renjithbkrishnan~ 1462 blog postsIs it possible to penalize a passenger boarding a reserved 2S coach in an Express train(say an Intercity Express), with an unreserved II class ticket (applicable to the same train for travel in Unreserved coach)?
If yes, what is the maximum amount that can be realized as fine?
Though the difference in fare was just the reservation charge, saw a TTE warning such passengers with fine upto Rs. 300/-. Hence just curious to know if such a fine is possible.

I travel in janmabhoomi exp Vskp SC in general sitting coaches reserved. Lot of unreserved travellers board the reserved coaches and all the corridors are filled. TTE checks the tickets and if someone is seated in reserved coach he collects rs 15 as reservation fee and gives an receipt and doesn't Ccollect any amount from standing travllers . Never saw TTE asking or warning fine of rs 300. I think its possible to collect as unreserved cannot travel in reserve coaches and are liable to be penalize fine.
Although it is a punishable offence, TTEs leave them as long as they don't occupy the seats. It is a common sight in daily ICEs of SCR like Janmabhoomi exp, Satavahana, Pinakini and Ratnachal.
In SBC-ERS Intercity express, there are lots of passengers who board from CBE, PGT bound towards ERS. Many a time the TTE hardly comes to check, but there have been few occasions wherein he has come to check and has taken additional reservation charge (Rs 25/Rs 30) and has also issued receipt for the same.
The amount being relatively small, passengers do end up paying
