Hi, I travelled from Bangalore to Chennai on 4th January, 2015 in Train No. 12658 - Chennai Mail at 22:40. I boarded in Bangalore City Junction(SBC) in Couch No. S9 due to heavy rush in general(un-reserved coach) compartment. Before I get into train, I checked with TTE(Mr. Sulok) where I can get any berth/seat in S9. He told he will check and confirm and accepted me to get into reserved coach.
I mid of my travel, he came to me and confirmed the seat no. 1(side upper berth) in S9 coach. He said I have to pay Rs. 375 as penalty and charge for converting un-reserved ticket to confirmed berth. I agreed to pay Rs.375. He gave me receipt of Rs. 125(only Rupees One Hundred and Twenty File). When I asked him why he mentioned only Rs. 125 when I paid Rs. 375, he refused to answer to my question. Instead he asked me to get down from the berth and get down from compartment. I argued with him and not accepted the receipt of Rs. 125. I demanded for Rs. 375, which I paid to him. I observed that the remaining (Rs. 250) amount he put in his pocket. Like this he earned nearly thousands of rupees for each journey and making Indian Railways loss.
I have seen the same amount he collected nearly from 10+ passengers and issues receipt only for Rs. 125. Due to I rejected the receipt for Rs.125, my allotted berth has been given to other passenger who accepted Rs. 125 receipt and paid Rs.375. I demanded and got receipt of Rs. 375 and stood in the same compartment during my entire journey.
I request Railway Intelligence to keep on eye on these type of bribed and corrupted employees to keep railway corruption free. I have receipt of Rs. 375. Just before the bill number he entered other bills of Rs. 125 which I rejected. You please enquire on this take appropriate action against him.
I don't know about the TTE and I am not against him personally. I just wanted to complaint about these type of employees who making our Great Indian Railways mess.
Declaration:
The details furnished above is truth and real incident. I have my ticket and receipt of Rs. 375 with me. I can scan and send it to you if you required.
