If you look, you will find that Indian trains daily drop a large number of passengers from one place to another. Many types of facilities are also available while traveling on the train. Like- catering, AC, comfort seat and toilet arrangement, etc. At the same time, now people mostly book train tickets online, but it cannot be denied that even now many people take tickets from ticket counters. In such a situation, think that if your train ticket gets lost somewhere, then how will you travel? So let's try to know the answer to this question. You can learn about this in the next slides...
You are traveling by train and during this time even if your ticket is lost, you can still travel by train. There is a rule of the railway for this, under which you can do this.
New ticket with a fine
In case of loss of your ticket, you have to take a new ticket and you also have to pay a fine of Rs 50. After this, you can travel. Know here that if you are thinking that you had to take a new ticket and also pay a fine, then understand that if you do not do this, then according to the rules, you have to pay a fine of more than Rs.50, because if If TTE catches you without a ticket, then you come under the category of traveling without ticket in the train.
This is how you can get a new ticket
If you are traveling by train and your ticket gets lost somewhere, then in such a situation the first thing you have to do is meet TTE and tell them the whole thing. After this TTE issues you a new ticket with a fine of Rs.50.
During this time when you are making a new ticket, you can change your destination station if you want. For example, if your earlier ticket was from Delhi to Banaras, now you can get a new ticket made from Delhi to Kanpur or beyond Banaras.
