I couldn’t locate a publicly available, specific figure detailing the quantum of debits raised for missing PRS ticket rolls from official Railway Board or Accounts directives. However, here’s what’s known:


What’s Established

  • Railway Accounts Code permits raising debits against a station for missing PRS/UTS tickets or rolls, as per existing Board guidelines.
  • Deliberate guidance on the quantum (exact amount) appears to be embedded in internal instruction or circulars (e.g., RBA numbered orders such as RBA 42/08 and RBA 21/10 mention the subject).

What the References Suggest

  • Accounts Code II manuals and Compendium-2008 list directives about missing PRS tickets and rolls, but they do not disclose a fixed amount or formula
  • The phrase used is that “necessary debits shall be raised… as per the rule in force.” This implies that the specifics may vary or be covered in confidential or non-public documents.

Summary Table

Aspect Status
Rules exist for raising debits Yes
Exact quantum publicly documented Not found
References to detailed internal orders Yes (e.g., RBA references)

What You Can Do Next

  • Access RBA Circulars: Reach out to your Accounts or Commercial department to get RBA docs (e.g., RBA 42/08, 21/10) that should specify the exact debit structure.
  • Request Official Clarification: Your Divisional Accounts Office or the FA&CAO branch might have internal instructions or a clarifying note on quantum of debit.
  • Review Manuals: Look through internal versions of Accounts Code II or the updated Compendium where the exact quantum may be specified.

Let me know if you’d like help drafting an internal query or locating relevant sections within your zone-specific accounts documentation!
