Please refer to this office letter No, 2001/TG-I/13/P dated 03.10.2002 wherein
instructions have been issued regarding earmarking of accommodation for
TTE/Conductors in Mail/Express trains, Rajdhani Express trains, Shatabdi. Express
trains, day journey trains and Jan-Shatabdi Express trains. The matter has been further
reviewed keeping in view the trains which have been. introduced subsequently e.g.
Duronto, Humsafar, Suvidha Special trains etc. Moreover, the capacity of 3AC
conventional coaches is 64 berths whereas that of LHB 3AC coaches is 72 berths and
that of 3E coaches is 78 berths & hence 3E coaches should be considered at par with
3AC coaches. Accordingly, it has been decided to earmark the following
accommodation for onboard Ticket Checking Staff & RPF/GRP:-

a. Mail/Express trains with sleeping accommodation and leg-wise manning
(Covering normal Mail/Express trains, Mahamana etc.)

e) Accommodation for RPF/GRP: One side lower berth (berth no. 63 in coach
51) may be earmarked in sleeper class coach in the entire train in which this staff is :

travelling. To make it clearer, if the train is being escorted by GRP, one berth will
be earmarked for GRP and in case the train is escorted by RPF, one berth in sleeper
class will be earmarked for RPF. In case no RPF/GRP is escorting the train, no
accommodation will be earmarked for them.

2. The number of berths/seats to be earmarked in a train for onboard ticket -

checking staff will be keeping in view the composition of the train. In case the
number of staff manning a train on regular basis (working as per roster) is less, the
number of berths/seats to be earmarked for onboard ticket checking staff can be
reduced and the same can be reviewed also subsequently based on manning on
regular basis (working as per roster) subject to maximum yardstick indicated above.
In the train also the number of berths/seats to be utilized by the onboard ticket
checking staff will be equal to the number of staff and the berths/seats in excess will
be released to RAC or other passengers,
