Platform Ticket Price and Validity

Indian Railways has set the price of a platform ticket at just Rs 10, which allows access to the platform for a duration of 2 hours. The primary purpose of this ticket is to permit individuals to enter the platform area, and it is not intended for travel on the train itself. If a passenger is found on the train without a valid ticket, strict action can be taken, including fines.

What to Do If You Board the Train by Mistake?

In the event that a passenger accidentally boards a train while holding a platform ticket, there is no need to panic. According to Indian Railways regulations, the passenger should immediately approach the Travelling Ticket Examiner (TTE) on the train. The TTE can issue a valid ticket for travel to the next station, but the passenger must also pay a fine of Rs 250 for traveling without a proper ticket.

Waiting Ticket Rule

Passengers holding a waiting ticket booked online must be aware that it is not valid for travel until it is confirmed. As per Indian Railways rules, traveling with a waiting ticket that has not been confirmed is prohibited, and those caught doing so may face legal repercussions. It is essential to adhere to the rules regarding ticketing to avoid any issues during travel.
