Q.2.- ( a ) What are On Account Bill and Final Bill of works and what documents and certificates
are to be attached with each?
( b ) Describe the Material at site account.
Ans.- ( a ) On account Bill & Final Bill :-
On account Bill :- On account Bill or running bill prepared on Form No. E 1337 is indicated for
use in contract works only and not supplies . On account payments before the completion of a
work should be made through this form.
Final Bill :- The final bill prepared on form No. E 1338 should be used for making final payments
. i.e. On closing running accounts for works . Normally only one final bill should be prepared
against an agreement or work order . But in cases where groups of annual repair works are
included in one agreement or work order there is no objection to more than one final bill being
prepared on the completion of each group or certain groups.
( b ) M.A.S. Accounts –
This stands for material at site account. This is a suspense head of account that is maintained
to watch actual consumption of materials obtained for specific work such materials stores are
requisitioned separately by the executive officer and consigned to the site of work. The monitory
value of materials consumed is debited to the work concerned through works Register. The
balance under this suspense represents materials on hand yet to be consumed.
Q.4.- ( a ) What steps are being taken for Man Power planning on Indian Railway?
( b ) What are the classification of staff under HOER? Give one example for each.
Ans.- ( a ) The cost of staff on railway amounts to approximately 605 of the total working
expenses there fore it would be necessary to plan its manpower in such a way that adequate
staff are made available for the new assets without incurring additional expenditure. This is
being achieved by locating the excess manpower in the existing system and making available
for additional assets after giving necessary training where ever necessary.
In order to achieve these objectives to arrest the bottlenecks and to ensure smooth working of
railways the Ministry of railways have planned its manpower suitably as under -
1. Recruitment of staff with proper and suitable educational and technical qualifications by
upgrading the limit of educational and technical qualifications for most of the categories.

away from the station there is a possibility of vehicles standing in the yard entering or escaping
into the block section and cause accidents to prevent such escaping of vehicles into the block
section slip siding are provided.
At a station where there is a gradient 1 in 100 falling away from the station within 45 meters
beyond the outer most points at either end a slip siding should be provided.
As per the schedule of dimensions no station yard should be constructed nor should any siding
join a passenger line on a steeper grade than 1 in 260 except where it is unavoidable and then
only with the previous sanction of the railway board obtained through the commissioner of
Railway safety when a slip siding is made sufficient prevent accident.
