subject quoted above wherein guidelines to be followed by zonal

reservation workload is less than 250 berths/seats
(including waiting list and RAC)

ii. Where daily reservation workload is mote than 250 and
less ‘than 500, one RTSA should .be:Jicensed. Thereafter
for every 500 reservation workload per day, oné RTSA
should be licensed

‘iii. In fixing the maximum number of Agents in any financial

- year, the number of daily reservations in the previous

financial year should be taken in to consideration. Where

daily reservations were 250 or more but ‘less than 500, ©

one agent may be licensed. Where daily reservations

- exceed 500 berths/seats but were less than 1000, two

- agents may be licensed. Where daily reservations exceed

1000 berths/seats but were less than 1500, three agents

"may be licensed and so on. However, the actual number '

of agents appointed should depend on the ,availability of

suitable agents and other relevant. considerations which

iv. In cities like Mumbai and Calcutta, which are served by
two zonal railways, the selection of service agents should
be done jointly by the two railways. The selected service
agents should be authorised to make reservations on the

. trains of both the zonal railways. The licence fee should
however, be recovered by each zonal railway ‘separately.

‘than the maximum number of RTSAs to be appointed as
per the above revised guidelines, their number need not
be reduced. except by normal wastage like resignation,

located at different places in the city so as to serve
important business centres, offices, educational
institutions, big residential areas etc
