1.Railway Revenues 
The main Railway Revenues are the traffic earnings. The Traffic earnings 
including Sundries and other miscellaneous receipts are initially collected at 
stations, Goods Sheds etc., which are spread over the Zonal Railways. 
The correctness of collections and promptness in accounting of all these 
receipts is checked by the Traffic Accounts Branch of the Zonal Railways. 
The initial records maintained by above units, which do not come under the 
scrutiny of Traffic Accounts Branch are checked by Travelling Inspectors of Station 
Accounts who is responsible to ensure that the returns submitted by these units have 
been correctly prepared and agreed with the initial records maintained by them. 
Therefore, Travelling Inspectors of Station Accounts form the important link 
between the Traffic Accounts Branch and these units, in ensuring the correctness of 
the collections and promptness in accounting of the Railway Revenues.
