Indian Railway Rules: The Indian Railways network is a vast network that caters to millions of crores of passengers every day. To ensure convenience for passengers and maintain order, the Railways has established certain rules, violation of which can result in fines and punishment. In line with passenger comfort, a new rule has been introduced by the Railways, which states that even if you have a train ticket and are waiting on the platform, you can be fined.
What is the waiting time on the platform: The waiting time on the platform varies for day and night. If your train is scheduled during the day, you can wait on the platform by reaching the station 2 hours prior to the train time. On the other hand, if your train is scheduled during the night, you can arrive 6 hours before the train time and wait on the platform. However, if you arrive before the specified time, the Ticket Travelling Examiner (TTE) can charge you a fine.
Have to take platform ticket: If a passenger wishes to spend more time on the platform than the designated waiting time set by the Railways, it is mandatory to obtain a platform ticket. In this case, no penalty will be imposed.
Why was the platform rule made? The platform rule regarding waiting time has been implemented by the Indian Railways to manage the large crowd of passengers on the platform. Additionally, if a passenger wants to stay at the station instead of traveling home by night train, they are allowed to stay on the platform for 6 hours. If someone needs to change trains and catch another one, they are permitted to stay on the platform for only 2 hours.
These rules and regulations have been put in place by the Indian Railways to ensure the smooth functioning of the railway network and provide a comfortable experience for passengers. It is important for passengers to adhere to these rules and avoid any unnecessary fines or penalties.
