Study Notes
Wharfage Charges
- Wharfage charges are incurred when goods/consignments remain in a goods shed beyond the prescribed free time for removal.
- Working and business hours (6 am to 22 pm) are generally considered, but this may vary based on the Designated Railway Manager (DRM).
- Free time for removal begins after the free time for loading/unloading has expired.
- Public holidays (August 15th, January 26th, October 2nd) are considered holidays for non-notified goods sheds. Notified goods sheds do not have these public holidays.
- Goods are available for delivery from the day they are connected.
- Goods sheds are categorized into three groups (I, II, III) based on the average number of rakes handled during January to April, viewed in May of every year.
- Group I: More than 12 rakes/month
- Group II: 7 to 12 rakes/month
- Group III: Less than 7 rakes/month
- Classification of stations for wharfage charges is valid until June 30, 2024.
- Specific stations are listed for each group (see below), which are specific to this particular document.

Wharfage Rates
- Rates vary per group:
- Group I: Rs. 150/hour

- Wharfage charges are calculated per part of an hour, not just full hours.
Wharfage Charges for Livestock
- Free time: three hours after the loading/unloading free time.
- Rate: Rs. 5 per livestock per hour. Livestock must be removed from the premises within 12 hours of unloading, or the railway administration may auction it.

- Permission is given after registering a demand for a wagon.
- Wagons are supplied after the expiry of the permit time.
- Cancellation of an indent is not allowed within the first 15 days after the first day of advance stacking.
