The Ministry of Railways has decided to upwardly revise the rate
of platform ticket to Rs.10/- per ticket from Rs.5/- per ticket. The revised
rate of platform ticket will be charged on platform ticket to be issued from
01.04.2015.
Directions have been
sent to All Zonal Railways to print the revised tickets on top priority and
ensure supply to all stations well in time. However, till such time the tickets
are printed, the existing stock of tickets may be used with the rate corrected
with a stamp. Wherever platform tickets are issued through SPTM & UTS or
other machines, their software may to be modified to collect the revised
rate.
Further, the Ministry
of Railways has delegated the power to Divisional Railway Managers (DRMs) to
increase the rate of platform tickets beyond Rs.10/- to regulate rush at
platforms during specific requirements like mela, rally etc.
