Appointing Station Ticket Booking Sewaks (STBS) at 207 identified railway stations for enable functioning of ticketing counters smoothly without any break

This initiative is a concrete step to enable functioning of ticketing counters smoothly without any break at small stations by deploying manpower for issuing tickets o­n outsourcing basis. It also helps in reducing the work-load o­n Station Masters (SMs) who presently issue the tickets from the station booking counters in addition to their train running duties.  

This new scheme of appointment of STBS for issuing tickets from the present railway counter o­n commission basis is based o­n the following parameters:

·STBS are proposed at the stations where SMs are handling the movement of at least 5 trains in a shift.

·STBS need not have to invest huge amount for procuring equipments.

·STBS have to pay Rs. 2000/- as Earnest Money Deposit at the time of application which is refundable.

Selected STBS should pay Rs. 20,000/- as Bank guarantee and Rs. 5,000/- as DD towards security deposit which is refundable.

Persons applying for STBS should have the following mandatory qualification:

ØShould be in age group of 18 to 35 years.

ØShould have minimum education of 10^th Class.

ØShould be local resident of mandal/block where station falls. A certificate issued from Tahasildar should be produced.

ØShould submit character certificate issued by Tahasildar.

ØShould submit a declaration that he/she is not appointed as STBS at any other station.

This scheme provides an opportunity for the local unemployed youth to work near their place of              nativity.

   Applications have already been invited from eligible persons for appointing STBS at 207 stations - 58 stations in Secunderabad Division; 27 stations o­n Hyderabad division; 58 stations o­n Vijayawada division; 13 stations o­n Guntur division; 37 stations o­n Guntakal division and 14 stations o­n Nanded division.
