The Danapur Division of East Central Railway has upgraded its system to stop people from travelling without tickets. The railway administration has made the Excess Fare Ticket (EFT) system high-tech to increase digital monitoring and strictness. This new update was announced on May 16, 2026, to make the fine collection process more transparent.
How will the new EFT system work for passengers?
TTEs will now use handheld machines or mobile applications to issue digital EFT tickets. Passengers caught without a ticket will have to pay the fine online instead of using cash. This change is aimed at reducing cash transactions and making the whole process digital.
What are the new rules for repeat offenders?
The railway has now made it mandatory to collect the mobile number of the passenger while issuing an EFT fine ticket. A digital record of these numbers will be maintained to identify people who repeatedly break the rules. Railway officials believe this will discourage ticketless travel and increase revenue.
