Bribe asked by a Railway TC
I had booked a night train ticket from Bangalore to Mumbai for me & my mother, it was in RAC during preparation of the chart. There were lot of cancellations/absentees in my compartment. One of the passenger had booked 2 tickets, but other person did not come, and he told me that the same seat can be used by me as he will not get any refund for cancellation at the last moment. As per rule, if any seats vacant from the reserved passengers available, should be given to those who are travelling in the same compartment with RAC status. I requested the TC to give that vacant seat or any seat for my mother. He asked bribe of Rs. 200. I refused to pay bribe because I had booked the ticket in advance by paying ticket price along with reservation fee. He brought passengers from 2nd class, took bribe and gave the berths to them. We were forced to sit whole night, just because we did not pay bribe. Indian Railways Shame on you! You are still following the old system. From which almost every TC is making more than Rs. 10000 per day.
