(COMMERCIAL
CIRCULAR NO.I0 OF 2012)
Sub:
Publicity regarding facility of booking of vacant accommodation at
current counters.
As per extant procedure, vacant reserved accommodation available on trains
after preparation of reservation charts can be booked at current counters of the train
originating station upto a specified time before departure of trains.
It appears that
owing to lack of awareness among passengers, this is misused by unscrupulous
elements/intermediaries for providing confirmed accommodation to passengers at a
premium by using the current counter facility. There have been a few misleading
media reports in this regard.
2.
It is, therefore, desired as under:-
(i)
Adequate
publicity
regarding
the
facility
of
booking
of
vacant
accommodation available on trains at current counters of train originating station,
after preparation of reservation charts, may be given through all possible means.
(ii)
Zonal Railways should notify through newspapers and other means, the
names of stations where the facility of reservation at current counters is available.
(iii)
Delhi Division of Northern Railway is showing the train-wise details of
available
accommodation
at
