Ticketless Travel Reports

Reporting: Reports of ticketless travel are to be submitted to the Railway Board within 20 days of the end of the month.
Passenger Detection: Data on passengers travelling without or with improper tickets, and the collected amounts, is recorded. This includes passengers travelling without a ticket, those with excess charges, cases of unbooked luggage, and non-penalty cases. Specific details include the number of passengers and the amounts collected for each category. This data should differentiate between fare and excess charges for each category.
Type of Irregularities: Data includes passengers travelling without a ticket, passengers violating higher excess charge rules, unbooked luggage cases, and non-penalty cases.
Collection of Data: Data on the number of passengers and amounts collected for each type of irregularity are required, including fare and excess charge amounts. The report should categorize data by these types of irregularities.
Magisterial Checks: Total number of magisterial checks and checks conducted by specific HQ/Division Flying Squad (separate from HQ/Division checks) are recorded separately.
Types of Checks: Data on various types of checks are collected–mid-section, massive, spot, fortress, and ambush checks–along with the number of trains checked.
