Train Ticket Age Mistake: If you travel by train and you fill in any information wrongly while booking the ticket, then you may face a big problem. Actually, while booking a ticket, you fill the name, train number, date and seat information carefully, but if you do not fill the age in the age column, then there can be a big danger for you. If the age mentioned in the ticket is different from that in your identity card, then this small mistake can cause problems during the journey. In such cases, you may be charged an extra fare or penalty as per railway rules.

According to railway rules, you have to show your ticket at the time of travel and documents like an Aadhar card when required. In such a situation, it becomes necessary to verify all the details properly at the time of ticket booking. In such a situation, please let us know whether TTE can ask for more money due to the wrong age being entered on the ticket.

Is there a penalty for the wrong age on the ticket?

Whereas under Section 54 of the Railway Act 1989, an authorised railway employee can take the passenger’s ticket for checking during the journey. However, if the age and identity recorded in your ticket are different from the document, then questions may arise at the time of ticket checking. However, if the age is incorrect, how much money will be charged, and will Section 138 be applicable in that particular case? It depends on the circumstances of the case and the investigation conducted by the Railways.

What to do if there is a wrong edge in the ticket?

If you find any mistake in your age or any other information while booking a ticket, try to get it corrected by the Railways before the journey starts. This small mistake can lead to a big dispute during ticket checking.

Extra amount recovered from the passenger

At present, a post is being discussed a lot on social media X, where the passenger has claimed that at the time of booking the ticket, his age was 1 year instead of 24 years. According to the passenger, despite this mistake, he did not avail any fare discount. He also had a valid identity card.

The passenger said that Rs 7,035 extra was taken from him at the time of ticket checking, and it was recovered under the without ticket. This brings my total travel cost to Rs 10,624.05. Along with these details, the passenger said that even after entering the correct age, the basic fare of the ticket did not change, and he had a valid identity card. Despite these claims, on what basis has the extra amount been recovered?
