All concerned may be advised that at the time of preparing Forwarding Note in TMS application, the Rate Type column shall be chosen as F-FREE TRAFFIC with a remark in as relief material for Karnataka, Kerala and Maharashtra States. All such movement must be done with DRM’s approval. In addition, all Zonal Railways must ensure detailed account of movement of relief material, along with manually calculated freight charges for future use, if any.
Since the transportation of relief material shall be undertaken free of charge, therefore, no ancillary charges like demurrage/wharfage or others charges are to be levied on the same.
Notwithstanding anything above, Central Government/ Indian Railways shall reserve the right to take appropriate decisions as per extant policy on the subject of transportation of relief material.
These guidelines shall remain effective till 31.08.2019 or till further orders, whichever is earlier.
