You’re referring to the Model SOP (Schedule of Powers) 2018, which remains the benchmark for delegation of administrative and financial authority across Indian Railways—including Zonal Railways, Production Units, and Depot operations.
What Is the Model SOP?
- Issued initially on October 26, 2025, and subsequently revised in 2025 to incorporate updates, best practices, and wider delegations of power
- The document’s main purpose is to standardize decision-making authority (e.g., approving tenders, granting waivers, compensation claims, refunds) across various hierarchical levels: Zonal Heads, DRMs, CHODs, PHODs, and field officers
Recent Updates (As of 2025)
- New delegation under Works Matters: Powers granted to EnHM officers for procurement of seedlings and saplings—effective from January 2, 2025
- Ongoing evolution: While no full reissue of Model SOP is dated “2025”, Indian Railways continues to issue Corrigendum Slips—updates to SOP clauses, such as simplified GeM procurement norms (e.g., Corrigendum Slip No. 10, 2025) and clarifications in tender criteria
