The custody/operation of the keys of the ribbon/ticket roll cover
provided for, in the modified UTS printers is not unauthorisedly
delegated to the booking operators by the supervisor.

Divisions must clearly define the procedure regarding the custody of
the key for printer ribbons and ticket roll, prohibition on disbursal of
mismatch and faded tickets to passengers and lay down distinct and
clear responsibility of the operators/supervisors/administrators of the
UTS locations.

Supervisor/In charge of Booking Office should check the NI register
daily. Repeated cases of Non-Issue (NI) of high value tickets by a
particular booking clerk should be noted by the supervisor/ staff
entrusted with the checking of the NI statement at the location and
brought to the notice of the administration.

Immediate /Periodic drives should be conducted by
CCI’s/CBSR’s/TIA’s to check DTC of the last three months and if any
cases of 05 or more instances of NI tickets the staff operated in the shift
and any other serious irregularities noticed during the drives may be
reported to the administration.

Instances of the supervisory interventions to be recorded in the daily
report of the station counters. Inspecting supervisors/ officers should
regularly check the statement, and repeated cases of mismatch of
tickets should not be condoned.

At small stations or during night shifts where single /limited number
staff issuing tickets , the supervisor or the administrator, unique IDs
of the same individual need to be generated and the staff should be
fully responsible for the operations.

Any mismatch noticed by the ticketing checking staff ticket (mismatch
of last four digits of the 8-digits pre-printed stationery number and 4-
digit computer printed number) must be viewed with high suspicion

gates to ensure that the tickets are collected and sent to Traffic
Accounts for scrutiny.
