[Resolved]  Tata Consultancy Services Ltd. — Fine on travelling without ticket

I am working as a software engineer in Chennai. I agree that I missed my ticket at the end of my journey in a bus. And that was my first experience. I was caught by the ticket checker where I got down. I realized that I missed my ticket on the way. I begged them that I had taken ticket and lost it on the way. I agree, that was not a convincing statement and they should not believe in my words. They asked me to pay Rs.500/- as a fine. Well I was not aware what is the fine on travelling without ticket. Goodness, I had only Rs.100 in my pocket. They were not happy, but atleast they let me go by pocketing my only 100 Rs. Can anyone tell me what is the actual fine amount? I did not mind in paying the fine, but there was an announcement infront of everyone by the checker "this madam did not take the ticket" ! That was really hurting ! This is a kind of insult I felt !
