Sub:- Charging of fares for high capacity coaches /conventional
coaches and other matters.(Commercial Circular No. 73 of 2008)
Zonal Railway have sought clarifications regarding charging of fares for

high capacity coaches /conventional coaches and other matters. The
clarifications on the issues raised are given below:-
i) Vide Board”s Commercial Circular No.53 of 2008, it was instructed that

high capacity coaches should not be introduced in piece meal i.e.in one
train for one class, the coaches should be either conventional or high
capacity coaches and not a combination thereof. However, in the case of
exigency of service, if a high capacity coach is replaced by a
conventional coach, in that case passenger is not liable to pay the
difference of fare between the high capacity coach &the conventional
coach.
ii) In the case of exigency of service, if a conventional coach is replaced by

a high capacity coach, the passenger will be entitled to get the difference
of fare between the conventional coach &high capacity coach as per
Refund Rules.
iii) CIRS has already made arrangements in the system for recognizing high
capacity coaches and charging of fares accordingly. It may be ensured
that actual type of coach running on the train is fed in the system.
iv) In case journey involves travel in high capacity coach for one leg and in
conventional coach for another leg or vice versa , the fare shall be the
sum of the fares in respective high capacity coach and conventional
coach on telescopic basis. However, if the chargeable fare thus arrived
at is higher than the fare for conventional coach for the entire distance,
the fare for conventional coach will be charged.
In case the first leg of journey is by high capacity or conventional coach

and type of coach for second leg of journey is not known, the entire fare
should be charged on the basis of first leg of journey giving the
telescopic benefit to the passenger.
v) Ordinary passenger trains having high capacity coaches for Sleeper

classes can be charged at lower rates as long as the reservation is
through PRS. If that is not so, then the existing fare (fare for
conventional coaches) is to be charged for high capacity coaches of
Sleeper classes for ordinary passenger trains.
vi) The discounts shall be applicable to all high capacity coaches of all
classes, irrespective of whether newly manufactured high capacity
coaches or conventional coaches whose capacity has been increased
38
through retro-fitment. This discount shall not be admissible in LHB
coaches of any class.

Sub :Tax deduction at source in respect of Railway Payments.
It has been observed by Ministry of Finance that the Tax

deducted/collected at source in the Ministry of Railway is not commensurate with
the budget estimates. The bill drawing and accounts officers must familiarise
themselves of the provisions of the Income Tax Act and associated
responsibilities specially about getting the TAN allotted and e-filing of TDS
returns Complexity of legal provisions also constrains correct appreciation of the
nature of transaction resulting in non- deduction of TDS in cases where
deduction is warranted.
2 In view of the above, following instruction are issued in consultation

with Ministry of Finance/Department of Revenue to clarify such doubts
and to facilitate improved compliance of legal requirements.
3 The Income Tax Act has entrusted the Drawing and Disbursing officers
(Chapter XVII-B) to.
* Deduct Tax at Source at the time of payment,
* Adjust tax at deducted in Government account
through book entry’
* Issue TDS certificates to the deductees,
* File quarterly statements within specified times
.
4 Some other relevant provisions are :-
* All persons deducting or collecting tax at source are required to apply
for and obtain a Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number (TAN)
and to quote the same on TDS/TCS returns, certificates and related
documents (Sec.203A)
* A penalty of Rs. 10,000/- has been specified for failure to obtain TAN,
for non-quoting of TAN or for quoting rong TAN (Sec.272 BB)
* Quoting Permanent Account Number (PAN) of the person in whose
respect tax has been deducted is mandatory for the government
deductors under Section 139A(5B). Similarly, it is also mandatory for
the individuals in whose respect tax is being deducted to intimate their
PAN No.to the Government deductor under Section 139A(5A)
* Any failure in compliance of provisions of Section 139A may attract a
penalty of RS.10,000/- (Section 272B)
5 A detailed examination of the issue has brought-forth the following :
* There is lack of awareness among bill drawing and accounts officers
about the various transactions on which TDS is deductible. A chart
showing payments requiring TDS is enclosed as Annexure I.
* Section 194C of IT act requires TDS on payments exceeding
Rs.20,000 for executing work The provisions of Section 194C shall
apply to all types of Contracts for carrying out any work including
44
transport contracts, service contracts, advertisement contracts,
broadcasting contracts, telecasting contracts, labour contracts,
materials contracts and works contracts.
* It is seen that many times TDS is not made on outsourcing
contracts on the plea that these are contracts of sale. In case of
payment to suppliers. CBDT has clarified that though TDS is not
applicable on contracts of sale of goods, but the same is applicable
on all composite work contracts,service contracts, maintenance
contract, transport contract, material contracts, stores contracts,
turnkey contracts and material contracts where the dominant or
main intent of the agreement is not purchase of material but getting
work done.
* Further , in cases where specific plant and machinery, equipments
etc.are deployed under time contract for rendering services ,it would
not be a contract for service but that of letting out of the plant and
machinery, equipments etc and hence ,TDS would be deductible u/s
194(!) and not u/s194C.
* TCS on various receipts , including from auction of scrap , cotracts
for parking lots etc is required to be collected and deposited.
* All payments made to foreign firms / non-residents are liable to
withholding tax under section 195 of I.T.Act . All agencies entering
into such contracts need to take cognizance of this fact while
finalizing contracts.
* In case of payment of arrears of 6 th CPC ,as already clarified, the
deduction is to be made on 40% of the total arrears paid during the
current financial year.
6 Income Tax Department has also pointed out that some of the
accounts officers are yet to obtain Tax Deduction Account Numbers
while some others are not filing the quarterly TDS returns .This will
make it difficult for concerned deductees to get credit for TDS
deducted from current financial year onwards.
7 It is therefore desirable to immediately assess the compliance of
I.T.Act provisions on your railway and ensure that all functionaries
discharging disbursal functions immediately get registered and
obtain TAN as well as start the process of filing e returns, if not
already done , in a time bound manner .In case any doubt exists
about the role of bill drawing and disbursing offices for TDS related
functions, the same should be immediately clarified .
8 Wherever bill drawing offices and the disbursing accounts offices are
responsible for TDS , the compliance of section 139A (5A) regarding
the quoting of PAN number by all third parties on their respective
claims , when presented may be ensured. All units and formations
submitting employee/ party bills may be directed to ensure quoting of
PAN number on bills presented by them.

Ref: Board’s letters No. 99/TC(FM)/26/1 dated 31.03.2005.
Please refer to para 3 of the Board’s letter No. 99/TC(FM)/26/1 dated

31.03.2005 regarding capital cost of private sidings and related facilities.
It has been decided by the Board that if a new crossing station has to be
constructed for providing connectivity to a siding, the cost of the same shall be
fully borne by the siding owner. Accordingly, it has been decided to insert a new
subpara as 3.3 under para 3 of Board’s letter No. 99/TC(FM)/26/1 dated
31.03.2005.
“3.3 Sidings should normally take off from the existing serving stations.
However, in case when it is operationally not feasible to provide a
connection from an existing serving station or a siding owner
requests for a connection from a location between two existing
stations at his own cost then a proposal for provision of a new block
station may be considered provided.
i) All aspects including the operational feasibility of constructing a new

crossing station with desired number of loops and impact of splitting of
block section on train operations has been examined to the satisfaction of
the zonal railways.
ii) The entire capital cost of the new crossing station including staff quarters,
loop lines, signaling, electrification and other infrastructure shall be borne
by the siding owner.
iii) The siding owner will also pay a lump sum amount which would be equal
to recurring cost towards maintenance and staff deployment for a period of
10 years on the basis of initial deployment of staff at the station. Such
payment shall be made before the commissioning of siding.
81
iv) The siding taking off from such a crossing station shall be constructed as
private sidings only.
As a consequence of the above, the existing sub para 3.3 may be

renumbered as sub para 3.4.
These instructions issue with the approval of the Board (MT, ME, FC and
CRB).
These instructions will come into force with immediate effect.

Sub ; R3i – Railways, Infrastructure for industry Initiative- attracting

private sector participation in rail connectivity projects.
1. Introduction : with the Indian economy growing at a rate of 8% over the

past few Years, new areas are opening for investment many of which do not
have any rail connectivity. These have significant potential for freight traffic and
therefore Indian railways has to be proactive in seizing these opportunities in
order that the high rate of growth of freight traffic in the last few years can be
sustained. However with too many competing demands, resources are a
constraint and alternative sources of funding must be explored and encouraged.
2. Objective : R3i is therefore aimed at attracting private sector
participation in rail connectivity projects so that additional rail transport capacity
can be created. Presently the private and assisted siding rules already permit
private parties to have rail connectivity from the main line. This policy will be in
addition to the above and provide one more option with a significant difference in
that lines constructed under this policy shall be a normal railway line and not a
siding.
The primary objective of this policy is to retain and increase rail share in
freight traffic. It also aims at making rail option more competitive for prospective
customers by sharing their burden in getting rail connectivity.
The policy is primarily aimed at those who consider investment in rail
connectivity projects as a strategic investment in the growth of their business,
one that shall significantly enhance the returns from their primary business.
This policy shall not apply to coal and ore traffic.
88
3. Main Features: The policy has two models viz the Advance
Contribution Model and the SPV Model. The Advance Contribution Model shall
be the preferred mode for connectivity to ports, steel plants , cement plants etc.
4. The Advance Contribution Model

4.1 The new line project shall be a railway project to be sanctioned by
the parliament with a specific reference to the funding of the new line including
railway’s contribution to the project.
4.2 Eligibility : Only those new line proposals shall qualify which are 20
Kms or more in length. The new line proposal would require to have an
acceptable ROR (minimum 12%).
4.3 The applicant could be an individual company or a group of

companies applying together either individually or as a consortium.
4.4 4.4 Land: Wherever land has to be acquired, the same may be done
by IR at party’s cost, with the provision that funds for land acquisition will be
made available by the applicant. The ownership of the land shall however vest
with railways.
4.5 Financing : All contribution by the applicant shall be in the nature of
an advance. No interest shall be payable on the advance except in cases where
the party’s contribution is 90% and above. The percentage contribution of the
applicant shall be decided based on a number of factors including railways prior
financial commitments, traffic projections etc. but in no case less than 50%.
4.6 Concession : The applicant shall be permitted to recover the

advance contribution made by it through a freight rebate of 10%-12%(depending
on the financials of the case ) on incremental outward traffic which will be valid till
the advance contribution made by it is recovered or for a period of 10 years,
whichever being earlier. This is however subject to the condition that 30% of the
advance should be recovered within the first five years after the commissioning
of the line i.e. the applicant cannot recover more than 70% of the advance
contribution in the years 6 To 10.
The freight rebate on incremental outward traffic shall be for the

entire lead of traffic and not restricted to the length of the new line.
Further, in all such cases where the contribution of the applicant is

90% and above, 7% non-compoundable simple interest shall be paid on the
advance contribution on diminishing balance basis. This shall also be paid back
through a freight rebate of 10-12% on incremental outward traffic for a period of
another five years or till the accrued interest is recovered by the applicant
whichever being earlier The applicant can recover both the advance contribution
and the interest only within the specific period laid down for the rebate. If it fails to
recovers the same, the same shall lapse at the risk and cost of the applicant.
89
In case of projects where the applicant may not be directly using
rail services, the Zonal railway shall calculate the total freight traffic booked via
the project line and calculate the refund at the end of the every month by
applying the freight rebate which shall then be refunded to the applicant.
4.7 Ownership : Ownership of the line will remain with railways from the
beginning.
4.8 Estimated Cost : Every project that shall qualify under the scheme
shall have undergone a PETS which should be not more than six months old . An
MOU shall be signed between the railways and the applicant laying down the
broad terms of agreement only after which necessary approvals will be
processed by Railways. Thereafter the Final Location Survey (FLS) will be
Undertaken at the cost of the party.
4.9 Construction : When undertaken by railways :
* The estimated cost of the project, based on FLS, has to be vetted by

the Zonal railway concerned, which shall certify that the standards of construction
laid down are as per the extant rules in force. It will also clearly lay down the
facilities that shall be provided.
*The project cost shall be frozen after detailed estimates are prepared
based on FLS. This will be the “agreed cost” between the applicant and railways.
The period of construction shall also be specified and shall be calculated from
the date land is made available.
*Normally there should not be any cost escalation However any
escalation either due to price variation or otherwise as mutually agreed shall be
shared in the same ratio as per the initial contributions towards the cost of the
project
*The applicant shall immediately deposit 25% of its contribution to the
project when agreed cost is finalized Thereafter from time to time, Railways will
demand balance funds in installments of 25% based on progress of works and
committed liabilities.
However the applicant could also undertake construction of the railway line in
those cases where it is contributing 100% of the project cost
* The estimated cost of the project , based on FLS, has to be vetted by
the Zonal railway concerned, which shall certify that the standards of construction
laid down are as per the extant rules in force it will also clearly lay down the
facilities that shall be provided.
* The project cost shall be frozen after detailed estimates are prepared
based on FLS, This will be the “agreed cost “ between the applicant and
railways.
*After completion of the project, the actual expenditure incurred by the
applicant will be verified by the Railway. This verification will be based on the
certified audited accounts of the applicant. Freight rebate will be applicable on
actual cost or agreed cost ,whichever is less.
90
*The period of construction shall also be specified and shall be
calculated from the date land is made available to the applicant.
*The construction of the line shall be done under railway’s supervision
as per extant rules in force or through a PMC approved by IR.
* The project cost shall include the cost of supervision.
4.10 Railway shall undertake construction in cases where the contribution of
the party is less than 100% of the project cost but the period of
construction shall depend on availability of flow of railway funds and
therefore cannot be guaranteed.
4.11 O&M shall be undertaken by the railways at its own cost.
4.12 Railway shall have the right to provide connectivity to other parties from
the said line In case the line is still under construction a new party could
be asked to share the cost of the new line in a manner to be mutually
decided. The decision of railway shall however be final.
4.13 In case sidings take off from the new line the applicant (s) shall be at
liberty to avail the assisted siding terms.
5. Special purpose Vehicle:
This model shall be applicable to both

* Lines likely to be embedded in the existing railway network as well as
*Lines taking off from the mainline and terminating into a dead end
terminal be it a port steel plant etc.
5.1 An SPV shall be formed between railways and the applicant and
railways share in equity will generally be 26%
Land shall be acquired by zonal Railway at SPV’s cost but ownership of land will vest
with IR.
The project cost shall be frozen after detailed estimates are prepared based on FLS .
This will be the”agreed cost’ between the applicant and railway.
SPV shall be granted a concession, a share in the revenues generated on the project
line, in lieu of construction, operation and maintenance of the line. The revenue
share under the concession shall be broadly as under, subject to modifications
based on financials of the project.
A) For port connectivity projects
a) First 10 years of operation; 100% freight apportionment less O&M charges

due on the project and for next fifteen years, 98% freight apportionment less
O&Mcharges due on the project.
91
B) For embedded line projects
a) For project related traffic: First10 years of operation; 95% freight

apportionment less O&M charges due on the project. Next fifteen years,
90% apportionment less O&M charges due on the project.
b) For other than project related traffic /diverted traffic: 80% apportionment less
O&M charges due on the project for 25 years.
In case the new line becomes a shorter route for existing traffic, railways
shall reserve the right to levy a surcharge on an inflated distance basis.
However , in both the cases the concession shall lapse as soon as the NPV on the
project equity reaches zero at a discounted rate of 14%.
The line and the land shall be owned by MOR from the very beginning.
Minimum Traffic guarantees shall be laid in the concession agreement.
O&M shall be undertaken for the SPV by the railways for which SPVshall
reimburse the costs.
Construction could be done by the SPV itself through competitive bidding or by
railways or RVNL for SPVat the cost of SPV.
6 For the Advanced Contribution Model, Railway board shall circulate the
model concession agreement to the zonal railways for entering into
agreement with the applicant.
7 Planning Directorate shall be the nodal directorate for all matters

concerning this policy and ED/planning shall be the nodal officer.
8 This policy is being issued with the concurrence of Works and Finance
directorate of Railway board.

1.0 In terms of Board’s letter under reference, sanction was conveyed for grant /
extension of freight concession for movement of iron ore booked at Class
200X from West Central Railway , East Cost Railway , South Western
Railway, South Eastern Railway, South East Central Railway and South
Central Railway respectively , subject to fulfillment of certain terms and
conditions. These concessions are valid up to 31.03.2009 , except for South
Eastern Railway where concession is valid till 31.01.09 vides Rates Circular
No. 83/2008.
2.0 Sanction is hereby accorded to extend the validity of freight concession

granted on iron ore traffic ( Class 200 X ) booked from South Eastern
Railway in terms of Rates Circular No. 83/08 beyond 31.01.09 up to 31.03.09,
subject to existing terms and conditions to the extent modified vide para 3
below.
101
3.0 In addition , the amount of freight concession granted on iron ore traffic
(Class 200X) booked from various railway , granted vide various circulars
referred to in above including the extension of concession to South Eastern
Railway, has been further reviewed .
Sanction is accorded to reduce the amount of concession granted on iron ore
traffic (Class 200X ) booked from various railway vide circulars under
reference by Rs. 100 per tonne. However, if the amount of freight concession
in terms of Rates Circular under reference, works out to less than Rs. 100
per tonne, no concession shall be granted at all in terms of instructions
referred above.
Illustration for calculation of freight are given in the enclosed Annexure.
4.0 All the terms and conditions as stipulated in the Rates Circular referred
above will continue apply unchanged.
5.0 These instructions will come into force from 01.02.2009 and will remain valid
up to 31.03.2009.
6.0 This issues with the approval of Traffic Transportation Directorate and with
Illustration 1
Say , 20% concession in freight is allowed for slab 351 km to 450 km, subject to
condition that discounted freight should no be less than NTR at 350 kms.
For 350km, base freight of iron ore at class 200 X is Rs. 1008.0 per tonne. By adding
7% busy season surcharge, NTR comes to Rs. 1078.6 per tonne. Therefore, net
freight for slab 351-450 kms after concession cannot be less than Rs. 1078.60 per
tonne.
Say, for traffic with lead of 370 km, base freight for iron ore (Class 200 X ) is Rs.
1058.4 per tonne. By adding 7% busy season surcharge, NTR comes to Rs. 1132.5
per tonn. By allowing concession of20% , discounted freight comes to Rs 906 per
tonne, but the net freight is restricted to Rs 1078.6 per tonne . In the instant case,
actual amount of concession in freight would have been Rs. 53.9 (1132.5-1078.6)
per tonne as per the existing instruction.
In view of the instructions contained in this circular since the amount of concession
is Rs. 53.9 per tonne (which is less than Rs. 100) no concession will be granted .
Thus the customer will be charged at NTR of Rs. 1132.50 per tonne.
Illustration II
Say, 20% concession in freight is allowed for slab 351 km to 450 km, subject to
condition that discounted freight should not be less than NTR at 350 kms.
For 350 km, basefreight of iron ore at class 200X is Rs. 1008.0 per tonne. By adding
7% busy season surcharge, NTR comes to Rs. 1078.6 per tonne. Therefore, net
102
freight for slab 351-450kms after concession cannot be less than Rs. 1078.60 per
tonne.
Say, for traffic with lead of 400 km, base freight for iron ore (Class 200X) is Rs.
1134.0 per tonne. By adding 7% busy season surcharge , NTR comes to Rs. 1213.4 per
tonne. By allowing concession of 20% discounted freight comes to Rs. 970.72 per
tonne, but the net freight is restricted to Rs.1078.6 per tonne. In the instant case, actual
amount of concession in freight would have been Rs. 134.80 (1213.4-1078.6) per tonne
as per the existing instruction.
In view of the instructions contained in this circular , since the amount of concession
isRs. 134.80 per tonne( which is more than Rs. 100 ), the amount of concession will be
restricted to Rs. 34.80 (134.80-100) . Thus the customer will be charged at discounted
freight of Rs. 1178.60 (1213.4-34.80) per tonne.

Sub: Shunting Charge. (Rates Circular No. 14 of 2009).

Ref: Board’s letters listed below:
Board’s letter number date
1 No.TC-I/87/214/2 dt.13.3.1987
2 No.TC-I/94/214/18 dt.30.9.1994
3 No.TC-I/95/8/8 dt.25.7.1996
4 No.TC-I/99/214/11 dt.1.11.2000
5 No.TC-I/96/214/7 dt.26.6.1996
6 No.TC-I/2002/214/5 dt.25.4.2008
A number of letters as referred to above have been issued on the issue of

Shunting Charge. Time and again clarifications are being sought regarding levy
of Shunting Charge in various cases.
2. Accordingly the matter has been examined. It has been decided to issue
consolidated and revised instructions regarding Shunting Charge in
supercession of all earlier instructions.
3. In view of above, consolidated instructions regarding Shunting Charge are

given below:
3.1 Shunting Charge is leviable for the utilization of Railway’s locomotive to

perform shunting operation at a siding, irrespective of the fact whether the siding
is notified for charging freight on through distance basis or otherwise.
3.2 Shunting Charge is not calculated on the basis of trip time (Trip time method
is applicable only for the levy of Siding Charge). Shunting charge is levied on the
basis of actual shunting time and prevailing ‘All India Engine Hour Cost(AIEHC)’
for ‘Train Engine’ or ‘Shunting Engine’ as the case may be. All India Engine Hour
Cost is circulated every year by Railway Board. The prevailing cost is mentioned
in Rates Circular No. 18 of 2008
3.3 ‘Shunting Engine’ and ‘Train Engine’ are defined below:

􀂃 Shunting Engine means a railway locomotive specifically brought/send for
performing shunting operation.
􀂃 Train Engine means a railway locomotive attached with inward/outward rake.
3.4 Method for calculating Shunting Charge in case of Shunting Engine
104
3.4.1 In case of Shunting Engine, Shunting Charge is calculated for the total time
taken by the Shunting Engine from the time of its departure from the serving
station to the time it returns back to the serving station after finishing the shunting
work.
3.4.2 Wherever one locomotive is required for shunting purpose, then one
Shunting Engine should be used and Shunting Charges should be calculated for
one Shunting Engine. If situation warrants for the use of double/multiple Shunting
Engines, then double/multiple Shunting Engines will be used and Shunting
Charge should be calculated for double/multiple Shunting Engines.
3.5 Method for calculating Shunting Charge in case of Train Engine
3.5.1 In sidings where Train Engine is used for shunting on customers’ account,
Shunting Charge should be calculated for the total time of availability of the Train
Engine at the siding from arrival to departure,
even if shunting time is less than the total time during which Train Engine is
available within the siding.
3.5.2 If a rake is hauled by double/multiple locos of inward train and Train Engine
is to be utilized for shunting purpose, railway should make active use of one
Train Engine only and Shunting Charge should be calculated for one Train
Engine only. However, if situation warrants use of double/multiple Train Engines
then double/multiple Train Engines will be utilized and Shunting Charge should
be calculated for double/multiple Train Engines.
3.6 For the purpose of calculation, the shunting time would be rounded off at the
end of 10-day period and bills shall be preferred accordingly.
4. This issues in consultation with Traffic Transportation Directorate and

concurrence of Finance Directorate of Ministry of Railways.
5. These instructions will be effective w.e.f. 01.3.2009.

permissible carrying capacity if the actual tare is less than the stenciled tare
weight,
Or
Subtracting the difference between the actual rare weight and the stenciled tare
weight form the permissible carrying capacity, if the actual tare weight is more
than the stenciled tare weight
(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.”
(viii) 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
