Railway Rules: Railways is earning a lot in the name of children’s tickets. If you also travel by train with children, then know its rules.
If a child between the age of 1 year to 4 years travels in the train, then there is no need to make reservation in the reserved bogie. Children below 5 years can travel in the train without a ticket.
However, if a child in the age group of 5 to 12 years does not want to take a separate reserved seat, he can travel on the seat of his parents or any accompanying passenger by paying half the fare.
At the same time, if parents book a separate berth for a child aged between 5 to 12 years, then they will have to pay the full ticket fare.
Let us tell you, if you have filled the details of the name of a child between 1 year to 4 years while making reservation, then you will have to pay the full fare. If details are not filled, children between 1 year to 4 years can travel free.
