Irctc — Unnecessary charges imposed by TTE on all the passengers

Address:Bangalore, Karnataka

Hi IRCTC,
On the Occasion of Dussera festival I traveled to and fro from Bangalore to Hyderabad.
Below are the travel details...
PNR : [protected] YPR – KCG DOJ :[protected] YPR-KCG EXP
PNR : [protected] KCG – SBC DOJ :[protected] BANGALORE EXP

In the above Journey PNR : [protected] dated[protected] YPR-KCG EXP, the train was started at 15:30 from YPR, TTE was supposed to check the tickets in the train as early as the train starts but unfortunately TTE came at 12:30 – 01:00AM i.e., 8hours after the journey was started in the midnight for ticket checking and he demanded to pay extra Rs.20 from me(2 persons me & my spouse). I was astonished and asked why you are collecting extra fare from the passengers, he replied, as this was towards the Railway fares are increased by 2%, and as I was demanded for a receipt of extra fare he said that the receipt would not be given to each and every PNR but it will receipted for whole train in a single recpit.
That was not only me from whom he collected the extra fare, but from all the passengers who were travelling in the train.
I checked the newspaper in the morning and found that the extra fare of 2% will applicable from 17-Oct 2013, if the tickets are already booked before the date specified it would be collected from TTE during journey.

And proceeding to return Journey from KCG – SBC PNR : [protected] dated[protected] BANGALORE EXP, there were no extra charges collected from TTE during the time of journey.
As this return journey(PNR [protected]) was 5days after the first journey(PNR [protected]), If the collection of the extra fare was as per the rules, why the return journey(PNR [protected]) TTE was not collected the extra fare.
This clearly shows the TTE at the first journey (PNR [protected]), was wrongly imposed the extra fare charges on all the passengers in the train and he was looting the whole public in the train as he was representing the government and doing so.

This is not the matter of Rs.20 which I paid to TTE, but this was regarding the loot in the whole train and was representing government to do this, and I wanted to bring to the notice to the higher officials so that Aam-Admi is being cheated.

Thanks,
Sunil.

you are a fool person... read newspaper again... fare increased from 07/10/2013... not from 17/10/2013... TTE have to collect pending amount... other wise he should pay from pocket... and in return journey... whether your tickets checked or not...if tickets were not checked how would anyone collect pending amount... shame on you...
