(ii) Master Circular on GCT/2022/0 issued vide Board's letter No.
2021/TC(FM)/18/23 dated 06.12.2022.

Railway Board is in receipt of Zonal Railways references seeking guidelines
/ Joint Procedure Order (JPO) for reimbursement of ‘Terminal Charge (TC) or
Terminal Access Charges (TAC)’, as applicable to Gati Shakti Cargo Terminal
Operators (GCTOs).

In this regard, attention is invited to GCT Master Circular 2022 dated
06.12.2022, wherein, following instructions have been issued regarding levy of TC
/ TAC and its reimbursement to GCTO -

“Para no. 15 of Schedule ‘1’ — For GCTs being developed entirely on non-
Railway land, Railway will levy Terminal Charges for each rake handled
(as per the applicable guidelines), which will be reimbursed to the GCTO.

Para no. 10 of Schedule ‘2’ - For GCTs established entirely or partially on
Railway land, Railway will levy Terminal Charges and Terminal Access
Charges similar to those being levied on Railway goods-sheds. These TC
and TAC will be shared with the GCTO according to the quoted bid
percentage”.

However, in case of reimbursement of TC/TAC to GCTO, co-ordination
between Commercial, Accounts departments of Zonal Railway and CRIS is
essential. In order to ensure the same, a ‘Joint Procedure Order’ (JPO) has been
formulated containing guidelines on the above subject for and transfer share of
TC / TAC to GCTOs. These instructions will be followed from the date of inception
of GCTs.

A copy of the JPO (jointly signed by Finance/Comml., Accounts, Rates
and Freight Marketing directorates of Ministry of Railway) is annexed herewith.

Zonal Railways may take action accordingly.
