No. 2023/E&R/1(7)/1 New Delhi, dt. 17.07.2023

The General Managers,
All Zonal Railways &PUs.

Sub: Standardized alphabetical codes for Zones & Divisions.

To avoid any mismatch/contradiction in the codes of Zones and Divisions maintained
separately in multiple [R-applications by CRIS & Rate Branch System (RBS), Board (CRB
& CEO) has approved the use of standardized alphabetical codes for Zones and Divisions
across Indian Railways. The list of standardized codes for the above enclosed herewith for
ready reference.

The above directives have been put forth to ensure standardization and uniformity in
the coding system employed across all Indian Railways applications. It is essential that
these instructions are duly implemented within all IR-applications & in each zonal railway to
ensure seamless integration and compatibility across the network and due consideration is
given to Upper and lowercase while using the codes.

The older codes on stations, other installations and rolling stock should be gradually
replaced by the above standardized codes of Zones and Divisions during next painting
cycle/POH etc.
