Study Notes
Demurrage Charges
- Demurrage charges are levied for detention of railway rolling stock beyond free time allowed for loading/unloading goods.
- Working hours are considered in calculating demurrage changes.
- Demurrage is calculated per wagon, per hour or part thereof after free time expires.
Duration and Rate of Demurrage Charges
| Duration (hours) | Rate (8-wheeler wagon) |
|---|---|
| Up to 6 | Rs 150 (Base Rate) |
| 6-12 | Rs 165 (Base Rate + 10%) |
| 12-24 | Rs 187.50 (Base Rate + 25%) |
| 24-48 | Rs 225 (Base Rate + 50%) |
| 48-72 | Rs 300 (Twice of Base Rate) |
| >72 | Rs 450 (Thrice of Base Rate) |
- Demurrage rates for 4-wheeler wagons are half of the rates for 8-wheeler wagons.
- Standard working hours for Goods sheds are typically from 06:00 to 22:00, though this can be adjusted by the DRM. Extended or modified working hours are possible at the DRM's discretion.
- Free time is only given during working hours.
- Double free time is given for working hours outside the standard 06:00 to 22:00.
- Demurrage rates apply to all 8-wheeled wagons and all coaching vehicles, excluding passenger coaching vehicles.
- Demurrage calculation excludes any time spent on passenger coaching vehicles.
Other Considerations for Demurrage Calculation
-
Free time isn't granted if a wagon indent is cancelled after goods are provided.
-
Shunting (moving wagons) time is deducted from the working hours if loading/unloading is done on a single/multiple lines.
-
If the difference between placing a rake on loading/unloading locations is greater than 2 hours, it's deemed as non-working hours.
-
Wagons positioned together are treated as a single unit/group for calculating the total time. For example, if several wagons are placed together, the demurrage calculation is based on their total combined waiting time.
-
Private and assisted sidings, along with sidings/goods sheds designated for TIELS (presumably a railway organization or system), aren't eligible for the additional free time provisions for working hours outside the standard 06:00 to 22:00.
-
A table provides free time allowances for various wagon types (open, hopper, flat, covered, tank, etc.) for both mechanical and manual loading/unloading. These allowances vary by wagon type and loading method.
