[Resolved]  Southern Railway — Uninformed collection of fine for exceeding luggage weight

Respected Sir/Madam,

I had travelled from ahmedabad to chennai (reached chennai 06 Nov 09). Upon boarding the train i had asked the TTE as to whether the luggage i was carrying was within the prescribed limits and he confirmed on the positive side,but upon reaching chennai i was in for a shock as i was asked to pay a fine of Rs 600 for carrying excessive luggage. Now the queries i have are

1. Where is it mentioned in the ticket that i have a measure of the luggage that i can carry ,in this case it was an e-ticket ? (where mentioning this so called rule is probably the easiest.)

2. Incase we should have been aware of this rule why wasnt i informed this before boarding the train by the TTE ?

3. Horrible explanation by the examiner in chennai .Guess the person has no answers to queries i put across and in my opinion not suitable for that post .
E.g. The examiner cooly says that he has a target for Rs.50000 per month to cover which defines the horrible state of affairs in the railways.

4 . The million dollar question . will these queries be addressed at all ??

Thanks in advance hoping that i might get a answer to these queries .

Regards
