[Resolved]  Indian Railway — Fine for not having platform Ticket

Address:North East Delhi, Delhi

I went to old Delhi railway station to see off my friend who had already come there and was waiting for another train to board.
After meeting him and he boarded his train, I was caught by a ticket checker for not having a ticket; I explained him that I was not aware about the procedure(I was indeed not aware about the same) but to no avail.
I asked him to let me go and find out if it is true but he didn't allow me to do so.
He fined me Rs. 254. In the meantime so many people crossed him but he didnt check them.
It was a terrible & frustrating experience for me.
There should be effecient system in railway so that nobody can enter the plateform untill a ticket is available instead of paying a heavy fine for nothing.(that too when u were not at all aware of the same).

Hi,

I am Software Emplyee, Mumbai. At the WeekEnds i am always plan for going to temples. But with in 20 Weeks i Absorved that Ticket Collector & RPF Police People are Behaving very worst way to get the Money from the Passengers.

1. Police People is asking the Ticket, when the passenger showing the ticket Police People take the ticket and telling him to come with me. There they telling to the Passenger you are not having the Ticket. You Have to Pay the Fine of 500/-. TC & Police People are Cheating the Passengers. And they saying that you have to go to jail and also Beating with leg. Due to these dirty Animals your society is going very back and no body is taking care of passengers. Who has to take care of these Animals and also Police People Support is Ticket Collector also. This Sutivation is happened in Every Day Dadar next stop Elpenston Stop very very very bad for Western Line Passengers.

Please Sir if any body is in Higger Grade in the Govt. Office. Please Make like Issue to be Sent to Exact Inbox Place. Because i have no option to post the this message to correct person. Thats why i am posting in this Place.

2. Good Sir For Our Mistake we have to Pay the Fine and No Mistake also we have to Pay Fine. Hands Up to the Indian Government.

3. Definitly Each and Every Human Being in the Indian Should be Corrupted.
Me along with my wife and three year old kid committed the mistake of not securing a platform ticket due to the urgency to drop my old parents who needed help to board the train.
Kr puram railway station is situated on the main road and is a trespassed by many locals for crossing from one side to another.only me and one other person were picked by a very rude behaving ticket checker with a red tag, not even able to make out if it's a genuine officer, no uniform and was screaming for money.
They were very choosy in picking their victims and letting go people who looked poor .
after digital India I hardly carry cash with me and genuinely had paytm and debit cards.they refuse to let me and my family go and held without a solution putting everyone indiscomfort.
Another person's I phone worth 98000 was confiscated to pay the fine.upon argument for snatching the phone the TT who was a lady claimed that her picture was taken of the incident and called railway police.he was later taken to police custody for further harassment.
We genuinely understand that we are at fault for not securing a platform ticket.but I think this need to be fixed by the government by introducing a tab on the online ticketing Portal giving provision to buy platform ticket as well.we are not people who can't afford a platform ticket..it's the inconvenience getting them on hand or the system which is not secure letting us do this.
Ticket checker should also have provision to collect digital money.
Request govt to take this as a feedback and take necessary measures.
