If you are a train passenger, this news is very useful and important for you. If you suddenly have to travel by train, now is not the time to worry. Because now you can travel by train even without reservation rules.
In fact, in such a situation, the only option before was the instant ticket and it was not easy to get a ticket. However, now the railways have provided special facilities for the passengers. Now with this facility you can travel without reservation.
Travel on Platform Tickets - Now you can also travel on Platform Tickets. If you suddenly want to go somewhere, but you do not have a reservation, in that case, you can take the Platform Ticket Rules and board the train directly.
Importantly, for the convenience of the passengers, the Railways have made this rule (Indian Railways Rules). However, you need to contact TTE immediately after purchasing a platform ticket.
If the seat is not available? No worries - importantly, you can travel even if there are no seats available on the train during this time. According to railway rules, if a seat is not available in the train, TTE may refuse to give you a reserved seat.
In this way, if you do not have a reservation, you can get a ticket to the place you want to go by paying a penalty of only Rs 250. For this, the rest of the fare will be charged by reducing the price of the ticket taken from you.
Platform Ticket Rules - The Benefits of Platform Ticket allow you to not only board the platform but also board the train. However, you will need to get a ticket for the category you are traveling in.
How long is your seat? Most importantly, if your train leaves for some reason, TTE will not be able to allot your seat to anyone for the next two stations. Because of this, you have the opportunity to catch the train to the next two stations.
