Sub: Stacking of consignment in case of inward rakes at Group-III terminals
Ref: Rates Master Circular/Demurrage-Wharfage-Waiver/2016/0

References have been received seeking guidelines for stacking of consignment in case of
inward rakes.

In terms of Para 7 of Chapter-II of Rates Master Circular/Demurrage-Wharfage-
Waiver/2016/0, guidelines have been laid down for advance stacking at railway premises which
are applicable to customers who have indented for wagons.

The matter has been examined. In addition to aforesaid guidelines, it has been decided to
prescribe guidelines for stacking of consignment in case of inward rake at Group-III terminals,
by inserting an additional Para 8.0 in Chapter-II of Rates Master Circular under reference, as
given below-

“g(Q Stacking of consignment in case of inward rake at Group-III terminals

8.1 Railway may permit stacking of unloaded consignment of an inward rake at nominated
Group-III Goods Sheds/CRTs.

8.2 Goods Sheds where adequate additional stacking space is available should be identified
by the divisions (Sr.DOM or Sr.DCM) in such a way that stacking can be permitted for a
prolonged period without hampering the inward/outward traffic of other rakes in the same
Goods Sheds. DRM will notify detailed instructions for stacking of inward rakes in
accordance with the guidelines prescribed herein. Such instructions should inter alia
include names of stations/goods sheds/CRTs where stacking will be permitted.

83 Customer will be allowed to do stacking without levy of any charge upto permitted free
time for wharfage (viz. 72 hours at present), which is reckoned after expiry of free time

for unloading of wagons.

8.4 Sr.DCM, in consultation with Sr.DOM, can permit stacking of consignment upto five
days (ie.120 hours) and DRM can permit upto seven days (ie. 168 hours) on joint
recommendation of Sr.DCM and Sr. DOM. The upper limit of five days/seven days
includes the prescribed free time (which at present is 72 hours). Inward stacking
permission will be given on levy of “Charge for Stacking” as per the rates given below-
