Indian Railways Rule: As much fun as traveling by train seems, it sometimes becomes difficult to get a confirmed ticket. Many people’s tickets are not confirmed even after being booked two-three months in advance. In such situations, some people take the help of unauthorized agents. But do you know that if you are caught traveling in a train by taking tickets from unauthorized agents, then legal action can be taken against you and you can also be fined.
Why are such tickets considered wrong?
If you buy tickets from such unauthorized agents, then know in advance that they book tickets using fake documents. Such tickets are not considered valid. Besides, they also book tickets using someone else’s name. If you are caught with such a ticket in a train, you may be in trouble. Therefore, always book tickets from the official website or app of IRCTC only.
