Whether you travel in an aeroplane or a big car, nothing can take the place of the train. Passengers enjoy a different experience when they travel by Indian Railways. If we talk about the ticket of Indian Railways, then it is also very less. However, despite this, many people are seen travelling in trains without tickets.
Recently, finance influencer Bhanu Pathak shared a reel and told what happens if the passengers do not have tickets on the train. Let's know about this.
What is the rule on not buying a train ticket?
- Under Section 138 of the Railway Act, if you do not have a train ticket and the checker comes to know, then he cannot ask you for the price of his choice. Yes, many times thousands of rupees are demanded from passengers for not taking tickets. However, in reality, the TT can only charge you for your journey and ask for a fine of Rs 250.
For example, suppose you are going from New Delhi to Varanasi without a ticket. In such a situation, TT can charge you the ticket amount from New Delhi to Varanasi and a fine of Rs 250.
What to do if you don't have a train ticket?
You must have often heard people saying that platform tickets must be bought. Actually in case of an emergency when we do not have a ticket, then we can show the platform ticket to TT. Many times it becomes difficult for the passenger to prove to the TT from where he boarded. In such a situation, having a platform ticket saves you from difficulties.
