Study Notes
Registration of Indents, Allotment, and Supply of Wagons
- Rules for registration are in the I.R.C.A. Goods Tariff; temporary local variations are allowed, but with Chief Commercial Manager approval and justification.
- Railway administrations can make temporary local rules changes to meet exceptional circumstances or misuse prevention.
- A Priority/Wagon Demand Register is maintained at booking stations for consignor/consignee details, goods description, stock type, priority, and related information.
- Entries are sequentially numbered; alterations must be initialled and clearly strike-through the old entry then write the new details.
- Indents can only be altered for increased package numbers, other changes necessitate a cancellation of the indent and a new one.
- Registration limits may be set to prevent over-crowding of platforms or monopolies of loading resources, considering factors such as loading capacity, yard space (covered/open), wagon availability, commodity type, number of consignors, and local trading patterns.
- Allocation of wagons should fairly support all areas.
- Divisional offices control wagon allotment and loading.
- Quotas are used to manage bookings for commodities and routes.
- A registration fee is applicable except for cases specified in the I.R.C.A. Goods Tariff and refunded if the indent is booked; the fee may be forfeited under certain conditions like cancelling the indent after wagon supply.
