Model SOP with enhanced delegations brought out in October 2017 was a step in this direction and symbolic of the change that all of us wish to usher I am happy that now a revised version of Model SOP 2018 re अड eeneeeeeas we fe aeeet eg gt organization,with different zones and divisioris having their own unique requirements, SOoné..centralized ‘SOP document cannot address all the requirements of all the units. One size cannot fit all. However, a Model document like.this will serve’as a benchmark to be followed uniformly across units, suitably supplemented. by additional delegations which may be introduced by the’ GMs in consultation with their PFAs as per specific local requirements in accordance with Government of India rules Neediess to add that authority in its wake brings accountability, and a dim view would therefore be taken of any misuse thereof. I hope these delegations would further enable the field officials to improve deliverance and service to our customers. Preamble to Model SOP 2018 Model Schedule of Power (SOP) was issued first time from the Railway Board on October 26, 2018. Subsequently, a need was felt to bring out its revised version, incorporating the correction slips, Railways’ best practices and enhanced delegation of power introduced by Railway Board. A revised Model SOP “Model SOP 2018” is therefore being issued. This Model SOP document is intended to bring in uniformity in delegation of financial and administrative powers across the Zonal Railways, Production Units/NAIR/RDSO (to the extent applicable) and empower PHODs/CHODs & DRMs/CWMs (CWMs include all SAG officers in charge of workshops/depots), including the field officers. GMs could however add further to this delegation in consultation with their PFAs keeping in view the local requirements while being within the overarching powers delegated to them and in accordance with Government of India rules. Chairman RRBs will exercise powers as available to SAG officers (Head Quarter) for items pertaining to them. This Model SOP 2018 covers Works, Medical, Stores, Commercial, Establishment, RPF and Miscellaneous matters including CTIs, IT, PR. Part G of this document contains the SOP for RPF which includes the latest delegations for RPF in March 2018, over and above those existing in Section C (Miscellaneous) of this SOP. CHODs will exercise same powers as available to PHODs. It may be seen that powers delegated to DRMs are generally same for CWMs (in SAG). Principal Chief Security Commissioners (PCSC) of RPF will exercise the powers available to PHODs for matters concerning them. Similarly, the ADRMs (NFSAG) will exercise same powers as ADRMs (SAG). Also, the branch officers in Senior Scale (Independent Charge) will exercise same powers as available to divisional officers in JAG/SG. A branch officer is an officer in the division who directly reports to DRM and is to be treated as independent incharge for all purposes. Also, wherever CWMs are in SS/JAG/SG, the CWE or concerned SAG officer in Head Quarter will exercise same powers as applicable to CWMs (in SAG) for matters pertaining to workshop/depots.
