No.E(W)99 PS5-1/52, dated 16.06.2000

Sub: Grant of Special (Complimentary) Passes to non-railwaymen – Powers of General Managers.

1.     It has been brought to the notice of the Board that in the absence of any provision in the Pass Rules regarding General Manager’s power to issue Special Pass to non-Railwaymen in connection with train working like trial runs etc., all such cases have to be referred to the Railway Board for sanction which sometimes result in avoidable delays. Earlier, Para 1515 of IREM (1968 Edition) had authorised General Managers to issue passes to non-Railwaymen in connection with train working.

2.     The matter has been considered by the Board and it has been decided to empower General Managers to issue passes of appropriate class to non-railwaymen in connection with train working like trial runs etc.

3.     In view of the above, Schedule VII of the Railway Servants (Pass) Rules, 1986 be amended as per the Advance Correction Slip No.25 (enclosed).

4.     This issues with the concurrence of the Finance Directorate of the Ministry of Railways.
