[Resolved]  Indian Railway Police — Reg : platform ticket fine

Address:Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu

Ir,
I am a software professional workin in a reputed company.. Me and my girl friend were waitin for the mangalore train in the night.. Actually we came from ooty and waited for 3 o clock train.. And we came to podanur station at 9 pm because we dont have bus from gandhipuram and we waited there untill 3am.. And even though my wife had a reservation and i had a plat form ticket and i haven noticed that the plat form ticket is expired.. Thats my fault.. I apologised for that and paid the penalty of 290 rs in cash immediately.. But before that the rpf in station an old head constable verified and caught me.. I appreciate that that for his alertness.. But that fellow started abusing me in all the bad words in tamil.. And being a malyali he hates tamilians and started abusing me wit words like.. N hole.. But the actual hole is him.. Behaved lik a silly local jack .. Being a police man dont know how to behave.. And abused me even after paying the penalty.. And the podanur railway station is being ruled by the mallu.. And please take necessary action towards that old head constable.. And the clerical staff or the announcer in the clock room didnt gave me `the proper information about the train.. And was sllepin in his duty hours.. And blabbering some thing in instead of the train announcement.. Bull and from that iam not using indian railways.. And ill tell all my friends and relatives too to not use it.. Southern railway and the railway police... And most of the senior police men in the podanur railway station were drunk during their duty hours in the night.. Pls take an action regarding this...

Thanking you,

Indian Railways — technical faults

date 3.11.09 train no. 2402 magadh express. new delhi started announcing that the train has technical faults and would be late by 20 minutes. train started moore than one hour late. if train had faults some other train could be arranged. well from gaziabad it started at 22:40 i.e. more than 2 hours late. it was again and again getting stopped but nobody was taking care of it.
Indian Railway is a worst function of indian government, instead of helping peoples every employee try to exploit. The way they talk and behave is pathetic, how the passed the selection process is always a mystery for me.
They are all kings in there area and and on every Republic day we claim that we are living in democratic country. Ignorance of law is not an excuse but laws are formed to protect and manage the civilization.
Why no one in power is looking upon this problem i don't understand.

Indian Railway, New Delhi — extra Ticket

Last week when i want to go to Aligarh by Neelanchal express,general ticket vending person refused to give me the ticket to Aligarh and told me there is no train to Aligarh. Again i had to stand in the que for customer care and he asked me to take ticket upto Kanpur when the train stops at Aligarh. I had to pay almost double of the actual ticket fare.

Railways — Platform Ticket

आदरणीय साहब,
जबलपुर के प्लेटफॉर्म नंबर 4 पर सभी टिकिट विंडो से कल 15/5/2011 दोपहर 15:30 बजे किसी भी खिड़की से प्लेटफॉर्म टिकिट नहीं दिया गया और कर्मचारी द्वारा "दूसरी खिड़की से प्लेटफॉर्म टिकिट मिलेगा " कह कर टालते गए और किसी भी खिड़की से टिकिट नहीं दिया गया और बतमीजीपूर्वक व्यवहार किया गया । रेल्वे द्वारा कहा जाता है की प्लेटफॉर्म टिकिट ले कर जाया जाय लेकिन रेल्वेकर्मचारी द्वारा ही टिकिट नहीं दिया जाता है । ऐसी स्थिति में बिना टिकिट लिए व्यक्ति प्लेटफॉर्म पर जाता है तो उसका कोई दोष नहीं है और टीसी द्वारा गेट पर परेशान नही किया जाना चाहिये। और व्यक्ति की समस्या को सुनना भी चाहिये। प्लेटफॉर्म टिकिट नहीं देने की बात दो बार हो चुकी है इस कारण अब मुझे अब शिकायत करनी पड़ रही है। आशा करते हैं की इस पर आप गंभीरता पूर्वक शीघ्र समस्या का हल करेंगे।
धन्यवाद।
my name is madhu. i too had a very bad experience at coimbatore junction. i asked for two platform tickets, for me and my son and gave Rs 10. that lady in the counter said that she didnt have change and returned my money with out issuing ticket.by then the train arrived in which my mother was coming. so i decided to buy the ticket once i came down. after picking up my mom, went to a magazine shop, bought a book just for the change. coming down, one lady padhmavathi called me and asked for the ticket and i told her what had happened and my GOD she behaved like an un educated and just raised her voice and spoke as if i was telling a lie. what is the need for me to lie? i took her to the ticket counter and even after verifying the truth, she wouldnt let me go and charged me fine of Rs 640 and issued a reciept which says that Rs 140 excess fare and Rs 500 for luggage. where is Rs 6 and 640. atrocious. arrogant lady was disgusting . i dont think that money must have gone to the railways. as said above employees try to exploit. if railways cant give a change of Rs 4, then what can we do?

My Wife’s bus was cancelled today from Sarai Kale Khan so I book a railway ticket for my wife from the reservation counter at Nizamuddin but forgot to take a platform ticket for my self.
The ticket checker asked for the ticket so I dint have one he said I have to pay the fair from New Delhi to Nizamuddin which was Rs255 which is not right as I only dint have a platform ticket. No platform ticket does not mean I have traveled by train without a ticket. The fine slip should not contain details for travel fine should be for no platform ticket bought. As I had proof of parking slip for my car and time on it, which clearly states that I only dint have a platform ticket. The fine slip contains that I have traveled from New Delhi to Nizammudin without a ticket which is wrong receipt and wrong accusation.
Dear Sir/ Madam
I'm Manoj Singh sir when i reach the Nizamuddin station i want crossing pull for platform ticket for my self.but i'm walking on pull not on platform

Today i had a very bad experience of being fined for platform ticket.
Myself and my friend went to howrah station to do reservaton after charting done to board a train at 8:05 am.We were going to tht counter when the tt asked us for platform ticket.I told her that we are about to do reservation just now.also asked her that w have only stepped in the station to buy tckt and hav.ent entered platform.There was an argument as she was nt reluctant to hear and fined us 260 rs each.As we dint had time and had to catch train we paid her.But I want to know how it is justified as we had just entered d station and nt platform.but we were fined.Need a jjustification as this situation is not defined in the rules for penalty
PLATFORM TICKET FINE

Sir/Madam

I'm S.Ambikeswaran Vishwakarma today, suddenly...my wife needed to travel to Trichy in emergency through Pallavan Express...and morning I got the tickets reserved(Second Class). Then i checked my PNR status time to time.Finally She got the confirmation.As it was so urgent, I sent off her and returned.On the way of return at 3.50 P.M, 3 Women and one Gent Squad, blocked me and investigated on the Platform Ticket.I explained him by saying that..its time for the train to leave the station, I am forced to drop her without taking the Platform Ticket.But they were so rude to me and they imposed fine over me.I asked for many excuses, but they didn't mind.He started to talk roughly and pressurized me to pay the fine by saying that If I didn't pay the fine now...I need to go to the court to pay Rs.1800 for a single..Platform Fare of Rs.5/-. Then I paid Rs.255 (platform Fare-5 + Excess Fare- 250).But in the receipt they have issued that the fine is due to the non-payment of the journey Ticket from MSB to MS .Then I returned home and googled it then i found out that MSB meaning Madras Station Beach and MS meaning Madras Station ( Egmore ). Then I came to know that they have issued the fine because I didnt pay the journey fare in the Local Electric Train.I seriously got embarrassed as why not a single higher official didn't take an action over these kinds of problems.

Further Details:

Receipt Number : 367476 dated 30/09/2013

I agree to this fine if I didn't take the journey Ticket to move on to any other place.But its so mean to pay such a large amount for a platform Fare.Hence sufficient actions must be taken over by the Railway Department for imposing such a pay over the citizens .
platform ticket fine

today we went to the platform without a platform ticket, we actually dint know..as there was no counter, the lady there charged rs.640., for two o[censored]s..this is two much, for a public, , if they charge fine, at this rate, india will end up nowhere, not neccessary, to take..five yr plans to improve india, atleast resonable rate..will do.not two much, what will poor people do, this happened in coimbatore railway junction..where two lady's charged us..and the other person, with me, said the man in the office, ' where will i tell this..charging of high amt..'.. the man said with full gutts..'dont say anywhere'...is this the way to talk to the public...plz take neccessary steps on this...as i know something on this...as i am a commerce, and a economics student...
Hi sir / madam I am an employee, my office is near to the barathnagar railway station. Daily I will come in the same route where I have to cross the station but today a TC stopped me and asked me about train ticket but am not step down from the train then she asked me about flatform ticket but I don't have and I don't know to buy because daily am coming in the same route and never she asked me.And she told me to pay 500 rs for without flat form ticket and 260 rs for travelling without ticket . Am not agree for that and I asked for the rules and I told i have no money. Then she checked my bag and took 260rs for fine and she wrote on the challan as TWT then I have asked why you are writing on the challan as TWT then she answered for flat form without ticket 500rs if you want to pay then you can . I agree I don't have flat form tkt but I have to know what is the actual fine for without flat form tkt and even I asked about the rules. Please let me know what is the charge...

Regards,
An employee.
