14. Expenditure control Measures

Converting Expenditure into earnings:

Earlier the abandoned quarters used to be dismantled by Railways by spending the
dismantling cost and taking the released scrap materials into Railway Account. It is very
difficult for disposal of scrap materials and it used to take more time. Also, the revenue
generated by auctioning of released materials is very meagre as they used to get
deteriorated during the course of time. Now auctioning is being carried out for the past 05
years on „As is where is basis‟. During this financial year 2020-21, Hyderabad Division has
generated Rs. 108.65 Lakhs as revenue by auctioning of above old abandoned structures.
The dismantling cost of the above structures is Rs.145.78 Lakhs. Considering the saving in
dismantling cost, effectively Hyderabad Division has generated a revenue of Rs.254.43
lakhs in this FY 2020-21. This is the highest amount generated through auctioning of
Abandoned Quarters in SC Railway and probably highest in Indian Railways.
