Indian Railway Rules: TTE cannot check your ticket while traveling in train, know these important rules

There are many rules to be followed while traveling in Indian Railways. But these rules are not only for the passengers but also for the TTE who checks the tickets. Let us know at what time during the journey… 

Every day lakhs of people travel by train. Some people use the train for short distances and some for long journeys. Railways always try to ensure that passengers do not face any problems during the journey and their experience is good. Especially those traveling at night are taken care of so that their sleep is not disturbed. Many times people complain that the TTE (ticket checker) comes to check tickets at midnight, which disturbs their sleep. But the Railways has made clear rules in this regard, which will give relief to the passengers.

When can’t TTE check tickets?

According to railway rules, TTE is not allowed to check tickets in sleeper or AC coaches from 10 pm to 6 am. This rule has been made so that passengers can sleep peacefully at night. But if a passenger boards the train after 10 pm, then in that particular situation TTE is allowed to check tickets. But waking up already travelling passengers without any reason and asking for tickets is completely wrong and against the rules.

This helpline number to complain

If the TTE harasses you without any reason after 10 pm or repeatedly asks for the ticket, you can complain on railway helpline number 139. This helpline works day and night and action is taken on your complaint immediately. Railways is trying to strictly implement these rules so that passengers can get better facilities. Many times people do not complain due to lack of knowledge of the rules, but now that you are aware of your rights, definitely take advantage of it.

Night train rules

The railways have not only focused on ticket checking, but have also made other rules to maintain peace at night. The main lights of the coach are switched off after 10 pm. Listening to music or watching videos without headphones is strictly prohibited. Talking loudly is also considered wrong. The movement of cleaning staff is also reduced at night. All these rules are made so that the journey of the passengers can be comfortable and pleasant.

The aim of the Railways is that every passenger should have a good experience, especially during night travel. Therefore it is important to follow these rules and know your rights. If you travel by train, keep these things in mind. This will not only make your journey better, but you can also maintain a good environment for others. This effort of the Railways is a big step for the passengers, which will make the journey easier.
