Project (National Investment).
Deferred Dividend Liability
This is a Contingent Liability and does not appear in the
Balance Sheet.
(i) From April 1, 1978 onwards
In keeping with the recommendations of the Railway
Convention Committee (1977), it was decided that the shortfall
in the payment of current dividend in those years in which
net revenue was not adequate to meet the liability for current
dividend, would be treated as Deferred Dividend Liability
bearing no interest.
The Deferred Dividend Liability from 1978-79 onwards
aggregated to `341.99 crore by the end of March 1992, which
was, however, liquidated in 1992-93.
The Deferred Dividend Liability for the years 2000-01 and
2001-02 to the tune of `2,823.30 crore has also become nil
after payment of Deferred Dividend Liability of `664.00 crore
during 2007-08.
(ii) On New Lines
The Railway Convention Committee allows a moratorium
on payment of dividend on investments in new lines during the
period of construction and for the first 5 years after it is opened
to traffic; cumulative dividend is payable when the line shows
surplus after meeting current dividend liability. The account of
accumulated dividend liability, if any, is closed after 20 years,
extinguishing such unliquidated liability. The amount of this
liability stood at `8,322.65 crore as on March 31, 2011.
Capital-At-Charge
The Capital-At-Charge, mainly comprising Tracks &
Bridges (`50,062.29 crore), Rolling Stock (`19,509.11 crore),
Buildings and Structures including Land (`18,226.44 crore) and
Machinery & Plant (`14,294.20 crore), invested in the Railways
by the Central Government stood at `1,04,544.64 crore at
the end of 2010-11 an accretion of `16,890.00 crore over
the previous year. This is exclusive of the capital invested in
Metropolitan Transport Projects (MTPs) (`6,491.60 crore) and
Circular Railways (`480.27 crore) and amount transferred to
SRSF (`11,954.00 crore) and capital invested on Udhampur-
Srinagar-Baramula line (`7,069.75 crore). This is inclusive of
`9,083.19 crore of PUs.
Railway Capital Fund
In pursuance of the recommendations of Railway
Convention Committee (1991), as contained in their Second
Report, Railway Capital Fund has come into operation from
1992-93. Appropriation to the Fund is from Revenue Surplus
and is intended to finance expenditure on assets of capital
nature. Investment made from the Fund up to 2010-11 was
`38,675.94 crore.
Reserve Fund Balances
As per the recommendations of Railway Convention
Committee (1991), contained in their Second Report, the two
funds, viz. Accident Compensation, Safety & Passenger Amenities
Fund and Revenue Reserve Fund, have been restructured to
accommodate expenditure on Safety and Passenger Amenity
Works. Balance of the abolished Funds has, therefore, been
merged with Development Fund.
The position of the Funds as on March 31, 2011 compared
to March 31, 2010 is as follows:

The total balance in the Reserve Funds as on March
31, 2011 was `342.51 crore, representing a decrease of
`4,689.57 crore over the previous year.
Cash Flow
Finance generated through IR's internal resources
provided `24,828.06 crore during 2010-11.
The details of internal resource generation and utilisation of
funds for financing the Plan outlay are shown in Statement IV of
Financial Statements. During 2010-11, the total Plan investment
was `39,197.92 crore (excluding MTPs & Circular Railways
and amount transferred to SRSF). This was financed from
Budgetary Support to the extent of `16,889.96 crore exclusive
of capital invested on MTPs & Circular Railways amounting to
`550.13 crore and `944.69 crore invested on Dividend free
project of Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramula. The corresponding
position during 2009-10 was that out of a total Plan investment
of `37,435.49 crore (excluding MTPs & Circular Railways and
amount transferred to SRSF), the financing from Budgetary
Support was `15,416.49 crore exclusive of capital invested on
MTPs & Circular Railways amounting to `614.08 crore and
`879.55 crore invested on Dividend free project of Udhampur-
Srinagar-Baramula. The balance of the Plan investment was
met from internal and extra-budgetary resources. During
2010-11, a decrease of the fund balance was also resorted to
the tune of `4,689.57 crore to finance the Plan expenditure.
Audit Objections
IR had a total of 1,293 Audit Notes Part I,782 Special
Letters and 3,592 Audit Inspection Reports as on March 31,
2011 as compared to 1,618, 1,568 and 3,701 outstanding
respectively at the end of March 31, 2010.
IR has a well-structured system of ensuring discussion and
disposal of all audit objections, inspection reports, draft paras,
etc. Tripartite meetings are held at various levels involving the
Audit, Accounts and Executive Departments. The draft paras
are also discussed at the highest levels between Railway Board
and the Audit Department and based on the replies given, many
of them get closed.
Summary of Audit Observations on the working of Ministry
of Railways, as provided by C&AG for the year, is at page 104.
Financial arrangement between the Railways and the
Government
On the recommendations of the Acworth Committee, the
Railway Finances were separated from the General Finances
in 1924-25. Since then, the financial arrangements between
the Railways and the Central Government are periodically
reviewed by a Parliamentary Committee known as the Railway
Convention Committee.
With the formation of the Fifteenth Lok Sabha, a new
Railway Convention Committee (2009) was constituted in
March 2010. The Committee has so far submitted their first
report on Rate of Dividend for 2009-10 and 2010-11 and other
ancillary matters.
"Indian Railway Finance Corporation Ltd. (IRFC), a
Public Sector Undertaking under the administrative control of
the Ministry of Railways has been raising additional resources
through borrowings from domestic and international markets to
finance Plan investment. Market funds raised by the Corporation
are used mainly to finance procurement of rolling stock assets
which are leased by IRFC to IR. Till end of 2010-11, IRFC has
lease financed 2,846 electric and 2,721 diesel locomotives,
1,49,030 wagons, 33,856 coaches, 81 track machines and 4
cranes, with a gross asset value of `69,805 crore. Induction of
these rolling stock into the system has enabled IR to modernize
its fleet, increase carrying capacity and improve productivity.
The lease charges of `6,338 crore were paid to IRFC during
2010-11 to enable the Corporation to service the debt.
IRFC has also been providing market funds to finance
bankable railway projects under implementation by Rail Vikas
Nigam Limited (RVNL). The amount of funds made available to
RVNL till end of 2010-11 is `1,971 crore.
Freight Operation
In 2010-11, IR loaded 926.43 million tonnes of freight
traffic of which 921.73 million tonnes was revenue-earning and
4.7 million tonnes non-revenue-earning, and achieved total net
tonne kilometres (NTKMs) of 626 billion as against 601 billion
in 2009-10. The freight earnings went up from `56,911.51
crore in 2009-10 to `60,687.05 crore in 2010-11, registering a

Freight Rates:
There was no across-the-board increase in freight rates
for the year 2010-11. However, Inflation Concession of
`100 per wagon on booking of Food grains for domestic use
and Kerosene Oil was granted from 1.4.2010.
The taper of the Base Class-100 was rationalized w.e.f.
27.12.2010 resulting in increase in freight rates ranging from
0.15% to 3.95% from 101 to 500 kms and beyond 500 kms
it was flat 4%. However, this modification in taper did not
result in increase in freight rates of Food grains and Chemical
Manures. The classification of Sugar and De-oiled Cakes was
revised from Class-110 to Class-120.
Freight Marketing:
Private Freight Terminals (PFT):
To facilitate rapid development of a network of freight
terminals with private investment to provide efficient and
cost effective logistics services with warehousing solution to
end users, a new scheme namely Private Freight Terminal
has been launched on 31.05.2010. PFT can either be green
field facilities developed by private parties on private land or
brown field facilities, i.e. existing private sidings/container
terminals on private land which can be permitted to be
converted to private freight terminals under the provisions of
the scheme. The scheme will facilitate traffic handling at the
terminals by private investors thereby increasing IRs market
share.
Of the 17 proposals received for PFTs, 4 have been
finalized.
Special Freight Train Operator Scheme (SFTO):
In order to increase rail share in the commodities like
fertilizers, molasses, edible oil, caustic soda, chemicals,
petrochemicals, alumina, bulk cement and fly ash etc., where rail
co-efficient is traditionally very low, a new scheme namely Special
Freight Train Operator Scheme (SFTO) has been launched
on 31.5.2010 to attract private investment in special purpose
wagons required for transportation of these commodities.
Automobile Freight Train Operator Scheme (AFTO) and
development of Automobile and Ancillary Hub:
With a view to increase IRs market share in transportation
of automobile i.e. two/three wheelers, cars and tractors etc. by
inviting private participation for procurement and operation of
special purpose wagons, a new scheme namely Automobile
Freight Train Operater Scheme (AFTO) has been launched
on 19.07.2010 and to facilitate bulk movement of automobile
traffic by rail from the production hubs to consumption centers, a
policy has also been introduced on 16.06.2010 for development
of automobile & ancillary hub at strategic locations for storage
and secondary distribution by road.
Wagon Investment Scheme:
Wagon Investment Scheme has been introduced to cater
to the increasing demand for wagons through investment by
individuals, corporate entities, producers association or groups
like SAIL for procurement of general service wagons of the type
BCN, BTPN, BRNA, BOST and BOBRN.
Liberalized Wagon Investment Scheme (LWIS):
LWIS allows investment in Special Purpose Wagons
(SPW) and High Capacity Wagons (HCW) by end users, viz.,
producers, manufacturers and consumers. Under the scheme
Each rake procured by investor will have an associated loading
and unloading point(s) over specific route(s) or close circuit(s) as
approved by IR. Wagon Leasing Companies can also procure
wagons under this scheme for leasing to end users. A freight
concession of 15% will be granted for 20 years on each loading
of SPW operating in approved close circuits. In case of HCW, a
freight concession of 12% will be granted for 20 years on each
loading and an additional freight concession of 0.5% will be
granted for each additional tonne of payload.
Coal loading at Rangiya Railway Station,
Loading of Iron-ore in Guntakal-Bellary
section, South Central Railway.

wagon at Jogeshwari, Western Railway.
Wagon Leasing Scheme (WLS):
This scheme has been launched to introduce the concept of
leasing of railway wagons on IR just as Aeroplanes, Ships, Road
trucks, etc. are taken on lease. The scheme aims at induction
of rakes through PPP route. HCWs, SPWs and wagons for
container movement are permitted for leasing under this
scheme. Rakes will be procured from wagon manufacturers or
through import subject to compliance of IRS specifications and
mandatory inspections by IR. The policy has been introduced
on 15.4.2008.
Terminal Development Scheme (TDS):
The objective of the scheme, introduced on 15.4.2008,
is to promote development of new railway terminal through
investment from private sector to facilitate rail movement of
freight traffic in specific commodities.
Claims:
IR paid `9.65 crore as claim compensation in the year
2010-11 as compared to `13.99 crore paid in 2009-10. The
number of claims registered by Railways was 0.26 lakh in
2008-09 and 0.21 lakh in 2009-10 and 2010-11. IR registered
0.13 lakh cases and paid `2.82 crore as claim compensation
during the period April to September, 2011 as against 0.11
lakh cases and `5.47 crore as claim compensation during
April to September, 2010.
Several measures undertaken by IR to reduce claim
cases include escorting of Goods trains, proper marking
and labelling of packages to avoid their loss/over-carraige,
deputing Claims Inspector in trains to prevent over-carriage,
provision of dunnage to protect flap doors where required, to
prevent bleeding of sugar, pulses, oil seeds, etc.

Track Modernisation
Track constitutes the basic infrastructure of a railway system
and bears the burden of coping with ever increasing traffic. High
speed and heavy axle load operation on IR has necessitated
upgradation of the track structure. Several policy initiatives have
been taken to modernize the track.
Track structure is upgraded at the time of renewals.
Sleepers are being upgraded from wooden, steel and CST-9 to
PSC sleepers. Heavier section and high tensile strength rails are
being used. Presently, 52 kg/60 kg 90 UTS rails are being used
in place of 90R/52 kg 72 UTS rails. Similarly, long rail panels
or welded rails are predominantly used in place of earlier fish
plated joints. As on 31.3.2011, on BG main lines of IR, about
87.38% of the length is covered by long welded rails, 97% with
PSC sleepers and 89.3% with 52 kg/60 kg 90 or higher UTS
rails.
On most of BG track, rails have been converted into long
welded rails and short welded rails of 39m length. Single rails
are limited to locations where welded rails are not permitted on
technical grounds. As on 31.3.2011, total length of welded track
on main lines of IR was 78,181 kms. of which 65,957 kms. was
with long welded rails and 12,224 kms. with short-welded rails.
Concrete sleepers are economical and technically best
suited for high speed and heavy density traffic. Adequate capacity
has been developed for production of concrete sleepers to meet
the present requirement of IR. During the year, about 75.73 lakh
Broad Gauge mono-block concrete sleepers and 6,473 sets of
PSC turnout sleepers were produced.
IR is working towards progressive mechanization. Induction
of high output tamping machines for packing of plain track as
well as turnouts, ballast cleaning machines and shoulder ballast
cleaning machines for improving drainage of track, dynamic track
stabilizer for controlled consolidation of newly laid/maintained
track, point and crossing changing machines for laying concrete
sleeper turnouts, etc. is a step in this direction. During 2010-11, 29
track machines were procured taking the total at the end of the year
to 616. Track recording cars are deployed for electronic monitoring
of track parameters at periodic intervals to enable planning of
maintenance. As on 31.3.2011, IR has 6 track recording cars.
During 2010-11, a total of 1,56,870 km recording was carried
out.
Bridges
IR has 1,33,160 bridges out of which 720 are important,
10,828 are major and 1,21,612 are minor bridges. In 2010-11,
1,197 bridges, including 16 distressed bridges were rehabilitated/
rebuilt.
Road Over/Under Bridges
To improve safety and reduce inconvenience to road users,
busy level crossings are being replaced by Road Over/Under
Bridges (ROBs/RUBs) gradually. The works of ROBs/RUBs in lieu
of busy level crossings are sanctioned on cost sharing basis with the
concerned State Governments/Local Authorities. During the year,
a total of 257 works were completed on Zonal Railways.
As on 31st March, 2011, 951 ROBs/RUBs have been
sanctioned on cost sharing basis, which are at various stages of
planning and execution. 67 ROBs/RUBs have been completed
during 2010-11.
Level Crossings
As on March 31, 2011, IR maintained 32,735 level
crossings, out of which 17,839 had gate-keepers and 14,896
crossings were unmanned. 434 and 187 unmanned level
crossings were provided with gate-keepers in 2010-11 and
2011-12 (upto June 2011), respectively.
Land Management
IR owns about 4.59 lakh hectares of land. About 90% of
the land is under Railways operational and allied usage such as
laying of new lines, doubling, gauge conversions, track, stations,
workshops, staff colonies, etc.
The break-up of the land is as under:
Description Area
(in lakh hectares)
Track and structures including
stations, colonies, etc. 3.61
Afforestation 0.48
Grow More Food scheme 0.04
Commercial licensing 0.04
Other uses like pisciculture 0.03
Encroachment 0.01
Vacant land 0.38
Total 4.59
Creation of various infrastructure facilities for development
of future rail network largely depends on the availability of land.
Therefore, preservation and meaningful interim use of railway land
is the main objective of IRs land-use policy.
In pursuance of Railways commitment towards
environmental improvement through afforestation and also with a
view to safeguarding the precious railway land against unauthorized
occupation, tree plantation is being undertaken on vacant railway
land with active participation of railway employees. In some States,
railway land in mid-sections has been entrusted to the Forest
Departments for plantation so as to ensure purposeful utilization
and prevention against encroachments.
Besides, railway land is also licensed to Group C and
D categories of railway employees and weaker sections under
Grow More Food scheme, in identified urban areas for growing
vegetables, crops, etc.
Licensing of railway land is permitted for the purposes
directly connected with railway working. Plots of railway land at
stations, goods sheds and sidings are licensed to other parties for

stacking/storing of goods either received or to be dispatched by
rail. Railway land is also licensed to schools, welfare organizations
and for developing shopping complexes in railway colonies for the
welfare of railway employees. Apart from this, sharable railway land
is licensed to Oil Companies for setting up retail outlets and is also
leased to Central/State Governments/Public Sector Undertakings
on long term basis.
Railways have also taken up commercial use of such land
which may not be required by the Railways for its immediate
future use. Through an amendment to Railways Act, 1989,
Rail Land Development Authority (RLDA), under the Ministry
of Railways has been constituted on 1st November, 2006 to
undertake all tasks related to commercial development on railway
land/air-space under the control of Ministry of Railways. So far,
135 sites have been entrusted to the Authority for commercial
development.
Electrification
The advent of electric traction on Indian Railways dates
back to 1925. Starting with DC traction system, IR introduced
electrification on Single-phase 25 kV system and subsequently
adopted the latest 2x25 kV Auto Transformer system on a limited
scale.
During the XI Plan period, originally 3,500 route kilometres
was targeted for electrification which has been reset to 4,500
route kms. in mid-term appraisal of the XI Plan.

Telecommunication:
Telecommunication plays an important role in train
control, operation and safety. With the rapid growth in
telecommunication technology, IR has decided to go for the
state-of-the-art nationwide telecom network for meeting its
communication needs and earning revenue by exploiting
surplus capacity commercially. With this objective, RailTel,
a Railways Public Sector Undertaking was formed in
September, 2000.
As on 31st March 2011, 37,708 route kilometres of
Optical Fibre Cable has been commissioned that is carrying
Gigabits of traffic. RailTel is significantly contributing in
building National Knowledge Network. It is also planning to
provide Broadband connectivity to the Panchayats.
IR has decided to adopt Global System of Mobile
Communication Railways (GSM-R) based mobile train
radio communication. It has already been provided on 1,705
route kilometres and is being extended in other sections.
IR has established its own Satellite hub to facilitate
connectivity for the remote Freight Operations Information
System (FOIS) locations and Unreserved Ticketing System
(UTS) application. IR has also established its Multi-Protocol
Level Switching (MPLS) based Next Generation Networks
(NGN) for voice traffic which has been integrated with all the
zonal and divisional exchanges.
With a view to provide improved passenger amenities,
Train Information Boards have been provided at 1,090
stations, Public Address System at 3,865 stations and Coach
Guidance System at 480 stations.

Measures to improve safety
General:
Safety Action Plans were continually executed to reduce
accidents caused by human errors. A multi-pronged
approach with focus on introduction of newer technologies,
mechanization of maintenance, early detection of flaws,
etc. to reduce human dependence in the first place,
alongwith upgrading the skills of the human resources
were the prime drivers for accident prevention.
Periodical safety audits of different Divisions by multi-
disciplinary teams of Zonal Railways as well as inter-
railway safety audits were conducted on regular basis.
During 2010-11, 119 internal safety audits and 29 inter-
railway safety audits were carried out.
Training facilities for drivers, guards and staff connected
with train operation have been upgraded. Disaster
Management Modules have also been upgraded. During
2010-11, 92,225 safety category employees attended
refresher training.
Collisions:
Pilot project on Anti Collision Device (ACD) to prevent
cases of collisions and to minimize the extent of damage
caused by collisions has been in-service trial on 1,736
route kilometres of Northeast Frontier Railway. Trials with
modified ACD, with improved efficacy, reliability and
availability, are being carried out on electrified multiple-
line & automatic signalling section of Southern Railway.
Work for installation of ACD has already been sanctioned
on 1,600 route kilometres on Southern, South Central and
South Western Railways. Further work has been sanctioned
on 5,160 route kilometres on four more Zones. Action
has also been taken to develop Train Collision Avoidance
System (TCAS) through multiple vendors.
Fouling Mark to Fouling Mark track circuiting on the entire
A, B, C, D, D Special and E Special routes, where
permissible speed is more than 75 kilometres per hour, was
completed. Further, Fouling Mark to Block Section Limit
(straight) track circuiting was completed on A and C
routes. Track circuiting has been completed upto 97.48%
on A, B and C routes.
Pilot projects on Train Protection Warning System (TPWS)
to prevent over speeding/Signal Passing at Danger (SPAD)
is in use since May 2008 on 50 route kilometres of Southern
Railway. Service trials are in progress for the second pilot
project on 200 route kilometres of Delhi-Agra Section.
TPWS has also been approved for deployment on high
density networks/Automatic Signalling Sections covering
895 route kilometres of five Zonal Railways.
Vigilance Control Device (VCD) is a system where if the
driver does not perform a certain set of actions over a
period of time, sound alarms, flashing light and brake
systems start operating automatically. On-board VCD
has been provided on about 75% of Diesel Locomotives
and 25% of Electric Locomotives. Installation of VCD on
remaining Diesel and Electric locomotives is to be carried
out in a phased manner.
Auxiliary Warning System to prevent cases of signal
passing at danger has been working on Mumbai suburban
sections.
Block Proving Axle Counters (BPAC) for Last Vehicle
Check was commissioned on 552 Block Sections in
2010-11, aggregating to a provision of 3,009 BPACs upto
March 2011.
Derailments:
Upgradation of Track Structure consisting of Pre-stressed
concrete (PSC) sleepers, 52 Kg/60 Kg high strength (90
kg/square mm ultimate tensile strength) rails on concrete
sleepers, fanshaped layout on PSC sleepers, Steel Channel
Sleepers on girder bridges has been adopted on most of
the routes.
Track structure is being standardized with 60 kg rails and
PSC sleepers on all the Broad Gauge routes, especially on
high density routes to reduce fatigue of rails under higher
axle-load traffic. New track construction and replacement
of over-aged tracks is being done by PSC sleepers only.
To improve maintenance and reliability of assets, efforts
to eliminate fish-plated joints by welding single rails
into long welded rails were continued. During relaying/
construction of new lines/gauge conversion, long welded
rails are laid on concrete sleepers. Long rail panels of 260
M/130 M length are being manufactured at the steel plants
to minimize number of welded joints. Turnouts are also
being improved systematically.
There is progressive shifting to flash butt welding which is
superior in quality as compared to Alumino Thermic (AT)
welding.
All rails and welds are ultrasonically tested as per laid
down periodicity. Self Propelled Ultrasonic Rail Testing
(SPURT) Cars are being used for Rail flaw detection.
There has been a progressive increase in the use of
Tie Tamping and ballast cleaning machines for track
maintenance. Also, sophisticated Track Recording Cars,
Oscillograph Cars and Portable Accelerometers are being
used progressively.
Modern bridge inspection and management system has
been adopted, which include non-destructive testing
techniques, under water inspections, fiber composite
wrapping, mapping unknown foundations and integrity
testing, etc.
Based on threat perceptions, due to adverse weather
conditions or external interference, patrolling of railway
track including night patrolling as well as intensified
patrolling during foggy weather is carried out at vulnerable
locations regularly.
Progressive fitment of tight lock Central Buffer Coupler
(CBC) in lieu of screw coupling in new design coaches
by ICF has been carried out to prevent the coaches from
climbing over each other in unfortunate event of an
accident.
Design of passenger coaches with features of
crashworthiness to absorb most of the impact energy,
leaving the passenger area unaffected has been developed
and coaches are being manufactured accordingly.
For enhancing safety and reliability of passenger coaches,
the suspension systems are being re-designed with air
springs at secondary stage capable to maintain constant
height at variable loads. Air springs have been developed
and are being fitted on all the newly built EMU and DMU
coaches for suburban trains. Air springs have now been
developed for mainline coaches as well and manufacture
of such coaches has already commenced.
Wheel Impact Load Detector (WILD) are being deployed
in a phased manner.
Derailment prone 4-wheeler Tank Wagons are being
progressively phased out.
Level Crossing Accidents:
To educate road users about safety at unmanned level
crossings, publicity campaigns are periodically launched
through different media like quickies on television, cinema
slides, SMSs, posters, radio, newspapers, street plays, etc.
Joint ambush checks with civil authorities are conducted
to nab erring road vehicle drivers under the provisions of
the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 and the Indian Railways Act,
1989.
As a special measure, powers have been delegated to
the Zonal Railways to sanction new works of Road Over
Bridges and Under Bridges and Sub-ways costing upto
`2.50 crore in each case.
Construction of 67 ROBs/RUBs was completed during
2010-11.
1,665 level crossings were identified for replacement by
sub-ways, out of which 1,393 were sanctioned in 2010-
11. A total of 177 sub-ways were completed during the
year.
Criteria for manning has also been revised to make more
number of unmanned level crossings eligible for manning.
During 2010-11, 434 unmanned level crossings were
manned.
Fire in Trains:
IR have always endeavoured to enhance fire worthiness
of coaches by using more fire retardant furnishing
materials such as Compreg Board/PVC for coach flooring,
laminated sheets for roof, ceiling wall & partition panelling,
rexene and cushioning material for seats and berths, FRP
windows and UIC vestibules etc. Specifications for such
furnishing materials have been periodically upgraded
to incorporate the fire retardant parameters in line with
UIC/other international norms. All new manufacture of
coaches/periodical overhauling of existing coaches is
being carried out with fire retardant specifications of the
furnishing materials.
With a view to improve fire safety in running trains, a
pilot project for provision of Comprehensive Fire and
Smoke Detection System has been taken up in one rake
on Northern Railway. Field trials on this rake are on.
Depending upon the efficacy of these trials, further trials
will be extended.
Guard-cum-Brake Van and AC coaches in all trains are
provided with portable fire extinguishers to cater for
emergencies due to fire accidents.
Improved materials for electrical fittings and fixtures such
as MCB, light fittings, terminal boards, connectors, etc.,
are being used progressively.
Detailed instructions have been issued to Zonal Railways
for observance of safe practices in handling of pantry cars
and for ensuring periodical inspection of electrical and
LPG fittings in the pantry cars.
Intensive publicity campaigns to prevent the travelling
public from carrying inflammable goods are regularly
undertaken.

Managing the Environment
Railways are one of the least polluting modes of transport.
Efforts are being made to further reduce the impact of railway
operation on the environment. Some of the important steps
taken in this direction are enumerated in the succeeding paras.
Eliminating the use of wooden sleepers
Concerted efforts are being made to eliminate the use of
wooden sleepers. IR has stopped using wooden sleepers on main
lines. Composite sleepers made of a polymer matrix, typically
post-consumer recycled high density polyethylene (HDPE),
with reinforcing fibres are being developed as an alternative to
wooden sleepers.
Afforestation
In pursuance of Railways' commitment towards clean
environment and also to safeguard the precious railway
land against unauthorized occupation, IR has undertaken
afforestation on its vacant land on a large scale and brought
approximately 0.45 lakh hectares of railway land under green
cover. During 2010-11, about 94.38 lakh saplings were planted
on railway land.
Energy Conservation
Vision 2020 document envisages sourcing of at least 10% of
energy through new and renewable energy sources and achieving
15% enhanced energy through improved energy efficiency in both
traction as well as non-traction use.
In keeping with policy guidelines for promotion of
renewable energy sources, about 201 number of solar panels
at stations, 587 number of solar panels at level crossing gates,
4 number of solar + wind (hybrid system) for level crossing
gates, 130 number of solar based street lights for colonies
and training schools and 489 number of solar based water
heaters in running rooms/hospitals/rest houses/canteens/base
kitchens, etc. were provided during 2010-11. Approximately
14 lakh CFLs have been distributed to railway households to
help reduce 0.1 million ton of carbon dioxide emissions.
A 10 MW wind mill has been set up at Integral Coach
Factory (ICF), Chennai which is expected to earn about 20,000
CERs (Carbon Emission Reduction) per annum. Two more
wind mill plants of 10.5 MW capacity have been sanctioned for
Southern and North Western Railways through Public Private
Participation.
New trains introduced in Mumbai suburban section
with IGBT based propulsion system have been equipped with
regenerative braking features which have recorded energy
regeneration while braking to the tune of 30-35% of energy
used for hauling these trains.
To leverage the Clean Development Mechanism
framework, IR in association with World Bank, has developed
a Project Design Document for registration with UNFCCC to
reduce carbon dioxide emissions per annum.
Ministry of Power & Bureau of Energy Efficiency have
given 1st & 2nd prize for National Energy Conservation Award
during 2010 to East Coast Railway and Northeast Frontier
Railway respectively. Certificates of Merit were given to South
Central, Southern and West Central Railways for their best
efforts in implementing the energy conservation measures. The
1st and 2nd prize for Hospital Sector under Hospital Category
(Open category) at national level has been given to Railway
Hospital, Kota (West Central Railway) and Bikaner (North
Western Railway) respectively.

Vigilance
Vigilance organization is a major area of management in
the Railways. Its role is to ensure that management decisions
at all levels are taken in accordance with extant rules and
procedures and in an objective and transparent manner.
Steps taken in the direction of preventive vigilance
include organizing courses and seminars to educate the staff
and officers about correct rules and procedures; distributing
educative literature in the form of vigilance bulletins; suggesting
modifications in system to make it more responsive and
transparent; adopting leveraging technology in decision making
to reduce the role of discretionary powers; conducting campaigns
through print and electronic media bringing out the role of public
at large in curbing corruption; exhorting citizens to make use of
the Vig Eye facility set up by the Central Vigilance Commission
and 24 hour vigilance helpline of the Railways.
Other measures taken by Vigilance organization to reduce
corruption include intensifying checks at reservation offices,
booking counters, parcel and goods booking offices and other
such offices which deal with the public; keeping a watch on the
working of officials of doubtful integrity; stringent exemplary
action against those found guilty of corruption; educating
and training of senior officers in the matter of tenders and
contracts; devising steps to empower Railway Protection Force

for future expansion, are identified by Zonal Railways and
entrusted to RLDA for commercial development. The Authority
initially engage a consultant to ascertain the suitability and
potential for commercial development of the site and thereafter
Railway bridge connecting Idapalli and
Vallarpadam, RVNL.
Launching of Griders at the Railway bridge
connecting Idapalli and Vallarpadam,
RVNL.
based on the feasibility report, identify a suitable development
model for its commercial development through an open and
transparent bidding process to generate maximum revenue for
the Railways.
During 2010-11, letter of award for commercial site at
Gaya, Vijayawada and Delhi Sarai Rohilla were issued and a
lease premium of about `380 crore was received. During the
year, market study for 35 sites has been taken up. RLDA has
been assigned the responsibility of developing Multi-Functional
Complexes (MFCs) to provide multiple facilities like shopping,
food stalls/restaurants, book stalls, PCO booths, ATMs, Medicine
and variety store, parking spaces and other similar amenities to
rail users at Railway Stations. 47 MFCs are being developed
through Railway PSUs while 127 MFCs are proposed to be
developed by RLDA through private developers.
DEDICATED FREIGHT CORRIDOR CORPORATION OF
INDIA LTD. (DFCCIL):
Dedicated Freight Corridor Corporation of India Ltd.
(DFCCIL), a special purpose vehicle was created to undertake
planning and development, mobilization of financial resources,
construction, maintenance and operation of Dedicated Freight
Corridor. DFCCIL was registered as a Company under the
Companys Act 1956 on 30th October, 2006.
DFCCIL, one of the largest ever infrastructure projects
being undertaken by the Railways since Independence, will
grossly reduce the travel time of freight trains and will bring
down the unit cost of transportation by segregating freight and
passenger trains. Freight corridor envisages long haul operation
with trailing loads to increase from 5,000 to 15,000 and carrying
capacity to 400 against existing 90 containers.
The construction work has already started on Eastern
and Western Corridors from April, 2009 over a length of about
300 kms. The approved network was 3,300 routes kms. with
Eastern Corridor (about 1,839 kms.) from Ludhiana to Dankuni
and Western Corridor (about 1,534 kms.) from Jawahar Lal
Nehru Port to Tughlakabad/Dadri along with interlinking of two
corridors at Dadri. The Eastern and Western Corridors pass
through 9 States, 60 districts and 2,500 villages.
DFCCIL has engaged M/s RITES to carry out feasibility
study for the following four additional corridors:-

Gist of important Audit Paragraphs
from the Report of the Comptroller
and Auditor General of India Union
Government (Railways) for the year
ended 31 March, 2010 and Status
Report on Pending Action Taken
Notes (ATNs).
Report No.33 of 2010-11 (Compliance Audit)
During 2009-10, Gross Traffic Receipts increased by 9 per cent,
whereas Ordinary Working Expenses grew by 21 per cent over the
previous year. (Paras 1.3.1 and 1.3.2)
Annual growth rate of freight earnings fell from 12.65 per cent to 9.49
per cent and that of passenger earnings from 10.52 per cent to 7.10
per cent. These growth rates were below Compound Annual Growth
Rate (CAGR) achieved in 2000-09. (Paras 1.4.1.1 and 1.4.1.3)
The increase in freight loading by 6.53 per cent over previous year
was below the CAGR of 7.32 per cent achieved during 2000-09.
(Para 1.4.1.1)
Depreciation Reserve Fund (DRF) is used for renewal and replacement
of existing assets. Contribution to DRF was not made on the basis of
historical cost, expected useful life and residual life of the assets but
was dependent on the amount which the working expenses could bear.
Appropriation to DRF was reduced to `2,187 crore from projected
budget estimates of `5,325 crore (July 2009), a reduction of `3,138
crore. (Paras 1.2 and 1.11)
Indian Railways (IR) was unable to meet the operational cost of
passenger and other coaching services. In 2008-09, loss on operation
of passenger and other coaching services stood at `15,268.41 crore.
This loss was `7,493.50 crore in 2007-08. All category of passenger
services (except AC Chair Car and AC 3 Tier) incurred losses in 2008-09.
(Paras 1.6.4.1 and 1.6.4.2)
Net revenue surplus of IR sharply declined from `13,431 crore in 2007-08
to `4,457 crore in 2008-09 and to `75 lakh in 2009-10. This was
mainly due to lower growth rate of traffic receipts and impact of 6th
Central Pay Commission which approximately worked out to `37,472
crore during the period 2008-10. This expenditure includes payment
towards arrears of salary and pension.
(Para1.8)
Operating Ratio (percentage of working expenses to traffic earnings)
of IR deteriorated to 95.28 per cent in 2009-10 from 90.46 per cent
achieved in 2008-09. Out of sixteen zonal railways, eight zones had
operating ratio more than 100 per cent implying that their working
expenditure was more than their traffic earnings. (Para 1.9.1)
Due to non-availability of sufficient internal resources to meet Plan
expenditure, dependency on General Budget increased by `7,606
crore. (Para 1.10)
Depreciation Reserve Fund (used for renewal and replacement of
assets), Development Fund (used for passenger and other users works,
labour welfare works and safety works), Pension Fund (to meet pension
liability) closed at negligible balance of `4.98 crore, `5.41 crore and
`1.24 crore respectively. (Para 1.11)
Railway Safety Fund financed by Railways share of Diesel Cess from
Central Road Fund is used for road safety works viz construction of
road under/over bridges and level crossings. There was continuous
shortfall in utilization of fund since its inception in 2001. Shortfall
ranged between 36 per cent to 55 per cent of Budget estimate.
(Para 1.11)
Development Fund and Capital Fund are appropriated from revenue
surplus. Appropriation from one fund to another is not normally
resorted to as these funds are dedicated for specified purposes. As
surplus was only `75 lakhs, IR transferred `725 crore from Capital
Fund to Development Fund to wipe out the negative closing balance
under the latter. (Para 1.11)
IR spent `1,907 crore in excess of authorization granted by Parliament
in eight revenue grants. (Para 2.2.1)
There was large scale change in priority and re-appropriation of
originally allocated resources from one Plan head (category of work) to
another and from one railway to another which is indicative of tentative
estimation of budgetary provisions for assets acquisition, construction
and replacement/renewal.
(Para 2.6.2)
IR, being a Government commercial undertaking, prepares its balance
sheet and profit and loss accounts. It however did not disclose its
significant accounting policies on revenue recognition, fixed assets,
depreciation, provisioning for liabilities for pension etc.
(Chapter 3)
As per guidelines issued by Ministry of Finance, profit making
commercial enterprises would declare a minimum dividend of 20
per cent either on equity or on post-tax profit whichever was higher.
However, Railtel Corporation of India Limited (RailTel) and Indian
Railways Finance Corporation (IRFC) did not comply with the above
directives. Shortfall in dividend amounted to `167.39 crore.
(Para 4.10)
Report No.34 of 2010-11 (Compliance Audit)
Chapter 1 : Introduction
As a result of Audit observations, Railways have recovered an
amount of `62.67 crore and agreed to recover `16.76 crore during
2009-10. Besides, Railway Board had taken remedial action by
way of revision of tariffs and issue of instructions to Zonal Railways.
(Paras 1.8 & 1.9)
Chapter 2 Traffic Commercial and Operations
Container operations in IR
The study of container operations in IR revealed that the haulage
rates fixed and recovered by IR were less than the base class
rates which are provided only to essential commodities of mass
consumption. This had resulted in recurring losses.
(Para 2.1.8.1)
Allowing container operators and CONCOR to lift bulk commodities
(predominantly carried by IR) and recovering haulage rates instead of
IR Tariff Rates resulted in loss of `65.33 crore as well as diversion of IR
borne regular traffic. (Paras 2.1.8.2 & 2.1.8.3)
While two 20 feet containers are loaded on a flat/wagon, only one 40
feet container is loaded on the same wagon and the weight load in
40 feet container is also double that of 20 feet. However IR reduced
the haulage charges for 40 feet containers to 1.8 times that of 20 feet
containers. IR had thus suffered a loss of `63.07 crore.
(Para 2.1.8.5)
Deficiencies such as incorrect fixation of haulage charges, inconsistency
in issuing orders, non-weighment of container trains and inadequacy
in leasing/licensing of railway land to container operators were also
noticed. (Paras 2.1.8.6 to 2.1.8.13)
Tatkal and Advance Reservation System
Study on Tatkal and Advance Reservation System in IR revealed
that genuine users, for which the scheme was intended, were not able
to access the facility with ease as it was susceptible to manipulation.
There were irregularities such as booking of tickets beyond business
hours and booking of all Tatkal quota tickets within a few minutes of
the opening of reservation. (Para 2.2.4.1)
The system was susceptible to abuse by unscrupulous booking clerks,
RTSAs and touts. The general and application controls in the PRS
system as well as in the internet booking relating to Tatkal/Advance
bookings were inadequate leaving scope for manual intervention in
the system. (Paras 2.2.4.2 to 2.2.4.6)
Other Findings
Injudicious decision of the Railway for withdrawal of Rationalization
order without considering the operational constraints of moving traffic
via shorter route resulted in loss of freight to the extent of `81.35
crore. (Para 2.3)
Inordinate delay in establishing operational feasibility for leasing
of Parcel Cargo trains and finalization of tenders coupled with
injudicious fixation of higher reserve price not only deprived the
Railway of additional revenue of `57.64 crore but also resulted in
non-implementation of a new scheme introduced to attract new
customers. (Para 2.4)
Chapter 3: Engineering (Open Line and Construction)
Construction of New Lines on socio-economic
considerations.
A study of 50 new line projects sanctioned more than 10 years ago
on socio-economic consideration revealed that all of them were still
incomplete with `8,549 crore being incurred with no certainty of their
objectives being realized. These also included five projects sanctioned
more than twenty years ago. The balance funds required for completion
would be of the order of `16,800 crore. (Para 3.1.4)
There was a delay of two to fifteen years in preparation of detailed
estimate and commencement of work. In 36 projects, no target dates
for completion were fixed and in 34 projects, land acquisition process
was incomplete even after lapse of more than ten years. This had
adverse impact on other construction activities.
(Paras 3.1.4.1 to 3.1.4.3)
Keeping in view the scarcity of funds and the need for providing
connectivity of backward, underdeveloped and remote areas, PAC had
observed that IR should distinctly enunciate the core objectives of the
projects, frame project schedules and determine the completion dates.
They had also stressed upon the Railways to review each project and
decide on their continuance or shelving.
Audit observed that though five projects had been sanctioned more
than 10 years ago and no work commenced, Railways had made no
attempt to shelve these projects. Moreover, there were another four
projects where the physical progress was less than ten per cent and
languishing for a period of 14 to 22 years, and no attempt was made
to review these projects for shelving. (Para 3.1.4.4)
Target dates for completion of 34 projects had not been fixed
so far and where target dates were fixed, the projects were still
incomplete. (Para 3.1.5.1)
Allotment of funds to projects was not done judiciously. Audit observed
that despite funds remaining unutilized in the previous years, the funds
were continued to be made available to projects where no work had
been undertaken. (Para 3.1.5.2)
Though Railways had completed Amravati-Chandurbazar (44 kms)
section of Amravati-Narkher new line at a cost of `123.07 crore in
February 2006 and Hasan Shraavanabegola (41.7 kms) section of
Hasan-Bangalore new line in January 2006 at a cost of `140 crore, no
train services had been commenced to utilize the investment.
(Para 3.1.6.4)
Other Findings
Fraudulent claims of a firm under Price Variation Clause amounting to
`30.54 crore (three times more than the original value of the contract)
were irregularly paid till August 2008 in a span of more than 8 years.
(Last payment made 19 years after the completion of supply). Audit
investigation revealed breach of established internal controls at various
levels that facilitated and sustained the fraudulent transactions.
(Para 3.2)
Railways failure to enter into project specific agreement with CIDCO
not only resulted in blockage of funds of `56.92 crore due to stoppage of
Belapur-Seawood Uran Double Line Project but also non-achievement
of the main objective of providing rail connectivity to public.
(Para 3.3)
Commencement of a bridge work (for replacing existing Yamuna
Bridge) passing through a portion of historical Salimgarh Fort without
obtaining required permission and land from Archaeological Survey
of India resulted in stoppage of work and unproductive expenditure
(`33.92 crore) since March 2007 besides retention of outlived bridge.
(Para 3.4)
Chapter 4: Mechanical Zonal Headquarters/Workshops/
Production Units
Failure of the Railway Administration to carry out the maintenance
schedules of diesel locomotives within the prescribed time led to excess
detention and consequential loss of earning capacity to the tune of
`92.89 crore. (Para 4.1)
Non stocking of critical spares resulted in derating/detention of
locomotives causing under utilization of loco capacity and consequential
loss of `85.81 crore. (Para 4.2)
Detention of WDG-4 locomotives in the shed exclusively for want of
wheel discs for replacement resulted in loss of locomotive earnings to
the extent of `20.47 crore. (Para 4.3)
Failure of the Railway Administration to levy empty haulage as well as
stabling charges on tank wagons received for periodical overhauling
without degassing besides non-recovery of `0.81 crore resulted in loss
of earning potential of `18.71 crore on account of avoidable detention
of 49,791 days. (Para 4.4)
Chapter 7: Review of Public Sector Units of IR.
RVNL was established as a Special Purpose Vehicle with basic objectives
to generate additional resources by leveraging market borrowings and
to quicken the pace for implementation of the projects. Audit observed
that RVNL, even after seven years since its inception, continued to be
largely dependent on the resources of the Railways. The performance
of RVNL on project execution and management was inefficient as they
were plagued by delays and cost overruns. (Para 7.1)
Review of the arrangement of the Railways with RCIL with regard to
transfer of assets and payments regarding revenue sharing and recovery
of Railway dues revealed inadequate internal controls within the
Railways in respect of transactions with RCIL. The Railways were totally
dependent on RCIL records in respect of all arrangements entered into
and payments made were accepted without verifying the accuracy of
Railway dues. There was lack of coordination between Railway Board
and Zonal Railways in implementation of policy guidelines.
(Para 7.2)
Performance Audit on Security Management in IR (Report
No.14 of 2011-12)
The number of accidents on IR attributed to sabotage increased from
six in 2005-06 to fourteen in 2009-10. A couple of major incidents of
sabotage like the derailment of Jnaneswari Express in 2010 highlighted
the problems of Railway security. The most important aspect of any
security strategy is to ensure the safety and security of its passengers.
The performance audit on the subject assessed the security system of
IR which inter-alia covered the following:-
Role of security agencies and inter-agency co-ordination.
Protection of passengers and their belongings including strategy to
control crimes at stations and in running trains.
Safety of Railway property viz tracks, bridges as well as other fixed
structures.
Preparedness of IR to handle the enhanced threat environment.
Major Audit Findings are indicated below:-
Considerable overlap of functions exists between the RPF and the
Government Railway Police. Despite directions from the Ministry of
Home Affairs and the Railway Board, co-ordination between the RPF
and the State Government is not effective leading to large gaps in the
security system of the Railways. The earlier Audit Report (Report No.
9 of 2000) emphasized that the system for coordination between RPF
and GRP exists on paper and the co-ordination between the RPF and
the state governments has been weak. In this report also Audit observed
continued lack of coordination between the GRP and RPF especially
escorting of trains leading to duplicity of manpower deployed.
Despite being aware of the heightened threat perception, IR has
not been able to implement several measures recommended by the
High Level Committee for providing security to railway passengers at
stations as well as in trains. Effort has not been made to control access
to railway stations and to decongest even sensitive high risk stations.
Further, installation of electronic surveillance system has been slow
and not up to international standards.
As a follow up to the recommendation of the Committee, the Railway
Board decided in July 2008 to implement an Integrated Security System
(ISS) to ensure security at railway stations. The ISS consists of broad
areas like Camera surveillance system (CCTVs) on platforms, Access
Control solutions for filtering out bonafide passengers, personal and
baggage screening system. Implementation of the Integrated Security
System (ISS) was slow. ISS was not implemented in any station till
March 2011.
Escorting the trains was left to the local Railway Administration and the
same was based on manpower availability, threat perception of area
and importance of the train.
Crime rate has more than doubled in the last five years. The reporting
of crime committed on trains is a serious problem. In many instances
FIR forms were not available with the coach attendants.
The track patrolling was being carried out sporadically on the basis
of threat perception and availability of manpower. Further, Rail Roko
agitations have resulted in large scale disruption to rail traffic as well as
damage to Railway property. Audit also observed that armed guards
were not posted at the GMs offices as well as workshops and station
yards checked by Audit.
The Railways and the State Governments appear to be very slow in
filling up the existing vacancies (7,174 and 6,335 in RPF and GRP
respectively as on 31.3.2010) or redeploying man power for meeting
the challenge of increased threat. Railways are reluctant to outsource
security even in non core areas to private agencies.
A surprise check carried out at one high risk station in each zone on
one day in collaboration with officers of RPF revealed the lack of
seriousness in the approach of the IR towards security of its passengers.
No attempt has been made by them to control access to even high
risk stations which is the first step towards ensuring security. The
surveillance equipment installed is either faulty or incorrectly placed
resulting in gaps in the system.
