal utilization of the rolling stock and the transport capacity of the Indian Railways, it has also been decided that the haulage charges for container trains shall be payable to the Railways for a minimum number of wagons, depending upon the type of stock, as given in following table, taking one wagon as equivalent to two TEUs in all cases.

Type of stock Minimum composition for charge

Standard composition for charge

BLCA 40 wagons =80 TEUs 45 wagons = 90 TEUsBLLA 35 wagons =70 TEUs 40 wagons = 80 TEUsOther 30 wagons =60 TEUs 35 wagons = 70 TEUs

3.0 System for charging

3.1The rates for haulage charges for loaded containers (TEUs) for EXIM traffic. Domestic traffic, Empty containers and Empty flat wagons for both IR owned and CONCOR owned wagons are given in the enclosed Rate Tables.

3.2 The haulage charges will be calculated for

(i) The actual number of loaded containers, subject to a minimum of 2 TEUs per wagon

(ii) The actual number of empty containers, subject to a minimum of 2 TEUs per wagon

53

(iii) The actual number of empty flat wagons in the rake.

1.3 If the total number of wagons in a rake is less than the minimum composition prescribed above, haulage charges for the short fall in the number of wagons shall be calculated at the rates prescribed for empty flat wagons.

1.4 To arrive at the total haulage charges for each train, all the haulage charges calculated separately, as per para 3.2 and 3.3 above, will be added together.

4. Hub and Spoke system

CONCOR is operating Hub and Spoke system for transportation of containers in certain regions for which the system of documentation and calculation of haulage charges would be as follows:-

4.1 The Origination point will clearly indicate on the Inland Way Bill (IWB) whether the container will be go directly to the destination or will move via a specified hub.

4.2The haulage charges for the loaded container will be charged from the originating point to the destination point for the entire distance of actual haulage via the specified ‘hub’.

4.3For the loaded /empty container transshipped at the “hub” , a subsequent IWB with “zero” freight will be prepared for the distance from the hub to the destination, duly cross referring the original IWB and the originating point on the subsequent IWB.

4.4In case of movement of a container in two different types of stock viz IR and CONCOR owned wagons, haulage charges at the rates for IR owned wagon will apply for the entire distance.

5 CC Commodities5.1 ‘CC’ commodities shall continue to be charged at 90% or 80% of the normal

freight, as per the Goods classification and Goods Tariff, when moved in wagons owned by IR and in wagons owned by CONCOR respectively. Such “CC” commodities are (1 )Grey Cement (excluding white cement and its products) (2) Iron & Steel booked from Steel Plant sidings (3) Petroleum and other hydrocarbon oils and (4) Grains and pulses

6.0 The above rates will come into effect from 1.12.2005 till further advise.

(v) Actual tare (found after weighment) and stenciled tare of the wagons should be specified both in Railway Receipt and Weighbridge register.

(vi) The chargeable weight will be the actual weight of the wagon or 86 tonnes (forCC+4)/88 tonnes (for CC+6), whichever is higher, minus the actual tare weight of the wagon.

63

(vii) In normal circumstances, en-route re-weighment of these wagons should not be done. However, if it is done in any exceptional circumstances, the weight of the consignment should be arrived by subtracting the actual tare (found after weighment in empty condition and specified in RR) from the gross weight found after reweighment.

Mail/ Express /Superfast/ Rajdhani & Shatabdi and Ordinary passengers trains.

2.0 A case has come to the notice of Board wherein a particular train, which was earlier running between two pairs of points, has been extended further. The SLR of this train was leased out from the originating to the earlier terminating

77

station of the train, which has now become an intermediate station. The existing leasing policy does not cater for this kind of a situation as to how the lease is to be modified in such cases where a train has been extended to a station beyond its original destination.

3.0 In this regard, the following policy guidelines may be followed by the zonal railways.

(i) In cases where the existing lease holder, who was running lease contract upto the earlier destination, is prepared to take the lease for the extended run of train, the same can be considered. 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.

This issues with concurrence of the Financial Directorate of the Ministry of Railways.

Freight concessions permitted under Traditional Empty Flow Scheme may also be granted under this Scheme for durations up to 3 years with the personal approval of General Managers

B. Cargo Aggregation SchemesA 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.

C. Consignment Volume Based Schemes

Railways offer several transportation options differentiated by the volume of consignment booked to a destination terminal. These products have varying tariff rates. Following options are offered to rail users.

1 Block rakesSingle point Block Rake with a wagon composition as notified by the Railway Board will be booked at trainload rate. The present notification regarding minimum number of wagons to be indented and minimum number of wagons to be loaded is given in Annexure I.

Applicability: All goods terminals for traffic moving in all types of wagons.

132

Exclusion: None.

Concurrency: All Incentive Schemes.

Conditions: The Scheme would be available subject to following conditions:

1 Both the Originating and Destination terminal should be notified as either Full Rake Terminal or Half Rake Terminal.

2 Block Rake will have to be indented for prescribed standard rake size. The present list is at Annexure I.

3 In case of non-supply of indented number of wagons, the prescribed minimum number of wagons qualifying for Block Rake should be loaded.

4 Where even the minimum number of wagons qualifying for Block Rake cannot be supplied by the Railway against trainload indent due to shortage of wagons, the rail user(s) shall not be penalized.

5 In cases, where Railways are unable to supply the adequate number of wagons because of operating or any other constraints, the benefit of trainload rate can be extended. However, detailed reasons for non-supply of all the indented wagons constituting a block rake should be recorded by the concerned StationManager/ Yard Master, who in turn should get it confirmed in writing from at least a Gazetted Officer. The modalities for implementation of this instruction may be worked out jointly by Operating, commercial and Accounts Officers of the Railway depending on the local conditions. However, this relaxation will not cover the cases where standard block rakes cannot run due to capacity constraints, unless otherwise decided by Board.

6 In cases where rake is split up during transit due to gradient or other operational reasons but has fulfilled all other conditions for availing trainload rate at originating point, the trainload rate benefit shall be admissible.

7 Trainload rate benefit shall be extended to block rakes at the serving station by clubbing wagons loaded from more than one siding served by the same station or loaded partly from a siding and partly from the station serving that siding for a single destination.

8 Trainload benefit shall be extended to trains originating from one point and terminating at two points provided that the two points are either the serving station and its siding or two sidings of the same serving station, or two sidings notified as independent booking points but operationally branched out from thesame station.

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.

138

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.

139

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.

Sub: Season tickets – reduction in charges for Monthly & Quarterly Superfast Surcharge tickets.

151

1. 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.

152

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. This issues with the concurrence of Finance Directorate of Ministry of Railways.

Sub:Scheme for upgradation of waiting List Passengers.

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) 2951/2952 Mumbai Central –New Delhi Rajdhani Expressii) 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.

155

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 UPGRADED CLASSSleeper to 3AC/FC3AC to 2AC2AC 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.

156

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 coach3-AC : only 4 berths

13. The passengers will be selected randomly by the PRS System as follows:

i) One PNR from the list of general passengers confirmed after RAC /WL management in charting.

ii) Next PNR will be randomly selected from the confirmed PNRs booked under the Tatkal scheme.

iii) 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.

iv) The Remote location passengers confirmed against source berths will not be upgraded.

v) 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.

vi) 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.

vii) 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.

viii) 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

157

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 5IIA 0IIIA 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.

158

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 3IIA 9IIIA 16---------------------------------------------------TOTAL VACANT BERTHS 28In 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

159

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.

Sub:-Scheme for upgradation of full fare paying passengers In continuation of Board letter of even number dated 23/01/2006

(Commerical Circular Nos 8 of 2006), it has been decided that the scheme to upgrade full fare paying passengers to the next higher class against the available vacant accommodation may be extended to all Rajdhani Express trains and following fifteen pairs (Thirty (30 ) trains) leaving source stations w.e.f 06/02/2006:-

S.No. Train No.1 2393/2394 Patna –Delhi Sampoorn Kranti Express2 2723 /2724 Secunderabad –New Delhi A.P. Express3 2627/2628 Bangalore –New Delhi Karnataka Express4 2417/2418 Allahabad –New Delhi Prayag Raj Express5 2505/2506 Guwahati- New Delhi North East Express6 2801/2802 Puri –New Delhi Purushottam Express7 2955/2956 Mumbai –Jaipur Express8 2621/2622 Chennai –New Delhi Tamil Nadu Express9 2625/2626 Trivandrum- New Delhi Kerala Express10 2841/2842 Howrah –Chennai Coromandla Express11 2859/2860 CSTM –Howrah Gitanjali Express12 2559/2560 Varanasi –New Delhi Shiv Ganga Express13 9143/9144 Mumbai –Ahmedabad Lok Shakti Express14 2901/2902 Mumbai –Ahmedabad Gujarat mail15 7053 Chennai –Hyderabad Hyderabad Express

Necessary action may kindly be taken to educate the staff and also general public about the features of the scheme as per details given below

i The facility of upgradation of passengers will be provided without any additional financial burden on the passengers;

160

ii. 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.
