eT-RR  
 
The scheme of eT-RR provides facility for transmission of Railway Receipt to rail users 
electronically through TMS/FOIS.   
 
2.0 
PRACTICE 
 
Presently, Railway Receipt (RR) is prepared at the forwarding station after completion of 
loading through TMS. Four foils are printed namely Receipt (RR), Transit Invoice, 
Accounts Foil and Record Foil. RR bears the signature of goods shed staff. Its electronic 
image can be viewed at the destination by goods shed staff in the TMS. RR printed (on 
pre-printed stationery) is given to the rail customer (viz. consignor), who further transfers 
it to the consignee through post or courier. Endorsement of RR is done manually. At 
destination station, delivery of consignment is given on surrender of original RR by 
customer duly taking signature of the invoiced or endorsed consignee(s) on the delivery 
register.     
 
3.0 
CONCEPT OF eT-RR 
 
Electronic transmission of Railway Receipt (eT-RR) envisages a user friendly and 
paperless transaction system wherein RR will be transmitted electronically to rail 
customers. Customers (consignor and consignee both) wishing to avail this facility will 
have to pre-register themselves as per the procedure laid down for registration of demand 
for wagons electronically(e-RD) through FOIS. At the time of booking, the customer may 
opt for eT-RR. After completion of loading, eT-RR will be generated in the system, 
which can be accessed by the customer on FOIS. The consignor will be able to transfer 
the eT-RR to registered user of his organization or to invoiced consignee(s) through 
FOIS. Delivery of consignment will be given on e-surrender of eT-RR by the consignee 
as per the procedure prescribed below. The procedure of e-surrender will also be 
applicable in case of rebooking/diversion. Detailed guidelines are contained in this 
circular. 
 
Note: To promote electronic RR(eT-RR), it has been decided that in cases where physical 
RR is permitted, reason for permitting the same shall be recorded in machine readable 
form.
