Indian Railways — incorrect charging or unethical charging.

Address:

Mumbai City, Maharashtra, 400056

I had a ticket from mumbai central to vapi by shatabdi express on 13th august, 2019. (Pnr number [protected]) i boarded in suburban train second class compartment from andheri for borivali station, as i already had tkt from mumbai central to up to vapi station.

A tte charged me rs. 260 (Rs 10 for ticket and rs 250/- as penalty) considering me as ticketless traveler though i had a valid ticket of shatabdi express. According to him the shatabdi express train tickets are not valid in suburban trains.

If such be the case, almost half of the train get emptied at borivali station. And people board suburban trains to complete their journey. As per the rule stated by tte (Name ganesh shekhar) everybody should come out of borivali station with all their luggage and buy separate ticket for suburban train.

This is ridiculous. Such rules are made by railways so that tte can make settlement and earn more money. I see no other reason for this rule. As we have already paid for the ticket.in fact more money than required for suburban train.

Hope somebody will look in to this. And change the rule is such rules exist or punish the errant tte.
