Study Notes
Demurrage Charges
- Demurrage charges are levied for delaying railway stock beyond allowed loading/unloading time.
- Working hours are considered for calculation.
- Demurrage is calculated per wagon, per hour or part thereof.
Demurrage Rate Table (8-wheeler)
- Up to 6 hours: Base rate (₹150)
- 6 to 12 hours: Base rate + 10%
- 12 to 24 hours: Base rate + 25%
- 24 to 48 hours: Base rate + 50%
- 48 to 72 hours: Twice the base rate
- Beyond 72 hours: Thrice the base rate
Other Demurrage Rules
- Applies to all 8-wheeled wagons and coaching vehicles (excluding passenger coaching).
- Rate for 4-wheeler wagons is half of 8-wheeler.
- Working hours are typically 0600 to 2200, extendable/adjustable by DRM.
- Free time is given only during working hours.
- Double free time is given for time outside normal working hours (2200-0600) (excluding private/assisted sidings and goods sheds using TIELS).
- All days are considered working days, except if indent is cancelled after supply, in this case no free time is given.
- Shunting time is deducted during loading/unloading on single or multiple lines If the difference between first and subsequent placement is more than 2 hours, the additional time is treated as non-working time.
- Wagons grouped together are treated as a single unit.
Free Time for Loading/Unloading (in hours)
- Tables detailing free time for various wagon types (open wagons, hopper wagons, flat wagons, covered wagons, tank wagons, military wagons, container, livestock) for both manual and mechanical loading and unloading.
- Time varies based on wagon type and loading/unloading method.
