The issues raised in the PCCMs conference dated 20.04.2024 and
stakeholders’ meeting held in the Railway Board on 20.06.2024, and various
references received from Zonal Railways regarding ATM / DBU policy have
been examined in the Railway Board. In this regard the Board has decided
as under: -

(i) Para 6 (iii) of Commercial Circular No. 10 of 2023 dated 21.06.2023
may be replaced with the following:

“The minimum reserve price for setting up the ATMs/DBUs for the
purpose of competitive bidding/e-auction shall be 6% of the market value of
railway land (In cases where Railways provides only space) and 12% of the
market value of railway land (In cases where Railways provides built-up
space). Market value shall be worked out in accordance with para 4 of Policy
for Management of Railway Land issued on 04.10.2022.

However, the Auction Conducting Officer (ACO) is authorized to set
reserve prices at lumpsum charge above Land License Fee (LLF) for e-
auctions at various locations to maintain railway revenue.”

(ii) In all places of CC No. 10 of 2023 dated 21.06.2023 and Board’s letter
No. 2024/1 & Trans. Cell / ATM Policy dated 12.04.2024 wherever
ATM/DBU is mentioned, should be read as Automated Teller Machines

years. For contracts of period more than 3 years, 10% compounded annual
escalation of lump-sum freight/ rent/license fees shall be applicable from
fourth year onwards”;

(iv) As per revised guidelines issued vide Board’s letter 2024/I & Trans.
Cell/ATM Policy dated 12.04.2024, ATM/DBU/Banking e-Lobby can be
installed at all categories of stations and also at locations other than railway
stations on IR premises.

(v) Guidelines regarding area for setting up of ATM/DBU has been
provided at para 5 of Commercial Circular No. 10 of 2023 dated 21.06.2023.
Number of ATMs/DBUs that can be accommodated in that area has,
however, not been stipulated. In this regard, it is advised that Zonal
Railways may decide the number of ATM/DBU/Banking e-Lobby which can
be accommodated in the stipulated area, as the license fee is for the
stipulated space provided for ATM/DBU/Banking e-Lobby regardless of the
number/units provided by the licensee in that space. Also, care may be
taken to ensure that no obstruction is caused to the movement of the
passengers/ users.

of the Finance and Land & Amenities Directorates of the Ministry of
