[Resolved]  Indian Railways — Fines for ticketless travel

I am travelling from Coimbatore to Cherthala with my family in Rapti sagar express. Due to heavy rush at railway counter instead of 2 full fare and 2 half fare, i took 4 full fare ordinary tickets by mistake.Usually we used to upgrade the same to sleeper in the train itself. Upto Palakkad TTE was not available in the compartment and as this is a general practice we have even upgraded the tickets at last station.From palakkad, one lady Railway sqad member inspected our tickets and charged Rs 325 x 4 nos for ticketless travel. Later by knowing the real reason they reduced the amount to Rs 325. As we were returning to Cherthala after celebrating Onam at CBE with my brother i was hardly bearing Rs 600 in my purse. As you know my credit / debit cards will not be able to get a mineral water or snacks for my kids. Now am sitting in the nearby local compartment and writing this mail.

As this can happen to any one, i would like to know the sin i made in this context.
Usually when we appraoch the TTE for ticket upgradation, they used to ask us to occupy any seat first and the upgradation can be done when they inspect the compartment.
What would be the suggested mode of legal upgradation in a running train?
She was suggesting me to roam here and tere for TTE for ticket upgradation by leaving my wife and kids in the Compartment, is it ethical?

More than the money lost, i really feel pity about my helplessness for bring some joyful moments to my family and even my kids feel that i was punished for ticketless travel.

please help me to get justice if am 100% right

Railway Staff travels in mail trains — Railway staff

Several times while travelling from Pune to Mumbai or vice-versa, there are several local peoples travels even in 2nd A.c. and 3rd A.c. coaches of sahyadri exp. I hereby like to ask, with what authority they can travel this way in a reserved A.c. coach, they are in large groups, makes so much noise, and just blocks the way for even going to toilets, last week even in Singhad exp. from kalyan to cst there aere around 70-80 ppls standing in A>c. chair car coach, just imagine, if any ladies or old age wants to go to toilet, its next to impossible. Do i need to know here, how can local peoples be travel in such reserved coaches without reservation. Is this is what we pay 4 times fares from second class, where the condition is not even worth like going in General class.
Need a Quick reply.
Darmesh and K.C.Grjar, I think both r railway-staff and in tte type job. What they are going to understand about passengers' plights or counter-staffs' atrocities however hoarse shouted. They are deaf and dumb to commuters sufferings. First are they perfect in their duty...? Before fining passengers did they provide adequate counters to provide tickets..? Indian railway act. chapter-9 sec 920 says adequate counters must be made to facilitate easy purchase of tickets which is seen not done, so from where did they get the right to fine the innocent people...? All ARROGANCE of Central govt. job and railway staff. Gandhi forget to get freedom for people of India from these adamantly arrogant central gov. staff...?
Can anyone please tell me where can I find the chart from where the TTE calculates the fine. Can I find it only. TTE are charging as they wish because we are not educated in this field So please tell me where is the fine chart.

How can we file against railways for accidents, not running trains on time, clumsiness, insufficient trains, with frequent rise in charges, service charge, IRCTC site & it's charge, TTE misconduct, Pantry car Fire/quality

They are not doing their job ..they they talk rules/penalties

let me get it first ...Railways are for Purpose/Intent ...why we need to follow these rules when they it's self not doing their job ...
