Sub: Fraud in issue of Excess Fare Ticket (EFT)

Vigilance Dte./Railway Board has highlighted a case of fraud in issuance of
EFTs on one of the Zonal Railways, wherein, the ticket checking staff of the Railway
were manipulating EFTs for their personal gains. The delinquent staff was
manipulating the amount and the destination station in the Accounts and Record
foils of the EFTs. Passenger foil was issued for a higher amount to passenger but the
Accounts and Record foils were for a lesser amount. The staff was misappropriating
the difference in amount. It has been stated that the fraud was not detected in Traffic
Accounts Office also as EFT returns were not being checked timely and properly in
that office.

The codal provisions for Accounts check for EFT are prescribed under Para 2150
onwards in Indian Railway Code for Accounts Department, Part-II (A-II). Please
ensure strict adherence to these provisions in your Traffic Accounts Office. Further,
TIA checks of station records to check manipulation in office records may also be

ensured.

Kindly acknowledge receipt.
