1/27/25, 8:38 PM CHAPTER XIV REGISTRATION OF INDENTS CHAPTER XIV REGISTRATION OF INDENTS, ALLOTMENT AND SUPPLY OF WAGONS 1401. The rules for the registration of indents, allotment and supply of wagons appear in the I.R.C.A. Goods Tariff. The following further instructions must also be observed. 1402. Railway Administrations may, after due notice to the public, make such temporary local variations in any of the rules laid down in the I.R.C.A. Goods Tariff, as they consider fit. to meet any exceptional circumstances or to prevent misuse. Such variations can, however, be authorised only under the approval of the Chief Commercial Manager and the reasons for the variation allowed should be recorded in all cases. Priority/Wagon Demand Register 1403. A Priority/Wagon Demand Register should be maintained at all goods booking stations. The register should show the date and time of registration, names of the consignor and consignee, description of goods, number and type of stock required, destination station, class of priority, signature of the sender, particulars of loading, etc. 1404. All entries in the Register should be serially numbered. No erasure should be permitted in the Register and any alterations required to be made should be made by striking out an entry and making a fresh entry duly initialled by the authorised persons. 1405. Once indents have been registered, no alteration should be made of the particulars, except that the number of packages registered may be increased to give a better load to the wagon or wagons already indented for. If any other particulars are to be changed, the indent should be cancelled and a fresh indent made in the proper turn. Limit on Registration of Goods 1406. To avoid heavy accumulation of goods oh the goods-shed platform or monopolisation of the limited loading capacity of a station by an individual or a group of traders, a limit may be placed, by the administration on the quantity of goods to be registered. This should take into account the capacity of the station yard, accommodation available in the goods-shed both covered and open, loading capacity, availability of wagons, the nature of the commodity offering, the number of consignors and the trading interests in the locality. This may be done by limiting the quantity to be accepted from any one consignor on any one day. Allotment of Wagons 1407. Allotment of wagons to different areas should be made in such a manner as to ensure that no area gets an undue advantage over another. 1408. The Divisional Office should exercise regular control on the allotment and loading of wagons at stations in their areas. 1409. When the booking of traffic to or via a station is subject to a quota cither in regard to commodity or route, clear instructions should be laid down as to how this quota is to be utilised in each Division. 1410. Subject to the exceptions allowed in paragraph 1411 below, a Registration Fee at the rates prescribed in the I.R.C.A. Goods Tariff in force from time to time should be levied at the time of registration of indents for wagons. This registration fee will be refunded to the consignor when the consignment is booked. However, the Registration Fee is liable to be forfeited in certain eventualities such as cancelling the indent after physical supply of wagons, etc. The rules for forfeiture of Registration Fee are contained in the I.R.C.A. Goods Tariff in force from time to time. Exemption from Payment of Registration Fee 1411.. The registration fee is not to be recovered in the cases prescribed in the IRCA Goods Tariff in force from time to time. https://indianrailways.gov.in/railwayboard/uploads/codesmanual/IRCTCD/TrafficCommericalDepartmentCh14_data.htm#1401. 1/2 1/27/25, 8:38 PM CHAPTER XIV REGISTRATION OF INDENTS ( Authority:-Railway Board letter No. 99/TC-I/101/2 dt. 20-01-06)---acs no. 15 https://indianrailways.gov.in/railwayboard/uploads/codesmanual/IRCTCD/TrafficCommericalDepartmentCh14_data.htm#1401. 2/2
