“I was fined by a ticket checker in railway for taking a wrong ticket” The first experience of train fine in Indian railways.
It was a wrong turn when I picked a superfast train instead of a local. When you are in hurry, you can make such mistakes. Isn’t It?
As I was late reaching the station, I move my feets fast and stood up in a long queue(Actually too long queue). The after 10 minutes, it was lunch time, so the one making tickets at the window was not there and I wasted my time standing there.
There was a ticket vending machine, at the left which I knew when peoples were gathering there. Then I took a ticket of a train from Ambala to Chandigarh, which was just about 30 kilometers and I paid 35 rupees. Then I was sitting and relaxing on the train. But, I didn’t know that Today I have to Pay “Fine”.

When I reached Chandigarh, a TT checked my ticket and fined my 400 Rs. just for about 30 km. I requested him to not make train fine, but after all, he is an employee of railways. I paid It
Personal tip–
- Don’t be in hurry while picking a train.
- Check tickets and train before traveling
- And don’t ask anyone about the train, as they may misunderstand whatever you are asking them. Check Signboards and manually check train details on railway website.
