PREFACE

            The State Railway Establishment Code, Vol. I was originally published in September, 1940. Subsequently four editions were brought out as Indian Railway Establishment Code, Volume I in 1945, 1951, 1959 and 1971 respectively. The 1971 edition has now been revised to incorporate all amendments issued upto 31-12-83 in respect of relevant provisions, and is issued by the President in exercise of powers conferred o­n him by the proviso to Article 309 of the Constitution of India.

2.         The revised edition of the Code is a self-contained compilation made by rearranging the Chapters of 1971 edition after simplifying and rationalising the existing rules. 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 1971 edition to the extent these have been revised and incorporated in this volume.

3. Contents of Chapter II, III, IV & V of the 1971 edition dealing with Travelling Allowance, Compensatory Allowance, House Rent Allowance and Overtime & Running Allowance, have not been included in this edition, but would be incorporated in the revised edition of Establishment Code Volume II. Contents of Chapters VIII and XIV dealing with 'Passages' and 'Sterling Accounts' have been dropped because of their irrelevance in today's context.  Contents of Chapter X o­n 'Language Examination' have been merged with the Chapter o­n 'Recruitment'. Contents of Chapter XI regarding 'Educational Assistance' have not been included as the relevant material is contained, in Establishment Manual. Contents of the entire Chapter XVII dealing with 'Discipline' have also been excluded as these Rules have already been published in a separate booklet.

Secretary, Railway Board.
