TTE cannot check ticket after 10 pm
During your journey, the Travel Ticket Examiner (TTE) comes to collect the ticket from you. Many times he wakes up late in the night and asks you to show the ticket or ID. But, let us tell you, even TTE cannot disturb you after 10 pm. TTE is required to verify the tickets only between 6 am to 10 pm. No passenger can be disturbed after sleeping at night. This guideline is from the Railway Board.
The rule will not apply to those traveling after 10 pm
However, this rule of the Railway Board will not apply to passengers traveling after 10 pm. That is, if you are sitting in the train after 10 pm, then TTE can check your ticket and ID.
Can sleep on middle berth only after 10 o’clock
The times of the passenger sleeping on the middle berth open it as soon as the train starts. This causes a lot of trouble to the passenger with the lower berth. But according to the rules of the railways, a passenger with a middle berth can sleep in his berth only from 10 pm to 6 am. That is, before 10 nights, if a passenger wants to stop the opening of the middle berth, then you can stop him. At the same time, after 6 am, the berth will have to be lowered so that other passengers can sit on the lower berth. Many times the lower berth people stay awake till late night and the middle berth people have problem, so you can pick up your seat at 10 o’clock under the rule.
Two stop rule
If you miss your train, TTE cannot allot your seat to any other passenger for the next two stops or for the next one hour (whichever is earlier). This means that you can catch the train from any of the next two stops. After passing three stops, the TTE reserves the right to allot the seat to the next person in the RAC list.
