Instructions have been issued to Zonal Railways for exploiting UTS/PRS
tickets and reservation charts for commercial publicity in order to enhance the
_ earnings through this source. As per extant guidelines, Railways are required to bear
the cost of stationery and printing (including advertisement) and advertisement
charges per ticket/chart are to be paid by the advertisers to the Railways. Open
tenders in this regard are to be invited by the Zonal Railways to get the best offer.
Further, reserve price per ticket/chart is to be fixed by the Zonal Railway with
Finance concurrence so that at least the cost of pre-printed blank stationery and cost

of printing the advertisement is recovered.

The progress of commercial publicity on PRS/UTS tickets and reservation
charts has been reviewed in the Board’s office. It has been observed that sometimes
due to time lag in the procurement of blank stationery and the offers of advertisement
this source of commercial publicity remains unutilized for a considerable period of
time. Moreover, there has also been a need for further improving the quality of

stationery used.

In order to overcome these problems, the following has been decided:

Railways shall invite open tenders from interested parties for supply of the blank
stationery for PRS/UTS tickets, reservation charts and reservation forms with pre-
printed advertisements ह

The party shall quote separately the cost of pre-printed blank stationery (PRS/UTS
ticket or reservation chart or reservation form as applicable) and also the amount
payable by him to the Railways for advertisement in the same tender.

The contract shall be awarded to the party whose bid is the highest (per PRS/UTS
ticket or reservation chart or reservation form as applicable) in terms of net earnings
(quoted amount for advertisement minus quoted price for pre printed stationery) for
the Railways. The cost of the pre-printed stationery will be paid to the selected party
by the Railways. However, advertisement revenue will be collected from the party as
per the bid before making payment for the cost of pre-printed stationery. >

Reserve price per ticket/chart/reservation form shall be fixed by the Zonal Railways

with Finance concurrence ensuring that net earning (quoted amount for advertisement

- minus quoted price for pre-printed stationery) accrues to Railways.

It shall be ensured that the blank stationery is of requisite quality and the
advertisements printed on these PRS/UTS tickets, reservation charts & reservation
forms are as per extant guidelines.

Railways shall also ensure that the firms with proven track record should be selected
as in this field it is noticed that a no. of firms are not printing the tickets as per
specification and also make many errors:

Other existing instructions will continue to be applicable.

This issues with concurrence of Finance Directorate of the Ministry of

Railways.

Please acknowledge receipt. LY.
