computerised PRS facility, the same may be withdrawn immediately and merged
with reservation quota of the nearest remote location or that available at the train

Based on the feedback received and the information available in this office,
the matter has been reviewed and it has been decided that no manual charts should
be prepared in case of Outstation Quota and the following practice should be
followed for such locations:

The names and other details of all the persons in whose favour Out station
quota is to be allotted, should reach the nearest Rail Head upto 1800 hours
of the day prior 'to the day of journey, where these names should be fed in
the computerbed Passenger Reservation System befQre preparation of
reservation charts at the train originating station ~r at the remote
location/Rail Head serving that Out station. If necessary, Railways can
defirie the nearest rail head where that train stops as a remote and
reservation charts can be taken out through the system and handed over to
Ticket Checking Staff. In case no names are received within the stipulated
time limit, the unutilized quota will get released to RAC/waitlisted
passengers at the time of preparation of reservation charts.

At those Non-Railhead locations where PRS facility is available at the
location where OS quota has been defined and it is not feasible to comply
with the option given above, such locations should be given the facility of
feeding the name(s) against this quota in the system before preparation of
reservation charts at the train originating station or at the nearest remote

the reservation charts taken out at train originating station or at the remote
