Indian Railways News: By the way, now is the digital age. Most of the passengers carry their ticket in mobile not in pocket while traveling by train. Nevertheless, a large number of people travel by booking or buying tickets from the ticket window.
While traveling by train, if the ticket kept in your pocket gets lost somewhere, then the fun of the whole journey gets ruined. After spending the money, the attention remains on the gate whether TT is coming.
If the TT catches you, a fine will be imposed, you will have to face embarrassment in front of all the people, and don’t know what thoughts keep coming.
But there is no need to panic at all. If your ticket is lost, the ticket checker cannot admit you without ticket, nor can he charge a hefty fine.
Actually, Indian Railways gives many types of facilities to its passengers. We should be aware of these rules. So that no railway staff can harass you at the station or in the train. Knowing the rules, you can avoid paying extra money to TTE.
Similarly, there are separate rules in the Railways for losing tickets. But, if the rules are not known, the ticket checking person 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 loss of ticket, immediately contact TTE and tell him the whole story and ask to issue a new ticket. On this TTE can issue a new ticket by taking some extra charge.
If you report the loss of your ticket before the preparation of the reservation chart, you will be issued a new ticket with 50% charge.
For onward journey
If for any reason you have to continue the journey beyond the fixed station, then your ticket can be extended to the next station. A separate fee has to be paid for this.
Platform Ticket
If you have a platform ticket and due to some reason you have to travel in the 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 far you have to travel. In such a situation, TTE can issue a ticket to you by charging a certain penalty 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.
If you have missed your train, then by returning it to the ticket window within the travel time, you can also get a refund of some part of the value of the ticket (Indian Railways refund rules).
