For the convenience of passengers and to make the journey comfortable, Indian Railways makes many rules from time to time.

Some people need a place to sit at night and some people want to sleep. In such a situation, it is important for you to know the rules related to middle berth in advance. So today let us tell you from what time you can use the middle berth in the train and what is the railway rule regarding this.
From what time can I use the middle berth?
According to the rules of Indian Railways, the time for sleeping in reserved coaches is fixed from 10 pm to 6 am. In such a situation, middle berth passengers can sleep with their seats open from 10 pm to 6 am. According to this rule, if a passenger wants to sleep on the middle berth after 10 pm, then the passengers sitting on the lower berth cannot stop him. This time is considered the official sleeping time and all passengers have to follow this rule.
Middle berth cannot be opened during the day
According to railway rules, it is necessary to keep the middle berth closed after 6 am. So that lower berth passengers can get space to sit. The middle berth cannot be used for sitting or sleeping during day time. If a passenger opens the middle berth before 10 pm, the lower berth passenger can refuse to do so and can also complain to TT.
It is also important to know the rules related to lower berth
Lower berths can be used both day and night, but middle berth passengers have the right to sleep from 10 pm to 6 am. During the day, lower berth passengers have to give way to middle berth and upper berth passengers. Railways made this rule so that all passengers get equal facilities and no one is inconvenienced.
