7 3045983/2022 भारत सरकार /GOVERNMENT OF INDIA रेल मंत्रालय /MINISTRY OF RAILWAYS ( रेलवे बोर्ड / RAILWAY BOARD ) No. 2022/TC(FM)/11/06 New Delhi, Dat& ,05.2022 Principal Chief Commercial Manager, Southern Railway, Chennai. Sub: Restriction for booking of parcels to and from intermediate station(s) by train having stoppage of less than 5 minutes. Ref: CCM(FM)/SR’s letter no. C.441/PMS Implementation/Phase-II, dtd. 09.03.2022. CK The proposal sent by the Zonal Railway vide letter under reference has been examined in consultation with Coaching Directorate of Railway Board. It is observed that the PMS implementation policy, issued vide Railway Board's letter dated 19.09.2019, suggests the criteria of earnings being Rs 100/- or more per month or the number of consignments being 100 or more per month, for implementing PMS at any station. The cap of 05 minutes stoppage has been stipulated vide Railway Board's instructions issued vide letter 2003/TC(FM)/11/18 dated 27.02.2004. Southern Railway has mentioned that Parcel offices have been functioning even at those stations where stoppage of the trains were 2-3 minutes. However, it is not clear from the letter whether such parcel offices were functioning after the instructions dated 27.02.2004, or prior to the same. Further, it may be appreciated that efficient and cost-effective implementation/ outcome of PMS can be achieved only when the stations with meager parcel traffic and earnings are excluded. Permitting loading/ unloading of parcels at stations with very short stoppages is likely to affect the punctuality of trains and also adversely impact train operations. Therefore, Zonal Railway may process — jointly by Commercial and Operating departments — to arrange for adequate stoppage time for trains at intermediate station(s), where substantial potential for the Parcel traffic exist, so as to facilitate booking/ loading/ unloading of parcels from such station(s). | (Ashutosh Mishra) Joint Director Freight Marketing
