This is a compilation of Railway Board’s circulars and instructions on the various aspects of Works Finance covering Surveys, Preparation of Estimates, Tenders, Contracts and Arbitration. The instructions have been arranged based on the subject and hence will not be in strict chronological order. This is basically an updation of a similar Compendium prepared bythe office of FA&CAO/CN: Bangalore in 1996. We hope that this Compendium will serve as an useful ready reckoner especially to Construction Officers.

This exhaustive compilation, consisting of around 500 circulars, was possible with the dedicated efforts taken by Shri M.S. Chandrasekaran, Sr. AFA/CN and his team consisting of Shri D. Bhaskar, Sr. SO(A) and Shri R. Murali, Sr. ISA.
