How are railway journeys for Members of Parliament settled?

Modified on Mon, 28 Apr at 6:12 AM

 Members can travel in any class and any number of times by railway. They are not involved in the billing process. Instead:

  • Indian Railways sends a bill directly to RSS (Rajya Sabha Secretariat).

  • RSS officials verify the journey details based on the PNR provided.

  • After verification and a funds availability check, a file is created and submitted to the Controlling Officer for sanction and pay order signature.

  • The file is then forwarded to P&AO for payment settlement.
