Railway Knowledge- Many times it also happens that instead of getting down at the station for which the passenger has taken the ticket, he wants to get down at a further station, then such a passenger can increase the journey distance on his train ticket.
New Delhi. Many passengers are not able to get off the train at their designated station. This could be due to sleepiness or too much crowd. In such a situation, they are forced to travel to the next station. In such a situation, the question would arise that if they remain in the train even after leaving the station, will they be considered as ticketless passengers? Or will the Railways, considering their helplessness, allow them to travel for free to the next station?
Actually, the rule is that during the journey, if you are found traveling in the train without a ticket or with a short distance ticket, then a fine is charged from you. But, Railways also gives you the facility that you can get the ticket made from TTE in the train itself by paying a nominal fine. Yes, it is important to note that reserved category tickets will be extended only when the seat is vacant. Indian Railways takes full care of the facilities, compulsions and needs of the passengers. For this reason, there is a lot of flexibility in the rules made regarding railway tickets.
How to upgrade train tickets
If you have taken a ticket till the last station but for some reason you have to go further, then in such a situation you can extend your ticket. For this you will have to go to TTE in the train. He will have to show his ticket. You will also have to tell why you had not previously taken a ticket for the station to which you want to go. TTE will make you a ticket to travel as far as you want for some extra charge. The thing to note is that the fare charged will be on point to point basis, that is, it will be equal to the price of the new ticket from the original last station to the new station.
Which class of ticket can be extended?
Ticket extension facility is for unreserved tickets. This means that you can promote general tickets at any time. As far as reserved tickets are concerned, reserved tickets can be extended only when there are seats available for the station up to which you want to extend the ticket.
