1. Earnings are higher over COPPY but lower than the target2. Partly, they are higher over COPPY due to the impact of the fare & freight
revision implemented in June ’14 & April’15.

Financial Impact

Annualized growth (since

Staff Cost 58,333 10% 15.7% 38%
Pension Outgo
33,220 15% 19.6% 56%
-The 7th PC will put stress on revenue generation which has not been encouraging so far. -Traffic Earnings required to grow at 27% to 30% to meet the impact .-Hence ,close monitoring of expenditure along with cost cutting measures and initiatives.
New Initiatives in
Budgeting on IR
-Working towards ‘Nil” excess: 2014-15 fewer zones reported excess under certain grants.
-Constitutional position mandates no spending more than what has been granted under the Appropriation Act. -P.A.C. takes harsh view of the excess especially when Supplementary Grant is obtained
-Remarks of the P.A.C. scathing including fixing of responsibility. : fix responsibility through APAR & refer to DoPT.-Therefore instructions to all zones on control over expenditure within Grants/SL
Point of concern 1: Excess Expenditure
13
Point of Concern 2• Incidences of Items under Objection
increasing• Course correction in 2015-16 i.e: Delegation of
powers for sanctioning the revised cost of work
• Appropriate budgeting• Pink Book now reflects Sanctioned Cost. Rlys
required to revise prior to sending for re-appropriation.
Point of Concern 3: Availing of Supplementary
• SDG taken and amounts not spent
• Out of turn work moved through SDG and not executed immediately or later dropped from Pink Book
• Estimation of Charged Appropriation in correctly estimated leading to insufficient SDG being obtained.
Point of Concern 4: blocking of Capital
• Only around 40% of rail supplies are utilised in track renewals
• Impacts inventory levels and avoidable blocking of funds
• Therefore Rails procured be linked to Track Renewal done in km
Linking Inventory to the Final Head outlays
• Since 2014-15, this has been effected.• Production Units outturn of Rolling Stock &
budget requirements are now inter-related.• ZR’s workshop & fuel budgeting is linked to
their final head outlays (PU 27,34, 35,63, 64,60)
• Entire Rolling Stock Budget is linked now to transfer price & quantity; PU’s to freeze Transfer Price for the entire f.y
Budget VPN• Assists in accurate forecasting: linking of all units to a
central server through VPN courtesy Railtel & their regional Centres.
• Secured through password/permissions granted by Board. Open round-the-clock.
• Inputs solicited post submission of Accounts and various fields frozen: reduces year-end data collection.
• Extensive training & workshops held with all .• RE inputs sought early for distribution by December.• RE Pink Book introduced with work-wise allotments.• Inputs from ZR’s used for framing the estimates at RE
& FM stage
Budget VPN
• Final supplementary obtained from Parliament on these inputs ( when Supplementary can be taken)
• Initially only RE solicited which will form base for BE.
• Pension data to be carefully reviewed & trend analysis done.
• All the cleanliness activities are to be booked under Demand No.8 Sub-head 590, except station sanitation which would continue to be shown under Demand No.9, Sub-head 290.
New Modules on the VPN• Re-appropriation: modified outlays now
immediately visible with correction in the database
• ALL reappropriations to be effected only through this module.
• Exchequer : Receipt of request & dispatch of orders speedened.
Facilitating processes• Reappropriation orders clubbed and powers delegated to
Rs. 2.5 crore; full powers for LAW Book items ; ZR’s powers upto Rs.2.5 crore for Reappropriation between itemized Pink Book items & Lumpsum provisions;
• Request that the proforma appended to Board’s letter number 2011-B-174 dated 3.7.2015 be strictly adhered to.
• Reverse Reappropriation
• Post-facto approval sought for higher expenditure already incurred through Reappropriations
Facilitating processes• Re-vamping of Budget Call letter
• Shared Budget folder for dissemination of issues, policy, instructions etc.
• Comprehensive Economy Instructions
Recurring savings of paper• Previously, Pink Book was one consolidated
document for all zones. • Consumed more than 12 lakh sheets of paper
approximately• In Budget 2015-16, Zone-wise Pink Book
introduced.• Recurring savings of more than 1.4 million
pages
Redefining relationship with MoF • Intention to redefine methodology of dividend computation and bring in
more reliefsCURRENT LIABILITIES ABOSRBED BY IR AND LIKELY CONCERNS • Konkan Rail Corporation Ltd• KMRCL• IRFC debt; incremental debt on account of augmented borrowing in the
fututre• Impact of 7th Pay Commission• Requirement for DRF, DF; Operating Losses on Uneconomic Branch Lines.ISSUES• Ring Fencing of GBS by MoF• Higher GBS translates into higher Dividend, paid in perpetuity• Debt Servicing of EBR(IF)• No scope of squeezing costs; subsidies a living reality
Contd…• Rate of dividend for 2014-15 and 2015-16 • All National Projects and Projects of National
Importance including identified strategic and border area projects be declared dividend free or eligible for subsidy relief on dividend liability and further that Dedicated Freight Corridors to be considered at par with new lines for relief in dividend payment.
