Many times, in the hasty of the journey and catching the train, either people forget to charge the phone or leave the charger only and then the phone in which the ticket is booked, the same stops. In such a situation, what can TT do with you and what not, let us tell you detailed. If you have booked the train ticket online and your mobile is closed before showing TT, then do not panic, you will not be declared “without ticket passenger” immediately. But there are some important conditions and precautions, which are very important for you to know. This news is for the same passengers who travel in the train with e-tickets and wonder what will happen when the phone is closed.
What will happen when the phone is closed?
The e-ticket booked from IRCTC is present in the records of the railway. TTE i.e. train ticket inspector can remove your booking information from his device. If you have a valid identity card, such as Aadhaar card, PAN card, voter ID or driving license, it can confirm your identity and ticket. In this situation you will not be considered a passenger without ticket. Yes, in the event of phone closure, you can say to TT that such and such is mine and this is my name from which the ticket is booked. After this, TT can ask for evidence for identification, which is very important to have you. Such as Aadhaar card, PAN card, driving license or any other identity ID.
If ID proof is not nearby, then the case can go wrong!
If your mobile is closed and you are not able to show any identity card, then the matter may deteriorate. In this situation, TTE can consider you without a ticket passenger. In such a situation, you can be fined or you may have to take a new ticket on the onboard if the seat is available. Remember, onboard tickets are expensive by common tickets. Apart from this, you can also be removed from the train if you do not get a seat. The clear rule of the railway is that the confirmation of the online ticket is considered only when the passenger has an identity card. That is, if the mobile is closed, it is not a big deal, but it is mandatory to show the ID.
