[Resolved]  Indian Railways — Excess Fare charged

I had booked a ticket on Mangala Express (Train No 2618) which was waitlisted (11, 12, 13, 14) for 9th april. Even after charts were prepared the status did not change. As I had to board the train to reach Kerala on time for an important function, I approached the Station Master and purchased a fresh ticket. The station master at Kalyan Junction charged me Rs. 1684/- (Fare) + Rs. 1000/- (Excess fare) - Total Rs. 2684/- for a normal ticket.

I would like to know why was I charged the excess fare of Rs. 1000/-. As train was to leave in 5 mins I could not risk waiting and seeking explanations.

Please help to reimburse the money.

I had purchased to & fro 3AC tickets for 3 person in HWH-KGM Wkly Spl train from HWH to KGM & back on 20/3/09.
Following fare is given in every Indian Railways official website

Train no. Train name Fare
0363(Up) HWH-KGM Wkly Spl Basic fare - Rs.1054/-
Resv chg – Rs.25/-

0364(Down) KGM-HWH Wkly Spl Basic fare – Rs. 1054/-
Resv chg – Rs. 25/-
Supfast chg – Rs.30/-

Total fare for upward journey per person is Rs.1079/-, so 3 passangers fare would be Rs.3237/-. Similarly, downward fare per person is Rs.1109/-, so 3 passangers fare would be Rs.3327/-.
However, I was charged Rs.3297/- & Rs.3432/- repectively for 2 journeys. Going by the Railways official fare chart I paid excess amount of Rs.165/-. I demand a refund of that aforesaid amount ASAP.
My Ticket no. & PNR no. are 34918130 &[protected] and 34918131 &[protected] respectively.
Also I fail to understand why same train become superfast on its downward journey from KGM to HWH.

Indian Railways — Excess Fare Charged During the Journey

Dear Sir/Madam,


I have booked my e-ticket from surat to Mirzapur by tapti Ganga Exp Train No 2945. My PNR No was [protected]. This PNR contains six passenger incuding me. For ID Proff I have kept Driving License Copy Duly Attested by Executive Magistrate Surat District. T C has checked the ticket authorise us for journey from surat. But after bhusaval Juction a checking staff had examined our ticket & I Proff. He has not accpeted my Id proff as a valid proff & Charged Rs.9452 Excess fare. The checking staff had told us that pay the exccess fare right now further you can take back this exccess fare from surat station by showing your origional photo id. The behaviour of the checking staff was not good with us. After reaching surat i have inquired about my exccess money fare. The station master Mr. Shiekh has told us the statement made by checking staff for refund of money is incorrect. Now this means for a single journey i have paid Rs.5706 for my pnr [protected] & Exccess fare charged Rs.9452 charged by Checking Staff.
Please advice us what i can do in this matter. How can i will get my exccess money charged by Checking Staff. I have also kept the origional receipt charged by checking staff.

Your kind attention in this metter is highly appriciated.
