What do the railway rules say?
If your question is, “Can you take a bottle of alcohol on the train?”, the simple answer is no. If you do so, you may be prosecuted.. According to the Indian Railways Act 1989, no passenger shall carry or consume any substance which may cause inconvenience to others. But when it comes to liquor, officials make it clear that there is no restriction on carrying liquor in sealed bottles. But some precautions must be taken. For example, check to see if alcohol is banned in the state you're traveling to. This means that not only the railway rules, but also the excise rules of the respective state are applicable if liquor is carried in the train. So it is very important to know about them.
Let's understand in detail with an example
Suppose Mohan Manohar is traveling from New Delhi to Varanasi by train. He is carrying liquor in a sealed bottle for personal use. Excise rules of Uttar Pradesh allow this. But if the same person is traveling to Bihar, he cannot carry a bottle of liquor. Similarly, he cannot carry a bottle of liquor in Gujarat either, as liquor is banned in these states.
How many bottles of liquor are allowed in the train?
As per railway rules, there is no specific limit on the number of liquor bottles in a train. But excise rules of many states specify a specific number. Some states limit this number to two. Even in Delhi Metro, only two bottles of liquor are allowed. This means, you can easily carry two bottles of liquor in a sealed bottle. If you carry more bottles than this, check the excise rules of the state you are traveling to, otherwise you may run into trouble.
Can I drink alcohol on the train?
Alcohol consumption is prohibited in Indian Railways trains, as intoxicated passengers may misbehave with other passengers. Therefore, such passengers are dealt with as per Railway Rules. Under Section 145 of the Railways Act, 1989, those found guilty of doing so are liable to a fine of Rs 500, imprisonment for six months or both.
