Train Ticket Rules: To travel from one place to another, passengers first look at their convenience, they first choose what comfort they will get during the journey. In such a situation, train is often made the first option, because this is the only means of transport through which you can reach your destination cheaply and comfortably. But here the elders know that they have to pay the ticket for the journey, but they do not know about the tickets for children.
If you also fall in this category and do not know whether fare is charged on children's tickets or not, then let us tell you what the railway rules say on this. Maybe next time you do not buy tickets for children.
Tickets for children from four years old
Just as the Indian Railways has made rules for everything, it has also made strict rules for children. According to the rule, children between the ages of one and four years are not required to travel on train tickets. Even any kind of reservation is not required for such children.
Half ticket rule
According to the rules of the railways, if the age of a child is between 5 years to 12 years and these children have to travel in the train, then it is very important to buy tickets for children of this age. However, if you do not want a seat for the child, then you can take a half ticket for him. Here you should know that children have to sit with their parents or an elder during the journey. In case of taking a half ticket, children are not given a separate seat.
You must buy a ticket for a child of this age
If the child's age is between 5-12 years and you want to book a berth for him, then you will have to buy a full ticket for your child and pay the full fare. If the details of the name of a child up to 4 years are filled while making the reservation, then the full fare is charged. If the details are not filled, then children between 1 to 4 years can travel for free.
