Indian Railways: Indian Railways provides many facilities to its passengers. We should know about these rules. So that no railway employee can disturb you at the station or in the train. Knowing the rules, you can avoid paying extra money to TTE.
How to get money back after missing the train?
If you have missed your train, by returning it to the ticket window within the journey time, you can also get a refund of part of the ticket value as per Indian Railways Refund Rules.
Less chances of getting lost in the digital age
During the journey in the train, most of the passengers do not keep their ticket in their pocket but in their mobile. Still, a large number of people travel by booking or buying tickets from the ticket window.
There is always a fear of losing the ticket
During the journey in the train, if the ticket kept in the pocket is lost somewhere, then the fun of the whole journey is ruined. After spending the money, attention is kept on the gate itself whether the TT is coming or not.
Fines have to be paid if caught while traveling
If TT catches you, fine will be imposed, you will have to face embarrassment in front of all the people, and don’t know what thoughts keep coming.
Don’t panic while traveling
There is absolutely no need to panic during the journey if the ticket is lost. If your ticket is lost, the ticket checker cannot give you entry without a ticket, nor can he charge a heavy fine.
There are different rules for losing tickets
Railways have separate rules for losing tickets. But, if the rules are not known, the person checking the ticket takes advantage and can recover the fine.
New ticket may be issued
If your ticket is lost and you do not have a ticket in your mobile, then you can get a new ticket by paying a fine of Rs 50. In case of lost ticket contact TTE immediately and tell him the full story and ask to issue a new ticket. On this, TTE can issue a new ticket by taking some additional charge.
Extend ticket for onward journey
If for any reason you have to continue the journey beyond the designated station, then your ticket can be extended to the next station. A separate fee will have to be paid for this.
Platform ticket also comes in handy
If you have a platform ticket and for some reason you have to travel by train, then this ticket will prove to be very useful for you. In such a situation, you can contact the TTE running in the train and get the ticket issued for the distance you have to travel.
Ticket issued with fine
In such a situation, TTE can issue a ticket to you by charging a certain fine along with the ticket fare. Based on the platform ticket, TTE will generate the ticket from the same station from where you have taken the platform ticket.
