Sanction/intimation under Rule 15 of Railway Services (Conduct) Rules, 1966 for private trade or employment by the railway servant or members of his family. In terms of sub-rule(1) of Rule 15 of Railway Services (Conduct) Rules, no railway servant shall, except with the previous sanction of the Government, engage directly or indirectly in any trade or business, or negotiate for, or undertake any other employment. Also, in terms of sub-rule (3) of Rule 15 of Railway Services (Conduct) Rules, a railway servant is required to report to the Government if any member of his family is engaged in a trade or business or owns or manages an insurance agency or commission agency. For the purpose of these sub-rules, “Government” means the Railway Board in the case of all gazetted and non-gazetted staff in the Railways. Instance have come to notice wherein commercial activities are carried on from the railway quarters allotted to Railway Servants for residential purposes. In this connection instructions have already been issued under Board’s letter No. E(G)2002 QR1-3 dt. 29.4.02 (RBE No.54/2002) clarifying, inter alia, that Railway accommodation allotted to a Railway servant is meant only for his/her bonafide use and cannot be used for any purpose other than residence. Hence, when a request is received from a Railway Servant seeking sanction of the government under sub rule (1) of Rule 15 or when an intimation is given by him / her regarding business/commercial activity by any member of his/her family under sub-rule (3) of Rule 15, he/she should also indicate the address from which the activity will conducted. It should be ensured that such activity is not being conducted and/or will not be conducted from the government/railway accommodation. An undertaking to this effect may also be obtained from the Railway Servant concerned and enclosed with the proposal being sent to Railway Board for further necessary action.
