RBE No. 48/2008: Passes – To Contractors Staff
No.E(W)2007 PS5-6/53, dated 27.03.2008
Sub: Issue of Passes to Contractors and the Staff working with the Contractors.
1. In terms of Railway Servants (Pass) Rules, 1986 (Second Edition, 1993) Passes can be issued in favour of non-Railway persons under certain conditions as laid-down in Schedule VII of the Pass Rules. In case Railway has to issue Passes to non-Railway persons for purposes connected with Railway working, such cases are required to be sent to Board for approval.
2. A case has come to the notice of Board in which a provision for issue of 1st class Card Passes & Cheque Passes to Contractors & Staff working with the Contractors has been incorporated in the contract agreement on one of the Railways, which does not have Board’s approval. This has been viewed seriously by Board and it has been decided that facilities of Card Passes & Cheque Passes should not be provided to the Contractors & Staff working with the Contractors with a view to rule out possibility of misuse of such Free Pass facility by non-Railway persons.
3. This issues with the concurrence of the Finance Dte. of the Ministry of Railways.
