Revision
of Platform Ticket Rates at Railway Stations
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.
