Railway aims to promote this mode of payment by their customers. 2.0 Scope 2.1 Payment under e-payment scheme will be limited to payment of freight charges at present. Railway may consider payment of other charges through e-payment at a later stage. 2.2 This facility will be available only at terminals where Terminal Management System (TMS) has been commissioned. 3.0 Eligibility 3.1 Any rail customer having regular business with Railway may apply to the Principal Chief Commercial Manager (PCCM) of the Zonal Railway on which the booking station is located (hereinafter referred to as 'the Railway'). 3.2 It will be at the sole discretion of the Railway Administration (PCCM in consultation with PFA of the originating Railway) to accept or reject a request for electronic payment of freight charges through E-payment system, 3.3 Major customers like FCI, Power Houses and Container Train Operators, operating from more than one location, may nominate one nodal branch of the Bank for transfer of funds in respect of all the transactions taking place at different stations of the Railway. They will, however, need to apply for this facility to each Zonal Railway concerned separately. 3.3.1 All Container Train Operators including CONCOR are permitted to operate a single bank account under E-payment system and enter into a single Tripartite Agreement with one Zonal Railway (viz. Northern Railway as nodal Railway) for all the terminals/locations. However, the originating earning will be credited to the originating Railway's bank account by Party's bank and electronic payment advice thereof will be generated at the booking terminal as per E-payment scheme. Container train operators intending to opt for E-payment facility would be required to open Letter of Credit (LC) in favour of Railway. LC amount should be reckoned as LC for all Indian Railways and ERRs will be issued accordingly.
