The matter has been reviewed and it has been decided that whenever a customer places an indent for 
Open wagons and due to non availability of Open wagons, if Hopper wagons (e.g. BOBY, 
BOBR, BOBS, BOBYN, BOBRN etc.) are supplied against such indent, then free time as prescribed for 
Open wagons (mentioned above) will be applicable, irrespective of the commodity handled. However, in 
case Hopper wagons are handled on hopper system, then free time as prescribed for Hopper wagons will be 
applicable. 
The aforesaid modification will be captured in FOIS, i.e. the demand must reflect Open wagons and 
Hopper wagons provided against the Open wagons must be captured in the system. Error message if any 
may be rectified in consultation with CRIS. 
CRIS/FOIS shall provide Zonal Railway wise data(July to November, 2023) regarding Hopper 
wagons provided in lieu of Open wagons to Board's office by I" December, 2023, for review. 
These guidelines will be effective w.e.f.01.07.2023 and valid for six months i.e. upto 31.12.2023.
