Section 106(3) Railways Act | Illegal Charges Exempt from Six-Month Notice Requirement; Overcharges Alone Trigger Statutory Notice : GAHC
Gauhati High Court clarifies that Section 106(3) of the Railways Act applies only to overcharges, not illegal charges, exempting the latter from the six-month statutory notice requirement. The ruling entitles Numaligarh Refinery Ltd. to a ₹2.98 crore refund with interest after Railways admitted to duplicate billing in siding and through-distance charges.
