Sub: Issue of Special Passes to artists invited by Women’s Welfare Organisation in relaxation of item (24) (iii) of Schedule-VII (Special Passes) of Railway Servants Pass Rules, 1986.
1. As per item (24) (iii) column (3) of Schedule-VII (Special Passes) of Railway Servants Pass Rules, 1986, (1993-Edition) not more than 4 first class and 10 second class single journey passes in a calendar year may be issued in favour of artists who are invited by the authorised organisations e.g. Railway Women’s Organisations etc. to give performance for charitable purposes, the net proceeds of which are credited to their funds and utilised for Railwaymen’s welfare and/or contributed to the Railway Minister’s Welfare and Relief Fund.
2. Of late, requests for issue of Complimentary Passes to artists invited by the Women’s Welfare Organisation far exceeding the number laid down as per item (24) (ii), Column (3) of Schedule-VII (Special Passes) of Railway Servants Pass Rules, 1986 are being received from Zonal Railways. It has now been decided by Board that keeping in view the purpose for which these artists are being arranged on the one hand and at the same time to keep a check on the number of Complimentary Passes to be issued, not more than 5 first Class and 15 second class passes in a calendar year for a Zonal Railway/ Production Unit may be issued in favour of artists instead of 4 first class and 10 second class passes. Accordingly item (24) (ii) of Schedule-VII (Special Passes) should be amended as in the Advanced Correction Slip No.26 enclosed. Any requirement of Special Passes in excess of the revised limit will have to be met by the concerned organisation and no requests for relaxation of the limit will be entertained by Board.
3. In all other respects, the provision of Railway Servants (Pass) Rules, 1986 shall apply.
4. This has the concurrence of Finance Directorate of the Ministry of Railways.
