You can travel by train without ticket: If a person suddenly has to go somewhere, he immediately takes a ticket and leaves. But if there is no immediate option and it is very important to go, can he travel by train without a ticket? In such a situation, if TTE catches him, will he be jailed or will he be allowed to travel? Today we are telling you the rules for traveling by train without ticket.
Let us tell you that if you travel in a train without a ticket, you will neither go to jail nor get any exemption. For this you will have to follow some rules of Railways. However, if you have to travel by train then you must have a valid ticket. According to Railways, traveling by train without a ticket is a legal offence.
You can adopt this method
If you really have to travel for some important work and you do not have a confirmed train ticket, then in such a situation you can travel through platform ticket or general ticket. For this you will have to take a platform ticket and go to meet the TTE in the train. You have to tell TTE where you want to travel. In such a situation, TTE prepares your ticket and then you can travel in the train. You will get the platform ticket from the station itself for just Rs 10.
Will have to pay a fine of Rs 250
Just keep in mind that if you do not have a reservation ticket, you will have to pay a fine of Rs 250 and the fare from where you board the train to the destination. At the same time, if there is a vacant seat in the train, then TTE can also give you a seat and then you can travel comfortably. TTE has a hand held machine, through which he can give ticket to the passenger inside the train itself.
Platform tickets can also be booked online
Let us tell you that after boarding the train without a ticket, you can book the ticket online also. For this, the facility of booking unreserved train tickets online has been made available by Railways on UTS app. Through this, apart from unreserved tickets, you can also book platform tickets.
