Typing Test

The minimum speed may be fixed at 30 w.p.m. in English and 25 w.p.m in Hindi for the typing test to be conducted on both Manual typewriters and Personal Computers.

(ii) 5% mistakes of the total words typed may be ignored and thereafter for every mistake corresponding words may be deducted from the total words typed for arriving at final speed.

For Example:-

For a typing test of 10 minutes:-

5% mistakes of total words typed are ignored.

Total strokes typed : 1600

Words typed : 1600/5= 320

Mistakes : 19

Ignorable mistakes : 5% of 320= 16

Remaining mistakes : 19-16=3

Mistakes to be deducted for : 320-(3x10)=290

arriving a net words typed

As per formula: No. of total words typed-(No. of mistakes x10)/time

Speed per minute : 290/10= 29

(iii) Use of editing tools for correcting the mistakes of the typed matter should not be permitted in case typing test is conducted on computer if the candidate opts to type at speed of 25.wp.m. in Hindi and 30 w.p.m. in English. This function should be disabled before conducting typing test.

(iv) In case, typewriting skills are tested on Personal Computers (PCs) at the speed of 40 w.p.m. in English and 35 w.p.m. in Hindi, the use of editing tool for correcting the mistake may be permitted to function as per procedure in vogue but the benefit of ignorance of 5% mistakes will not be allowed.

Compassionate Allowance, Procedure for Grant of Compassionate Allowance

Compassionate allowance 

(Rule 65 of The Railway Services (Pension) Rules,1993)

RBE 79/2005 dt.09.05.2005

In this respect, attention is invited to Rule 65 of Railway Services (Pension) Rules, 1993. In terms of this rule, if the case of a removed/ dismissed Railway servant is deserving of special consideration, the authority competent to dismiss or remove the Railway servant from service may sanction a compassionate allowance not exceeding two-thirds of pension or gratuity or both, which would have been admissible to him if he had retired on compensation pension. The power to sanction or otherwise compassionate allowance is a discretionary power vested in the authority competent to remove/dismiss the Railway servant, to be exercised by that authority suo-motu, at the time of passing orders of dismissal or removal from service or immediately thereafter. Hence past cases where the competent authority, in exercise of its discretionary powers, had not sanctioned compassionate allowance at the time of passing orders of removal/dismissal or immediately thereafter, cannot be reopened for review on the basis of representations received from the removed/ dismissed employees and members of their family at a later date.

The existing guiding principles and procedures for grant of compassionate allowance or gratuity or both are reiterated hereunder or compliance by the concerned authorities.

i) The decision for grant of compassionate allowance or gratuity or both, or otherwise, shall be taken at the time of passing orders of removal/dismissal keeping in view the guidelines given in para 310 of the Manual of Railway Pension Rules, 1950.

[ii] If no mention about the compassionate allowance, etc. is made by the Competent authority while passing orders of removal/dismissal, the Concerned Head of Office shall resubmit the case file along with relevant information/guidelines to the concerned competent authority and obtains decision for or against sanction of compassionate allowance or gratuity or both.

[iii] If the decision is for grant of compassionate allowance, etc., necessary action to implement the same shall be taken by the Head of Office based on the decision of the appellate authority on the penalty orders passed by the disciplinary authority.

[iv] If no appeal is preferred within the target date, sanction order shall be issued immediately thereafter.

[v] If the appeal is preferred within the target date and a decision has already been taken for or against sanction of compassionate allowance, etc., and the same is not turned down by the appellate authority, such a decision shall be treated as final and no representation in this respect shall be entertained at a later date.

[vi] The decision to grant compassionate allowance, etc., shall be communicated through a separate order. This decision shall not form part of the order under which the penalty of removal or dismissal is imposed.

Recently, a case has come to the notice of the Board, wherein the competent authority, while imposing the penalty of removal from service on a Railway servant, sanctioned compassionate allowance without verifying the qualifying service rendered by the latter. Compassionate allowance being one of the classes of pensions and a minimum qualifying service of ten years is a prerequisite for sanction of any class of pension, before sanctioning compassionate allowance, it is absolutely necessary for the competent authority intending to sanction compassionate allowance to a person on whom the punishment ofremoval/dismissal is imposed, to satisfy itself that such a person had rendered not less than 10 years of qualifying service. Board, therefore, desire that the Head of Office should place before the competent authority the information about the qualifying service and other relevant facts concerning the Railway servant either at the time of imposing the penalty of removal/ dismissal or immediately thereafter to facilitate that authority to take a decision as regards sanction of compassionate allowance in terms of Rule 65 of Railway Services (Pension) Rules,. 1993 andg uidelines given in para 310 of Manual of Railway Pension Rules, 1950.

RBE 164/2008 dt.04.11.2008:-

In terms of proviso to Rule 65(1) of Railway Services(Pension) Rules,1993, the authority competent to dismiss or remove a Railway servant from service may, if the case is deserving of special consideration, sanction a Compassionate allowance not exceeding two-thirds of pension or gratuity or both which would have been admissible to him if he had retired on compensation pension. This is the discretionary power vested in the authority competent to dismiss or remove a railway servant, to be exercised by that authority suo-motu, at the time of passing orders of dismissal or removal from service or immediately thereafter. 

Para 1 of Board’s letter of even number dated 9.5.2005 stipulates that past cases where the competent authority, in exercise of its discretionary powers, had not sanctioned compassionate allowance at the time of passing orders of removal/ dismissal or immediately thereafter, cannot be reopened for review on the basis of representations received from the removed/ dismissed employees and members of their family at a later date. In this connection, a number of representations have been received from different quarters for reviewing deserving genuine cases where the competent authority had not passed specific orders for or against grant of compassionate allowance. The issue has also been raised in DC/JCM Meeting held in December, 2007. 

The matter has, therefore, been considered by the Board in consultation with Department of Pension and Pensioners’ Welfare and it has been decided to reiterate that in cases where a decision has already been taken by the disciplinary authority not to grant compassionate allowance, such a decision is final, which should not be reviewed at any later stage. However, in partial modification of Board’s letter dated 09.05.2005, it has also been decided by the Board that out of the past cases in which the disciplinary authority had not passed any specific orders for or against grant of compassionate allowance, if any case appears to be deserving for consideration being given, may be reviewed by the disciplinary authority concerned on receipt of representations of dismissed/ removed employees or the family members of the deceased employees keeping in view the following conditions: 

(i) Only those past cases can be reviewed where records pertaining to D&A proceedings and Service records are available. D&A proceedings are essential to take a fair decision duly considering the gravity of the offence and other aspects involved therein and to confirm that the question of sanction or otherwise of compassionate allowance was not considered by the competent authority at any stage. Service records are essential to adjudge the kind of service rendered by the dismissed/removed employee and to determine the net qualifying service for working out the quantum of compassionate allowance, if sanctioned. 

(ii) Each case will have to be considered on its merits and conclusion reached on the question whether there were any extenuating factors associated with the case that would make the punishment of dismissal/removal, which though imposed in the interest of the Railways, appear unduly hard on the individual. 

(iii) Not only the grounds on which the Railway servant was removed/dismissed, but also the kind of service rendered should be taken into account. 

(iv) Award of compassionate allowance should not be considered if the Railway servant had been dishonest, which was a ground for his removal/dismissal. 

(v) Though poverty is not an essential condition precedent to the award of compassionate allowance, due consideration can be made of the individual’s spouse and children dependent upon him.

On review of such cases, if the competent authority sanctions compassionate allowance to a dismissed/removed Railway servant, the same shall be effective from the date of removal/dismissal. In case the competent authority decides to sanction family pension to the spouse or eligible family member of the deceased Railway servant, compassionate allowance shall be sanctioned notionally from the date of dismissal/removal to make the family eligible for family pension and in such cases family pension shall be payable for the period commencing from the date following the date of death of the removed/dismissed Railway servant.  

Procedure for Grant of Compassionate Allowance: In order to avoid delay in the payment of Compassionate Allowance, the following procedure should be adopted in cases relating to officers removed from service:-

On receipt of the orders of the Competent Authority removing an officer from service for misconduct, insolvency or inefficiency, the Head of the Office, if he proposes to recommend the grant of a Compassionate Allowance, should fill in the application for pension and send it to the Accounts Officer Concerned for report on the title to pension. The Head of the Office should not wait for an application from the officer. If the Competent authority while issuing orders of removal states that a certain proportion of the compensation pension is to be granted as compassionate allowance, no further sanction to pension is necessary, and all that is required is that, the Accounts Officer should certify to the admissibility of the pension on a pension application completed and signed by the Head of the Office as provided in (1) above.

Computers & IT

Advanced Transportation

• Railways all over the world progressively implements Information Technology for improvement in efficiency and for better management.
• Computerised Management Information System (MIS) helps in planning, monitoring and decision making of all modern Railways.
• On IR the development of a system for availability of information on freight operations as an aid to decision making was mooted and first sanctioned in 1983-84 as due to the sheer size and complexity of freight operations the management of freight operations was highly complex.
• Central Organisation for Freight Operations Information System (COFOIS ) which was later replaced by Centre for Railway Information System with a wider scope.
• A prototype of Freight Operations Information System (FOIS) application software comprising Rake Management System (RMS) and Terminal Management System (TMS) was developed by CRIS and implemented in Northern Railway in 2000.
• RMS covered various operational functions relating to routing, tracking and yard activities and had seven submodules while TMS covered the commercial activities pertaining to goods’ sheds such as generation and accounting of Railway Receipts etc and had 11 sub-modules.
• This system is indigenously developed and at present fully functional on Broad Gauge system.
• CRIS also maintains the Systems for Unreserved Ticketing System(UTS) and Passenger Reservation System(PRS)

Integrated Database Management

• Development of an integrated MIS through a Data warehouse comprising Unreserved Ticketing System(UTS), Passenger Reservation System(PRS) and FOIS is proposed.
• The proposed system will boost efficiency. Development of application have been distributed among three pilot projects with an aim to make optimum utilisation of available recourses and to implement the project in a time bound manner with pilot sites at Mumbai, Chennai and Delhi Divisions.
• The project is designed to develop and implement functional modules on the pilot sites and replication of same all over the IR in a phased manner.
• The project is designed to meet the information needs of Managers at Divisional, Zonal and Board levels.
• So far the computerisation on Indian Railways have been in customer related areas like Passenger Reservation(PRS), FOIS, National Train Enquiry System(NTES) etc and some other areas relating to payroll, financial management and inventory and the work done is mainly from the EDP centres attached to Divisional, headquarters offices.
• In order to develop a really integrated and comprehensive information system useful to all level of management , it is necessary to have computer based applications of all underlying activities covering all departments like Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Signal and Telecommunications , Security, Medical etc.
• In order to complete this herculean task in a time bound manner the work is segregated to the pilot sites and modular approach is done for developing functional modules for each department.

Important Computer Applications Of Railways:

Control Office Automation ( COA):

The train operation over Indian Railways is monitored and checked through a control office located in each division. The charting of train run was done by color pen and a scale with the manual calculation of time, distance and other parameters. With automation implemented, the controller only feeds the timings of passing a station and charting is done automatically. All performance parameters involving punctuality, average speed, GTKM, NTKM and PKM etc. are worked out immediately.

Crew Management System ( CMS):

The crew of a train consists of a Loco Pilot, Assistant Loco Pilot, and a Guard. The crew works a train from station A to station B and then works back the train involving interchange from one division/zone to another. CMS has facilitated complete data management of system from signing on to signing off and all the information on the single click of the mouse.

Passenger Reservation System (PRS):

Countrywide Network of Computerized Enhanced Reservation and Ticketing (CONCERT), based on the state-of-the-art client-server technology, has been installed at all the PRS nodes providing the facility for the passengers to book seats/berths on any train on IR from any location.

PRS inquiry facilities for Customers:

• IR’s Website indianrail.gov.in answers queries regarding Accommodation availability, Current status of wait-listed tickets, Trains available between important stations, Train schedules, Fares etc.
• Gives information about the running status of any train, its expected arrival/departure at/from a station, information about passenger amenities, tourist information and scheduled platform berthing of trains at important stations.
• Mobile phone bases SMS inquiry services on berth availability, waitlisted passenger status, train arrival/departure etc.

Unreserved Ticketing System (UTS):

Unreserved ticketing constitutes a major component of the overall ticketing in Indian Railways. It contributes a large amount of earning for Indian Railways.UTS is the complete solution to provide computerized unreserved tickets to railway passengers from dedicated counter terminals, handheld terminals, smart card, automatic vending machines etc. The back-end architecture is 3 tiered. The 4th tier will consist of ticketing terminals (dump, win terms), ATM m/c, Handheld terminals.

UTS Application is divided into two parts front-end and back-end. The frontend is developed using C++ on UNIX platform. And the backend is Sybase, which is used to store information generated at, front-end and supply input value. The application is divided into modules like ticketing subsystem, fare, and UDM & TDM.

The System is giving the following benefits:

• Computerized unreserved ticket from a predefined cluster of location to any station over entire IR
• Computerized Tickets for MST/QST & platform tickets
• Across the counter cancellation of tickets.
• Correct account of the tickets issued with respect to fare applicable including other charges if any
• Elimination of the possibilities of manipulations and malpractice by providing secure access mechanism by way of access control card.

Parcel Management System:

Benefits:

• Reduction in time for weighing and booking
• Advance loading guidance according to availability of space thereby optimum use of available space and control on overloading
• Prior information about the inward traffic
• Loading according to priority
• Web-enabled to know about latest position of the parcel
• Dynamic Management tool
• Reduction in Claims

Parcel Management System has following modules:

• Booking and delivery Modules
• Loading and unloading modules
• Demurrage and Wharfage calculation
• VP and lease Booking
• Printing of Bar Code Labels on packages and scanning
• On-Line Status and tracking

Computerization of Complaints:

• Registration of Complaints
• All complaints received will be entered into the PC. The registration of the complaint should be done in enclosed proforma which should be printed and should be kept in the booklet form in the office of Dy.SS.
• Same proforma should be available at all other complaint registering points whether it is Refreshment Room or Parcel Office or Goods Office or ASM office, etc.
• Once in a day, the book from these locations should be brought to the computer and all complaints should be entered into the computer.
• Complaints received in Railway Board, Zonal offices or Divisional offices should also be entered into the computer. At a later stage, the scanner can also be procured to reduce the workload for entering the complaint.
• Processing of Complaint

After the complaint has been registered into the computer, three possibilities arise:

If the action is required to be taken by the local supervisor for rectification of the defect or initiation of action, a Job Card should be got printed by the system and the same should be handover to the respective departmental supervisor for action and feedback from him should be taken and entered into the PC.

If the complaint is required to be enquired into by the Supervisor/Inspector, in such a case the complaint should be transmitted to the Divisional office. In the Divisional office, a Job Card for action should be printed and the same should be handed over to the CMI/Complaints for conducting the enquiry and fixing the responsibility, who should give feedback to the Complaint Cell in the Divisional office for updating information. The action should be transmitted to the complaint registering unit.

If the complaint pertains to some other Division/Station, in this case, the complaint should be transmitted to the concerned Division/Station by e-mail for taking necessary action. However, original record must be kept at the forwarding location.The e-mail address with NICNET for stations, divisions, Zonal Railways and Railway Board are given in Annexure ‘A’ (not printed). All units are advised to interact with other unite freely irrespective of protocol in order to quickly settle the grievance case.

The complaints which are received by Railway Board will also be sent directly to Zonal Railways, who should re-direct the same to the concerned division or station immediately initiating necessary action. In the connection, action taken by Division or the station will be transmitted to Zonal Headquarter who, in turn, should update the Railway Board. The reply will be sent from Railway Board only.

When the complaint is received by Zonal Railway, the same should be forwarded to the concerned Division and the Division should re-direct it to the station if considered necessary. After an action is taken either at the station or Divisional level the replies are sent to ZR which will communicate with the complainant.

Complaints which are received directly by Division will be directly enquired by CMI/Complaint or sent to the station if considered necessary. In such case, after an action is taken either by Division or the station, feedback should be updated in the system and the complainant is replied.

When the complaint is received at the station, the complainant will be given an acknowledgment on the spot and as far as possible or within 24 hours after receipt of the complaint by the computer itself and if complaint along with the action taken should be forwarded to the Division for replying the complainant.

Thus, to summarize, Railway Board, Zonal Headquarter, Divisional Headquarter, and stations will all register the complaints and send to the concerned units for taking action who will have the responsibility of taking action and advising the unit where the complaint was originally registered.

General Instructions & Maintenance of Database :

Each unit will maintain the data and statistics in respect of complaints registered, complaints transmitted to other locations, complaints received from other locations for action and feedback on complaints and action thereon etc., and also carry out analysis for initiating larger system charges if required.

All the data about complaints back up file should be maintained and kept on floppies on daily, weekly and monthly basis.If at the time of registering the complaint, the passenger writes in English then the same should be fed into the computer. If the passenger insists to give the complaints in the local language and it is being accepted till now the operator will convert it into English before feeding into the computer. Later on, when scanners are procured, the complaints will be entered into the system by the scanner.

The transmission of the complaints should be instantaneous.Each location should monitor the receipt of inward complaints frequently many times in a day.All replies/feedback should be within 3 days but in case of inquiry within 7 days.

Irrespective of the complaint received at any place, Division will be the basic unit for initiation action on the complaints and be giving the feedback to the unit which has originally registered the complaint.All acknowledgments to complainant must be sent within 24 hours.

Integrated Train Enquiry System (ITES):

The system consisting of both IVRS and Manual Enquiry provisions provides details of accommodation available, the current status of tickets and train running status on dialing number 139 as a local call from anywhere in India. Other parts of IR will soon be covered by the system.

National Train Enquiry System (NTES):

National Train Enquiry System (NTES) has been implemented at a large number of stations on the off-line system of PRS so that late running position of trains can be ascertained. In phase II of the system all devices at the station viz. announcement systems, display boards, face to face inquiry and IVRs are required to be connected to NTES, thus giving a uniform arrival times in all the devices.
