Indian Railways These documents are also necessary along with confirmed ticket News In Hindi: Every day lakhs of people travel by train in India and Indian Railways runs thousands of trains every day. When people want to travel long distances, train is a convenient option as it offers many facilities and the tickets are also cheaper than flights.
Most of the people travel by making reservation in train and book the ticket online through e-ticket, taking a printout of which they travel. However, many times people forget to carry e-ticket and ID card with them. In such a situation, the question arises whether TTE can deboard the passenger from the train if he does not have ticket and ID?
According to railway rules, if a passenger does not have an e-ticket and valid identity card, he will not be allowed to travel and the TTE can remove him from the train.
ID is also necessary along with e-ticket
Nowadays most people book tickets online. Along with the e-ticket, you will also have to keep your ID proof. If you do not have the original ID, TTE can fine you and even throw you out of the train. Therefore, it is important to know that without ID proof the e-ticket is not recognized.
Without ID you will be considered without ticket
As per Indian Railways rules, if you have booked a ticket online and you have not carried your original ID proof with you, you will be considered as a ticketless passenger. In such a situation, Railways can not only impose fine but can also reserve the right to deboard you from the train. Even if you have a confirmed ticket, that ticket will be of no use without ID proof.
How much will be the fine?
If you do not have ID proof, TT will treat you as a ticketless passenger and charge you a fine. This fine will depend on your class of travel. Firstly, TT will charge you the price of your ticket, which will be as per the route of your ticket. Apart from this, if you are traveling in AC bogie then you will have to pay a fine of Rs 440 and if you are traveling in sleeper class then you will have to pay a fine of Rs 220. Even after paying the fine you will not get a seat.
If you think that after paying the fine you will travel comfortably then it is wrong. When TT cancels your e-ticket your seat also gets cancelled. Now even after paying the fine and ticket money again, you will not get the seat again. If TT does not agree with you then he can even remove you from the train.
It is also important for senior citizens to have ID proof proving their age. If they do not have the original ID, their e-ticket will also be considered invalid. Therefore, while traveling by train, carry your ID proof along with the e-ticket, so that you do not face any problem during the journey.
