Station from the Printing press in due consultation with the Traffic Accounts.
PREPARATION OF TICKET INDENT
TICKET ESTIMATE REGISTER: -
To enable the station staff to prepare indent for card ticket one important register is
maintained by each station namely Ticket Estimate Register. This register is used to watch
and ensure the requirement of tickets to be indented. Estimate of tickets is arrived at the
basis of previous year consumption and also anticipated traffic to occur in the current year
i.e.
(ACTUAL SALE OF PREVIOUS 12 MONTHS)/12 = MONTHLY AVERAGE SALE
This register in revised after every three year unless abnormal variation warrants
earlier revision. Estimate is prepared in three copies out of which one copy is submitted to
Traffic account office, first copy is kept as record and the third is sent to the printing press.
Estimate should be prepared separately for different series of tickets. Assistance of
Commercial inspector should be called for and the estimate should be got verified by
Travelling Inspector of Accounts.

The indent for the printed cards ticket should be placed for all stations for which the
annual requirement is 400 tickets or more for distance up to 250 Kms and 200 tickets for
distance beyond 250 Kms. If the annual consumption of tickets in respect of any one series
at a station is less than 1000 the indent should in every case be a minimum of 1000 tickets
Tickets indent is prepared in five copies as under
1) Record
2) Printing press
3) Accounts
4) Receipt Note
5) Delivery Note
In order to arrive at the requirement of tickets to be indented, the monthly average
sale is multiplied by the summation of periodicity and reserve stock. The stock on hand is
then subtracted from the quantity obtained.
If the required no. Of ticket = R (T), Monthly Average Sale = M,
Periodicity = P, Reserve = R and Stock on hand = S,
Then, R (T) = M X (P + R) - S
