Last two side berths/last two seats of the lowest reserved class available in
the train should be earmarked for OBHS staff, ¢.g., in the train having
Sleeper Class as the lowest accommodation, berth nos.71 and 72 in 51
coach should be earmarked for them. Similarly, in the trains having AC

Sleeper accommodation only, the last two side berths in B-1 coach should
be earmarked for OBHS staff.

The list of trains in which OBHS facility has been provided will be
forwarded by Mechanical Department to Commercial Department duly

indicating whether this facility is being provided through contractor or
through Railway staff.

In case of non-Railway OBHS staff, the contractor will be asked to deposit
the fare for these berths/seats in advance. A flag will be put in the system
to confirm whether payment has been received from the contractor or not,

The contractor will be required to give the names of the persons who may
be going in the train at least 24 hours in advance. The names of these
persons will be indicated in the chart with a special indication so that the
public is aware of the same,

A provision for the cost of this fare will be kept in the contract at the time
