Chapter XXI
Check of Passenger Traffic Earnings
2101. The check in the Accounts Office of earnings from passenger
traffic involves the check of :—
| (1) |
Ticket Indents (COM/T. 14 Revised); |
| (2) |
Collected
Tickets and Ticket Collector's Reports (COM/T. 8 Revised); |
| (3) |
Local/Through Passenger Classifications of Printed Tickets
(COM/P. 15 and 16 Revised); |
| (4) |
Blank Paper Tickets and Local/Through Returns of Blank Paper
Tickets Appendix VII/C-CM; |
| (5) |
Excess Fare Tickets (COM/T. 12 Revised) and (COM/T. 13 Revised)
;and Local/Through Excess Fare Returns (COM/R. 19-BSF) ;
|
| (6) |
Season
Tickets; |
| (7) |
Local/Through Government Passenger Traffic; and |
| (8) |
Free
Passes. |
2102. Check of Ticket Indents. —Tickets required by a station are
indented for by the Station Master through Ticket Indents (COM/T. 14 Revised).
In the case of printed tickets, the realisation of the amount due to the Railway
is facilitated by the correct fare being printed on them as any mistake in the
amount so printed affects a large number of tickets and is liable to remain
undetected for a long time. The Tickets Indents should, therefore, be checked
very carefully and test checked by the supervising staff to the extent laid down
by the Accounts Officer. When new stations are opened or when fares are revised,
the Ticket Indents should be checked in full by the supervising staff. In the
case of the new series of tickets supplied to the stations, the particulars
should be recorded in the Register of 'New Series' to keep a watch over the
accountal of new series in the relevant passenger classification. Steps should
also be taken to get the relevant Index Numbers (Para 2109) allotted by the
Accounts Office. The Index Numbers should be intimated to the station to
facilitate accountal of issues under the new series by the concerned stations in
the Passengers Classification Returns.
2103. The particulars of
the Indents (COM/T. 14 Revised) passed by the Accounts Office, and the tickets
supplied to the stations by the Superintendent, Printing and Stationery on each
indent should be recorded in a Stock Register to be maintained for the purpose.
Each indent received from stations should be checked in respect of (Columns 1 to
10, 12 and 13). The last progressive number received (Col. 8) should be checked
with reference to the entries made in the Stock Register from the last indent.
The number of Tickets indented for (Column 13) should be checked with the
Estimates of tickets a copy of which is submitted by stations to the Accounts
Office (Paragraph 219 CM). In cases in which Pilgrim or Poll Tax is leviable,
whether in respect of booking or destination stations, it should be seen that
the amount of tax is included in the fare. In the case of Indents for printed
'Return' card tickets and other concession tickets, it should be seen that the
period available for the return journey is correctly indicated.
2104. Check of collected tickets and Ticket Collector's Reports. —The
collected tickets will be received daily from stations along with the Ticket
Collector's Report (COM/T. 8 Revised) and should, on receipt, be dealt with as
indicated below: —
| (1) |
sort the tickets with the object of removing—
|
| (a) |
Local Excess Fare, Blank
Paper and other Paper Tickets to be checked with the monthly returns of Local
Excess Fare and Local Blank Paper Tickets. |
| (b) |
Through Excess Fare, Blank
Paper and other Paper Tickets for submission to the Forwarding Railway Accounts
Offices for check with the Returns of Through Excess Fare and Through Blank
Paper Tickets received from the forwarding stations. |
| (c) |
Free Passes for checks
provided in Para
2148.
|
|
(2) |
Pick out, in respect of any two days between the 3rd and 24th of
the month to be specified by the Accounts Officer and in respect
of all the days from 25th to the 2nd of the following month— |
| (a) |
highest numbers of
collected Local Printed Tickets between pairs of stations for comparison with
the Local Passenger Classifications for Printed Tickets. (COM/P. 15 and 16
Revised) vide Paragraph
2121.
|
| (b) |
highest number of collected
Through Printed Tickets between pairs of stations for submission to the
Forwarding Railway Accounts Offices for check with the Through Passenger
Classification received from the forwarding stations (Paragraph 2121) ; |
| (3) |
Compile from the Ticket Collector's Reports such
information in regard to missing tickets as the Local traffic
authorities may require.— |
2105. In addition to the checks
enumerated in the previous paragraph, the collected tickets and Ticket
Collector's Reports (COM/T. 8 Revised) of a few stations to be selected
by the Accounts Officer for both Local and Through traffic should be
checked to see that they are submitted by the stations daily and are not
accumulated, that no tickets is of expired date or for a station short
of the collecting station, that there are no tickets bearing duplicate
numbers and that the percentage of missing tickets is not high. It
should be seen that the instructions issued by the railway for the
issue, dating, punching etc., of tickets have been duly observed. All
irregularities (including the high percentage of missing tickets)
noticed during the course of the check should be investigated.
Note. —The number of stations for the
purpose of this check should be Selected in such a manner that all the
stations come under check at least once in a year. The collected tickets
and Ticket Collector's Reports of the selected stations should be
completely checked for 3 days in a month, so as to cover one day in each
ten days period.
2106.
The collected passenger tickets received in the Accounts Office
should be destroyed by being reduced to pulp or cut to pieces in a
machine with the exception of those mentioned below which should however
be retained according to the requirements of each case—
| (i) |
Tickets bearing the highest
numbers for the dates these are to be checked in terms of Para
2121.
|
| (ii) |
Tickets in connection with
which irregularities involving debits against stations or refunds to
public are discovered.
|
| (iii) |
Tickets required for intensive
check in the Accounts Office, vide Para
2105.
|
| (iv) |
Tickets required by audit for their check for the reservation of
which advance intimation will be given by that department. (The tickets
required by audit will, however, be checked by that Department within
one month of the date of audit requisition indicating their
requirement).
|
Particular
care should be taken in regard to the custody of these tickets.
2107.
Collected tickets, other than Passenger tickets, should be
checked, in detail with the returns to which they respectively relate.
Thus, Local Luggage etc. Tickets should be checked with the forwarded
returns for such traffic sent in by the issuing station. The Through
collected luggage etc. tickets should be sent to the forwarding railway
Accounts Office for necessary check with the relevant forwarded returns
received from the forwarding stations.
Irregularities noticed by the Accounts Office
in connection with the issue of these tickets by the station staff, should,
apart from taking necessary action in the Accounts Office, be reported to the
Divisional Superintendent or the Chief Commercial Superintendent as locally
arranged.
2108.
Check on non-issued tickets.—The
statement of non-issued tickets (COM/T. 18 Revised) received daily from
stations separately for Local and Through traffic and for Printed Card
and Blank Paper Tickets should be checked with the original tickets
accompanying them to see that each entry is supported by the ticket
received. It should be seen that the tickets themselves have been
marked 'non-issued' and endorsed over the signature of the Station
Master or the Booking Clerk with reasons for cancellation, that they do
not show any indication of having been used and that they have been
submitted by stations on the day of cancellation. It should be ensured
that clerkage charges wherever due
have been calculated and shown in the appropriate column. Frequent submission by
a station of non-issued tickets for an adjacent or the same station should be
viewed with suspicion and investigated by the Travelling Inspector of Station
Accounts. The daily statements of non-issued tickets should be compared
with the monthly summary of such tickets. (See also Paragraph 2112).
2109.
Check of Passenger classification for Printed Tickets (COM/P. 15 and 16
Revised). —. Each series of printed tickets supplied to a
station is allotted by the Accounts Office a serial number called "Index
Number". The Index Number consists of four digits. The digit in the thousandth
place indicates the class of travel in code number. The other three digits in
the unit, tenth and hundredth place indicate the serial number allotted to the
printed series. A particular Index Number in relation to a particular "Station
from" will identify one and only one printed series stocked at that "Station
from". No other series at that station, whether Local or Through, should have
the same Index Number. The Index Numbers should be allotted continuously in
each class. Roneoed lists showing 'Index Number', 'Station to', 'Rate' and
'Index Number' for each series of printed tickets stocked at a station should
be supplied to that station by the Accounts Office for being pasted to the Daily
Trains Cash-cum-Summary Book maintained at the station and Local/Through
Passenger classifications for printed tickets sent to the Accounts Office. The
Local/Through Passenger classifications for printed tickets received in the
Accounts Office with the Roneoed lists pasted thereto will be checked in
respect of rates for new series supplied to the stations for which 'Index
Numbers' have not already been allotted. While checking the rates for such
series, new Index Numbers should, also, be allotted and advised to the stations
concerned. When, however, there is a revision of rates, a complete check of
rates for all the affected series should be exercised in the classification
for the first month from which the revision of rates takes effect.
2110. The check on the correctness of commencing numbers with the closing
numbers for the previous month, net issue of full fare tickets and computation
of amounts for full fare tickets will be done on the computer. This is achieved
by marinating information on master file, for individual series, with regard
to previous, months closing number and rate per issue. After the current months'
processing is over the current month's closing number is picked up and stored in
the information on master file for use during the next month's processing. The
check of concession orders will continue to be done manually.
2111. The number of tickets issued at concession fares and the amount
thereof shown in the Passenger classification for printed tickets should be
checked by the Accounts Office completely in conjunction with the concession
orders received along with the Passenger classification and any corrections
found necessary made in the Passenger classification noting them in a register,
to be maintained for the purpose at the same time for the issue of the Error
Sheet against the station, if necessary, at a later stage.
Note.- Check of Rate sand calculation of
fares by head and hand method for printed tickets issued on concession
vouchers should be excercised to the extent of 10%.
2112.
The credit
taken for non-issued tickets should be verified by comparison with the
Monthly Summary of non-issued tickets which would have already been
checked vide Paragraph 2108.
In case, there is a difference between the total number of non-issued
tickets shown in the relevant Passenger classification and the number of
non issued tickets for the month appearing in the checked Monthly
Summary of non-issued tickets the number of non-issued tickets recorded
in the Passenger classification should be corrected to accord with the
number shown in the checked Monthly Summary of non-issued tickets.
2113. Where tickets are
charged at reduced rates on the authority of concession vouchers (Form 'D',
Privilege Ticket Order, etc.), it should be seen that the documents in support
have been received that they are themselves valid and that fares have been
recovered in accordance with Tariff Rules. Where a part amount of a voucher is
recoverable in cash from its holder at the time of its exchange with the tickets
by the station, and the balance is recoverable from the issuing department, it
should be seen that the full amount of the voucher is accounted for in the
passenger classification and that the portion of the amount recoverable from the
department is billed for.
2114.
The check of’ concession orders and other vouchers received in payment
of passenger fares should be conducted with reference to the following
general points: —
|
(1) |
That the concession order or voucher is issued by the authority
competent to issue it.
|
|
(2) |
That
it bears the stamp of the office of issue. |
|
(3) |
That
it is exchanged within the available dates. |
|
(4) |
That the class and number of tickets issued are noted on the
voucher and are not higher than or in excess of those specified in the
voucher. |
|
(5) |
That,
where required, it bears the acknowledgement of the person receiving the
concession. |
|
(6) |
That
it is otherwise genuine.
|
For this purpose, all officers and heads of
recognized Schools/Colleges authorized to issue concession orders or vouchers
will send monthly to the Accounts Office statements showing particulars of the
vouchers issued by them. These statements should be used to verify the
genuineness of the concession orders by comparing a percentage (to be fixed by
the Accounts Officer) of the vouchers with the statements.
2115. In the case of Privilege
Ticket orders, in addition to the checks enumerated in the previous paragraph,
it should be seen that there are no erasures or alterations, that the signature
of the holder agrees with the specimen given on the order and that the tickets
have been issued in accordance with the rules.
2116.
The
credit taken in connection with tickets issued in exchange for Rail Travel
Coupons should be verified with the original coupons received from the stations
in support of such credits. The verification of the genuineness of the coupons
received from the stations and the adjustment with the other railways of fares
represented by the coupons sold by them should be carried out in accordance with
the detailed instructions issued for the purpose by the Accounts Officer.
2117. In cases where the total of concession fare tickets punched on the
cards (from the Passenger classification as checked by the Accounts Office) and
total of full fare tickets (obtained on the computer by multiplying the number
of tickets sold at full fare with the rate) differs from the total fare shown by
the station, the relevant items (called 'Incorrect Items') are listed on the
computer in the following form and handed over to the Accounts office for check:

The incorrect
items include: —
|
(a) |
Items of undercharge where the total calculated fares are
more than the total station fares.
|
|
(b) |
Items of overcharge where the total calculated fares
are less than the total station fares.
|
|
(c) |
Unmatched items where the monthly issues of a series as
reported in the classification do not have corresponding data with regard to previous month's
closing number and rate
in the master information file. |
|
(d) |
Items for which closing number is lower than the commencing
number (previous month's closing number).
|
|
(e) |
Duplicate items where duplicate monthly data for issues has
been fed for a particular series.
|
|
(f) |
Items to be filled where the data of issues for a series
has been fed without previoussing the previous month's data for
the same series. |
The
reasons for items appearing in the incorrect statement can be: —•
|
(i) |
Punching/coding mistakes. |
|
(ii) |
Calculation mistakes committed by the stations . |
|
(ii) |
Re-start
of the serial number of the series beginning with 00000 after
exhausting the previous stock. |
|
(vi) |
"Out of series" causing break in continuity of
the serial number for a series".
|
|
(v) |
Non-availability of
the master information for newly introduced series.
|
|
(vi) |
Non-processing
of previous month's classification before processing the current
month's classification |
All the entries in the statement of incorrect
items will be checked completely in the Accounts Office to locate cases which
have appeared due to the reasons mentioned above. This is achieved by the
comparison of the entries printed in the incorrect statement with the entries
available in the passenger classification returns of the current month or
previous months. The check by the Accounts Office will indicate that some items
genuinely belong to the categories of undercharge/ overcharge and the other
items need further rectification in the form of either error correction or
adjustments on account of break in the continuity of series. Such changes will
be intimated by the Accounts Office to the Computer Centre. These changes would
be further processed by the Computer Centre to print a statement indicating the
final statement of undercharges and overcharges. This final statement will form
the basis of manual preparation of Error Sheets by the Accounts Office for the
undercharges debitable against the stations. In other cases of undercharges of
or upto 0.50 paise no debit need be raised against the stations at this stage.
Action will, however, be taken in such cases by the Accounts Office as laid down
in para
2803.
2118. The Tickets which have been accounted for as issued 'Out of Order'
should be noted in a register to be maintained for the purpose. Subsequent
regularization of the 'Out of Order’ tickets should be watched with reference to
this register. When 'Out of Order' issues are overtaken, the station will
account for lesser number of tickets in the Passenger classifications giving
reference to the previous 'Out of Order' accountals. Such items will, again,
appear in the statement of Incorrect Cards and will be checked completely by the
Accounts Office with reference to the previous 'Out of Order' accountal in the
'Register of Tickets’ issued 'Out of Order'. Necessary remarks regarding
regularization of’ Out of Order' issues should, also, be given in this register.
2119.
The Machine Section will tabulate,
monthly, a statement showing station-wise total fares and concession
fares for printed card series in the following form separately for Local
and Through Traffic: —
|
Month
|
Station
from |
Total
fares |
Concession
fares |
|
|
|
|
|
The total fares shown in this tabulation for each
station should be checked with the total amount taken to debit in the Station
Balance Sheet under the head "Passenger classification for Printed Tickets" and
debit raised against the station where the total is found to be under-cast in
the Local/Through Passenger Classifications and less accounted for in the
Balance Sheet.
The tabulations from the computer section will
pertain to only those series which have been mechanised. The charges collected
on account of other series like Platform Tickets, Reservation Tickets,
Reservation-cum-Sleeper tickets etc., and other miscellaneous items like
clerkage etc. accounted for through the passenger classification returns should
also be taken into account along with individual station fares as printed in the
statement to reconcile the debit taken by the station in the balance sheet under
the head "PASSENGER CLASSIFICATION FOR PRINTED TICKETS".
2120. The apportionment of earnings for printed tickets relating to through
traffic will be made on the computer in proportion to the Kilometres travelled
on each Railway. Since the fares of the printed series also include, wherever
applicable, elements of Reservations/Sleeper charges like road charges, Accident
Compensation Surcharge, etc., the apportionment of the earnings is undertaken
after excluding the elements other than the basic fare. Road charges have
to be credited to the Railway to which the charges pertain. Inter Railway
financial adjustment on account of payment of Pilgrim/Terminal tax will
not be made. The computer center will supply to the Accounts Office a statement
showing the results of apportionment 3 days before the close of the following
month in the following form: —

From the Computer Statement of apportionment the
amount due to each Railway for printed tickets will be entered in a register to
be maintained for the purpose. The amount due to each Railway in
respect of Blank Paper etc. Tickets will also, be entered in this
Register and the amounts due to the Other Railways on account of Outward
Passenger Traffic advised to them telegraphically two days before the close of
the following month.
2121. The highest numbers of collected Printed Tickets received from
the collecting stations in the case of Local traffic and from the other
railways in the case of Through traffic, will be checked with the
Local/Through Passenger classifications vide paragraph
2104
(2).
2122.
Check of return of Blank Paper Tickets (Appendix VII/CCM). —The
check of fares shown in the accounts foils of Blank Paper Tickets accompanying
the Local/Through return of Black Paper Tickets should be exercised as under: —
|
(i)
Upto Rs. 10
|
One
date in a month. |
|
(ii)
Above Rs. 10 and upto Rs. 30
|
Two
dates in a month. |
|
(iii)
Above Rs. 30 and upto Rs. 50
|
Three
dates in a month. |
|
(iv) Above Rs. 50 and upto Rs. 100
|
Ten
dates in a month. |
|
(v) Above
Rs. 100
|
100%. |
The
check of continuity of Blank Paper Tickets will, however, be cent per
cent.
2123. The amounts on the individual Blank Paper
Tickets should be totaled on comptometer or any other Adding Machine and
this total checked with the total amount of the Blank Paper Tickets
appearing in the Return of Blank Paper Tickets which should also be
obtained, but separately, on the comptometer or other Adding Machine.
When both the totals agree, individual Blank Paper Tickets need not be
compared with the entries in the Return of Blank Paper Tickets. Where
the totals do not agree, individual comparison should be made to locate
the discrepancy except where the difference between the two figures is
within the limits laid down by the Riy. Board from
time to time. The Accounts foils of Blank Paper Tickets falling under the
prescribed check should, however, be compared in all respects with the relevant
returns.
2124. In the case of other Paper Tickets, the charges should be checked
completely with reference to the Tariff Rules etc. on the subject and compared
with the amount shown in the Return. Charges for special trains should be
checked in accordance with the Tariff Rules on the subject and with the help of
the tour programmes supplied by the General Manager and the composition
statements sent in by station.
2125. It should be
seen that commencing numbers of Blank Paper and other Paper Tickets
shown in the Return of Blank Paper Tickets agree with the closing
numbers shown in the checked Return for the previous month and that the
tickets issued in the month are accounted for individually in
consecutive order in the case of Local traffic and separately for each
terminal railway grouped in order of' ‘vias’ in the case of Through
traffic and there is no break in the continuity of Machine Numbers. If a
Blank Paper Ticket or other Paper Ticket is not accounted for in the
return of Blank Paper Tickets, the debit to be raised against the
station should be as indicated below: —
|
(a)
BLANK PAPER TICKETS
|
|
Value
range of the Book from which the ticket is missing, |
Amount
of debit to be raised for each missing ticket. |
| (1) Upto
Rs. 10
|
Rs. 10
|
| (2)
Above Rs. 10 and upto Rs. 30
|
Rs.
30
|
| (3)
Above Rs. 30 and upto Rs.50
|
Rs.
50
|
| (4) Above
Rs. 50
|
Either Rs. 50 or
the II class fare upto the farthest station to which the ticket could be
made available in Local booking in the case of Local Blank Paper Tickets and
to the farthest junction with another Railway in the case of through traffic
whichever is higher. |
|
(b)
OTHER PAPER TICKETS |
| (1) Local Paper Ticket
|
Debit should be raised as if the ticket had been
issued to the farthest station to which it could be made available in local
booking. |
| (2) Through Paper Ticket |
Debit should be raised as if the ticket had been issued to the farthest
junction with another Railway. |
In
order to prevent accummulation of Station outstandings on this account,
effective steps should be taken for finalization of the enquiries in regard to
the missing tickets which should, inter-alia, include the check of the
list of missing tickets (received from other railway) with the collected tickets
by the destination railway. It should also be seen generally that no Blank Paper
Ticket had been issued to a station for which printed card tickets have been
supplied. If any tickets are issued and accounted for except in the regular
order of consecutive number, the irregularity should be taken up with the
station through the Divisional Superintendent/Divisional Traffic Superintendent.
It should be seen that both the regular and irregular numbers are shown by the
stations in the Return till the irregular numbers are absorbed.
2126. The check of
Concession Orders and other Vouchers received in payment of passenger fares and
check of credits taken for non-issued tickets and tickets issued in exchange for
Rail Travel Coupons should be exercised in the same manner as laid down in the
case of Passenger classifications for Printed Tickets vide Paragraphs
2112
to
2116.
2127. The entries of Blank Paper and other
Paper Tickets in the Return of Blank Paper Tickets should be compared
individually with the collected tickets received from the destination
stations in the case of Local Traffic and from the Accounts Office of
the collecting railway in the case of Through traffic. In the event of
the tickets not having been collected, the reports (COM/ T-7) submitted by the Ticket
checking stations of the Blank Paper and other Paper Tickets examined by them
separately for Local and Through traffic, should be used to check the issue of
tickets as accounted for in the Return of Blank Paper Tickets.
2128. Finally, the totals
of each page of the Return of Blank Paper tickets should be compared with the
Summary (Appendix VII/D-CM) and the grand total of the Summary in respect of
Blank Paper Tickets checked with the total amount arrived at on Comtometer etc.
Machine, vide Paragraph
2123.
2129. In the case of
through traffic, apportionment of earnings should be made between
railway by the forwarding Railway Accounts Office on the following basis
and accounts of apportionment rendered to the railways concerned three
days before the close of the following month: —
|
(i) |
The total number of tickets by each class and by
each via from each station will be taken. |
|
(ii) |
In the case of traffic involving two
railways only, the forwarding railway's share will be worked out by
multiplying the total number of tickets with the rate per ticket
attributable to that railway on its distance as per the calculated Fare
Table in vogue. The difference between the total amount collected and
the share attributable to the forwarding railway, as worked out above,
will represent the destination railway's proportion. |
|
(iii) |
In the case of traffic involving more than
two railways, the forwarding railway's share will be worked out as in
(ii) above. The intermediate railway's share should be obtained by
taking the total number of tickets and multiplying it by difference
between the fare as per calculated Fare Table from originating station
to the terminal via on the intermediate railway and the fare from the
originating station to the junction via between the originating and the
intermediate railways. The difference between the total amount collected
and the shares of the forwarding and the intermediate railways as worked
out above will represent the share of the destination railway. |
2130. Railway Travel Coupon Books.
—Detailed rules in regard to the sale of Rail Travel Coupon Books to
mercantile firms, touring Government officials, accredited press
correspondents etc. by the Headquarters Office or Divisional Offices or
by stations authorised to sell them are laid down in Para 271 Of the
Indian Railway Commercial Manual. As stated therein, an advice of the
sale is sent, monthly, to the Accounts Office in form Appendix II/F-CM.
On receipt of the advice in the Accounts Office, the remittance of the
amount realized by the sale of Railway Travel Coupon Books should be
verified. The particulars of sales should, also, be recorded in a
Register to be maintained in Form A.2130 for the purpose of verifying
the genuineness of the coupons received from the home railway stations
or other Railway's Accounts Offices (Para
2131) in lieu of
cash (Paragraph
2116).
Separate pages should be allotted in the Register for each Coupon Book.

railways. The coupons remaining unexchanged after the date of expiry recorded in
column 6 will be filled up in column 11.
2131. Rail Travel Coupons issued by one
railway are exchangeable at stations on other railways. The fares
represented by the other railways' coupons exchanged for tickets at home
railway stations should be debited to the railways concerned. Similarly,
in the case of home railway coupons exchanged at other railway stations,
the fares will be debited by other railways. Such debits should be
checked with the Register of CouponsRail Travel Coupons issued
by one railway are exchangeable at stations on other railways. The fares
