[Resolved]  Tech Mahindra — Indecent Behaviour of TTE

Dear Sir,

This incident happend on my Travel from Tirunelveli to Chennai in Nellai Express dtd 20th June, 2008. I was carrying an e-ticket and as authentication proof was carrying a laminated xerox copy of my Pancard. The TTE incharge after seeing my xerox PANCARD insisted me to show the original PANCARD, which I did not carry at that moment. I explained to him that I can supplement my authentication with CreditCard, DebitCard, Company Card and still the TTE rudely and indecently shouted at me in front of all passengers that I will be aligted at the next station, if I do not possess the Original PanCard. Finally the TTE budged in after one of my cousin interfered and talked to the TTE.

I want to know what rights I have in such situations when I am a genuine ticket holder. The TTE very well knows that I am a genuine passenger, but still behaved in a rude and indecent manner - was he expecting some money from me on this pretext.

I wish the Railways remove the word original authentication proof from the e-ticket printout, as I for one never carry the original for fear of loosing it as it happened once in my journey.
