higher class with lower class tickets.
It has come to Board's notice that provisions contained in Section 137 and 138 of
Railway Act, 1989 are not being properly followed by the zonal railways in respect of charging
passengers traveling in higher class with lower class tickets. Minimum distance chargeable in
distance restricted trains is also found to be ignored.
The mater has been examined in Board's Office and it is reiterated that the following
provisions as stipulated in Railway Act 1989 and Para 229 of Commercial Manual may strictly
be followed while charging a'passenger found traveling with lower class ticket in upper class.
a)
Difference of fare between the two claSses upto the point of detection or the
minimum chargeable distance whichever is higher along with penalty. Penalty to be
levied Willbe equal to the charge payable, subject to a minimum ofRs. 250/-.
b)
In distance restricted trains, the difference of fare paid and the minimum fare
payable for the fITst station after the restricted distance where the train has a
commercial"halt plus the usual penalty as per rules should be levied irrespective of
the point of detection.
