Indian Railway Establishment Code
Sixth Edition- 2020
PREFACE
There are two volumes of Indian Railway Establishment Code - Vol. I was last revised in 1985 and Vol.II in
1987.Similarly there are two volumes of Indian Railway Establishment Manuals - Vol. I was last revised in 1989
and Vol.II in 1990.
2. Establishment rules and procedures have undergone several changes in past few decades. Hence necessity
was felt to bring about consolidation, delegation, simplification and updation of the relevant rules. It was decided
to merge both the volumes of Indian Railway Establishment Codes and some relevant chapters/rules of Indian
Railway Establishment Manuals into a single volume of Indian Railway Establishment Code (IREC) to be issued by
the President in exercise of powers conferred on him by the proviso to Article 309 of the Constitution of India .
Further, instead of continuing with Indian Railway Establishment Manuals (IREMs) as separate rules, it was
decided to have a separate volume each on Rules for Non-gazetted staff of Indian Railways and Railway
Welfare Rules, to be issued under Railway Board’s powers. The provisions and Chapters included in the present
edition, subject to what is stated in Paragraph 3 below, supersede all the rules and orders on the subject
contained in 1985 edition (IREC Vol.I ) and 1987 edition (IREC Vol.II) to the extent these have been revised and
incorporated in this volume.
3. The revised edition will have twenty Chapters . The Chapter-6 dealing with Medical Attendance Rules stands
deleted. Railway employees, their spouse and eligible dependent(s) will be entitled to medical facility as detailed
in Chapter – VI and other relevant chapters of Indian Railway Medical Manual, 2000 (Third Edition) as amended
from time to time. Contents of Chapter 8 and 12 of the IREC Vol.I (1985 edition) dealing with Staff Benefit Fund
and Compensation for injuries and losses etc., have not been included in this edition, but would be incorporated
in the Railway Welfare Rules. Contents of Chapter 10 dealing with State Railway Gratuity Rules have been
dropped because of their irrelevance in today's context. Chapter -19 on Confidential Report was deleted from
the Establishment Code in 2001, hence stands deleted.
