# Apportionment
The earnings from traffic carried over two or more railways are to be shared by them while only one  railway actually receives the money
In cases of through traffic, even though the traffic is carried by more than one railway a single voucher for the traffic is issued by the station from which the traffic originates
After the internal check of such vouchers etc. is completed in the Accounts Office, the earnings are apportioned amongst the railways
The settlement of through traffic transactions as between the railways takes place monthly on the basis of net results of such apportionment.
The period for the completion of accounts and for the settlement, among railways, of 'through' traffic transactions, is the complete calendar month.

<!-- Slide number: 3 -->
# Why apportionment
Now topay traffic is withdrawn for goods and parcels traffic
Freight collected at originating station/siding is accounted in its books though the traffic criss-crosses other railways
Enroute railways also incurs expenditure towards track maintenance, fuel, staff cost, signalling and electric charges etc and needs to be compensated proportionate
Originating/destination  railway incurs more expenses than enroute railways and compensated by paying terminal cost additionally.
Apportionment facilitates in assessing exact performance of each railway and can be used for comparison over the years
