FOREWORD TO SECOND EDITION
 
Land is the costlier asset it is to be maintained with great care. 
Railway could not be done in the absence of full awareness. On 
Indian Railways there is a continuous need to manage Railway 
land professionally. Various instructions on Land Management are 
available in Engineering code, Indian Railways Works Manual & 
various policy instructions and guidelines issued by Railway Board. 
Railway land is to be managed for inspection, proper 
documentation for dealing court cases, holding clear title, custody 
free from encroachment and to fetch earning. Due to fast growing 
economy, demand for Railway land is increasing for leasing, 
licensing, track   crossings, way-leave facilities/easement rights, 
connectivity with ports & private sidings and commercial 
exploitation.
 
The Book on “Hand book on Land Management” was first 
published in year 2016. Now the second revised edition is being 
brought out. Content of this book provide, in addition to provisions 
of new Land Acquisition Act now other procedures i.e. Land 
Acquisition through provisions of Railway Act, direct negotiation, 
transfer of land etc.  
 
 
It is hoped that this book will fulfil the need and assist the field 
engineers in bringing awareness about various instructions on 
Land Management and will be very useful to the field officials in 
their daily working needs.

FOREWORD
Land is a very precious commodity and prone to encroachment and 
therefore, warrants giving due professional importance to 
management of land. in view of many infrastructure projects being 
taken up by Indian railways and all round developments envisioned 
by Indian railways, importance of optimum use of railway land has 
assumed significant importance in terms of way leave 
facilities/easement rights and also leasing and licensing required 
for various crossings and connectivity to ports & sidings keeping in 
line with railway board’s policies.
As various instructions on railway land are scattered in Indian 
railways engineering code, Indian railways works manual and 
various policy instructions / guidelines issued by land & amenities 
(L&A) directorate of railway board from time to time,  a necessity, 
was therefore, felt for compiling various instructions on this subject 
for quite some time. Shri Surendra Kumar Bansal, Dean/IRICEN 
and Shri Niraj Kumar Mishra, Associate Professor/Track/IRICEN 
have made sincere efforts to fulfill this necessity by bringing out this 
volume. I not only hope but also feel confident that the staff and 
engineers in particular and larger fraternity of railways in general 
will find it extremely informative and useful.
