Study Notes
Handling Bills Examination
- Handling agencies are different organizations responsible for handling goods at railway stations, as described in the Indian Railway Commercial Manual, Volume II.
- Handling bills (Form XXIII/B-CM) are received by the Accounts Office for goods/parcel handling by contractors, labor cooperatives, or station masters.
- Handling bills must be examined upon receipt for accuracy.
- Bills must be in favor of authorized personnel for loading/unloading.
- A valid agreement between the railway and the handling party must exist, and security must be deposited with the railway.
- The bills must be signed by responsible parties.
- The station and month(s) involved must be clearly stated.
- Any accompanying statements should be present.
- Bills must not be time-barred.
- Bills must ensure that no work already claimed and paid for has been claimed or paid for again.
Checking Handling Bills
- Handling bills are checked against supporting documents (e.g., local/through paid statements, abstracts).
- Goods outward/inward bills (local/through) should be verified with supporting documentation.
- Parcel outward paid/to-pay (local/through), inward paid (local/through) bills should be checked and verified with supporting documentation.
- Local and through paid statements should be checked, as well as machine-prepared abstracts (returned by destination stations). The supporting calculations of these abstracts should be checked for accuracy by the Accounts Office.
Additional Bill Checks
- Important items (not-lifted goods) must be correctly identified and accounted for on the bill.
- Weight of handled goods should match those in summaries.
- Weights from mills, private firms, etc. with special arrangements, road van traffic, and railway porters should be included correctly.
- Weights of goods with duplicate invoices/way bills require careful verification.
- Weights of goods not reaching destination, those withdrawn at forwarding stations, or having refund overcharges should be included.
- The correct weight of goods handled by multiple agencies, and those handled by departmental crane operations should be accounted for.
Rates and Records
- A record of rates authorized by the competent authority or agreed upon for handling goods must be maintained.
- Bills should reflect the valid rates for the specific station.
- If special rates apply for heavy packages/minerals, this must be reflected on the bill.
- Rates should adhere to those sanctioned for the specific station.
Additional Handling Bills
- Transit bills (change in gauge, transfer, uneven loads) need thorough scrutiny.
- Divisional Officer Incharge of the Commercial Department must countersign these bills.
- Higher rates should not be allowed unless valid.
- Payment claims should be clearly related to work that isn't covered by lump sum or other payments.
- There should be evidence that the billed work is legitimately completed.
- Note: Certain railway zones have divisional accounts offices handling bill checks in addition to the Accounts office checks.
- Bills involving goods transfer between stations or different wagon types (e.g., sick to fit wagons, broken seals) need special scrutiny.
