Indian Railways and IRCTC: Railway travel is the least expensive and convenient for middle class Indians. However, there are some such rules of railways about which the common people have very little knowledge. Today we are telling about some such rules which will make your train journey more enjoyable.
First of all, you should know that according to the rules of the railway, if you are sleeping during the night, then TTE cannot wake you up and check your ticket. If a passenger is traveling in the train since morning, TTE cannot disturb you after 10 pm. That is, TTE cannot ask passengers to show ticket or ID after 10 pm.
When can the ticket checking be done?
TTE has the right to check the tickets of passengers only between 6 am to 10 pm. The passengers who are traveling since morning, cannot be disturbed by TTE after 10 PM. But if a passenger boards the train after 10 PM, then TTE has every right to check the ticket and ID even after 10 PM.
bedtime is also fixed
Usually, during slipper or AC third class travel, those passengers whose seat is on the middle berth have to wait to sleep. In such a situation, it happens many times that the passenger of the middle berth also has to wait till the passenger in the lower berth does not sleep. But if you know the rules of the railway, then you will avoid such problems. According to the rules of the Railways, passengers traveling in the middle berth can sleep after opening their seats after 10 pm. But they will have to fold their seats at 6 am so that the passenger sitting below can sit comfortably.
What is Two Stop Rule
There is also a rule of two stop in the railway. That is, if a passenger is traveling in a train and has not reached his seat, TTE cannot allot your seat to another passenger for the next two stops of the train or for the next one hour. This means that if the passenger does not reach the seat till the next 2 stations of your boarding station, TTE will assume that the passenger in the reserved seat has not caught the train and after crossing the third stop TTE transfers your seat to another can allocate.
