Those who have lost money due to trains running late will get compensation. Many people are unaware of this and are confused. Passengers can approach the Consumer Rights Forum and get compensation from the Railways by showing a suitable reason. Here are 9 important points related to this.

 

Passengers should travel in a reserved coach by making a ticket reservation. This option is not available to those travelling with a general ticket.

 

Only if the train is delayed by more than three hours, passengers have the option to file a case.

 

If the railway department informs the passenger about the reasons for the train delay in advance or at the same time, there is no chance of making any claim.

 

Due to changes in the weather, the train speed decreases and the journey is delayed. Then a message is received on the passenger's cell phone.

 

At such times, even if the passenger approaches the consumer rights forum, it will not be effective.

 

If the reason is not given, the case can be filed in the forum either through a lawyer or directly.

 

While filing the case, the train ticket should be submitted as evidence.

 

If the train is delayed due to train accidents, storms, or other reasons, a special counter is set up and the ticket money is refunded. Even if the payment is not made, the forum can be approached.

 

Recently, a passenger was going to Delhi in a reservation coach. The train was delayed. Due to this, he suffered losses. The passenger approached the consumer rights forum. He won the case. The Railways paid him a compensation of 60 thousand rupees.
