PREFACE
The State Railway Code for the Traffic Department (Commercial), 1939, used to
lay down the rules and instructions bearing on the working of the Commercial
Department and commercial staff. Later, the Railway Board decided that an
Indian Railway Code for the Traffic Department (Commercial), containing only
essential principles, mandatory instructions and policy directives issued by the
Board, should be brought out. The first provisional issue of the code was
published in 1961. It was also decided that an Indian Railway Commercial
Manual, containing procedural rules for the conduct of day-to-day work at
stations by the commercial staff, should be also produced.
2. The Indian Railway Commercial Manual is being brought out in two volumes.
The present publication, Volume I, contains chapters relating to coaching traffic,
booking and carriage of animals and birds and the articles as mentioned in Part
I of schedule II of the Railways (Extent of Monetary Liability and the
Prescription of Percentage charge) Rules 1990. Volume II of the Manual will
deal with matters relating to goods traffic and other miscellaneous subjects.
3. The provisions of this Manual do not supersede or alter or substitute the
rules and instructions contained in the statutory publications like Acts, Codes,
Rules, Tariffs, etc.
4. This edition of the Manual is not only a re-print of the old Manual but also
incorporates the consequential changes in the light of the coming into force of
the new Railways Act, 1989 and the Railway Claims Tribunal Act, 1987.
Wherever necessary text of the relevant provisions from these Acts has been
reproduced at appropriate places in this edition. Shri Arun Kumar Khanna
Commercial Inspector (Marketing) Railway Board, Shri R.S. Yadav Commercial
Instructor Zonal Training School Chandausi and Shri OM Prakash Khurana
Commercial Inspector (Marketing) Railway Board, have rendered valuable
assistance in updating the provisions of the manual.
5. Errors, discrepancies and omissions, if any, noticed in this edition should be
brought to the notice of the Railway Board.
