Indian Railways: How much is the fine if you are traveling without a ticket in the general coach of the train?

Indian Railways is operating thousands of trains across the country. These trains connect the border areas of the country to big metros. Due to this, Indian Railways has an important contribution to the connectivity of the country. For this reason, Indian Railways is also called the lifeline of the nation. Every day crores of passengers travel on Indian trains. Indian Railways has made many rules to make the journey of the passengers convenient.

The fare on the train is very low and traveling on it is also very convenient. There are many types of coaches on the train like AC, sleeper, and general. However, many people travel in the general coach of the train. However, it is necessary to take a ticket to travel in the general coach of the train as well. If you are traveling without a ticket in the general coach of the train, then you can be fined if caught.

Under the rules of Indian Railways, if you travel without a ticket in the general coach of Indian trains, then a fine of Rs 250 will be charged to you if caught. Apart from this, the TTE will also take the full fare from you.
