Rail is the only means through which crores of passengers travel from one place to another to their destination every day. We all have travelled by train at some time or the other. Anyway, the railway is called the life line of the country. It not only connects India from Kashmir to Kanyakumari but also works to take people to their destination. There is hardly anyone in India who has not enjoyed Indian Railways. There are many people who travel by buying tickets honestly, while many travel without tickets.
Indian Railways is counted among the fourth largest railways in the world
There is a simple rule of travelling in railways, travel only with a valid ticket. In such a situation, if those who travel without a ticket are caught, the TT charges them the fare as a penalty. While travelling in Indian Railways, counted among the fourth largest railways in the world, it often comes to mind that do railway employees also have to buy tickets? Do they also buy tickets or are they exempted from this because they are railway employees? Let us tell you that some people in the railways are also given the facility to travel without a ticket.
Any railway employee can travel without a ticket
Actually, according to the rules of the railways, any railway employee can travel without a ticket. For this, it is necessary that he has an official pass from the railways. It is not that any railway employee can travel without a ticket if he does not have a pass. Let us tell you that apart from the pass, railway employees are also given PTO (Privilege Ticket Order). Travelling on a PTO is not completely free, in this one has to pay only one-third of the ticket fare. Not only this, gazetted officers are given 6 passes in a year by the railways and after retirement they are given three passes in a year.
