Subject: Closure of IPPRS centres with NIL transactions and transactions less than 10 per day

In continuation of this office letter of even number dated 08.08.2025, wherein a list of IPPRS Centres with NIL transactions or with fewer than 10 transactions per day during the period from 01.01.2025 to 30.06.2025 was forwarded to your office for recommendations regarding their retention or closure based on transaction volume:

2. Based on inputs received from the Circles, the Competent Authority has approved the closure of 165 IPPRS Centres with immediate effect. A Circle-wise list of these centres is enclosed as Annexure I.

3. Circles are requested to coordinate with the respective local railway authorities to hand over all equipment and assets pertaining to the IPPRS Centres to the Railways, after preparing a proper inventory. The closure formalities are to be completed positively by 31.08.2025.

4. It has been observed that some Circles have recommended the retention of IPPRS Centres even where the number of transactions is NIL or fewer than 10 per day. The Competent Authority has directed that all remaining 134 IPPRS Centres (Annexure II), including those recommended for retention, must ensure a minimum of 100 transactions per day to remain financially viable. A review of their performance will be conducted in the first week of November 2025, following which a final decision regarding their retention or closure will be taken. All possible efforts must be made to enhance transaction volume to meet the required threshold.

This issues with the approval of competent authority.
