Indian Railways
Penalty charged

Sir,

I went to visit my sister at

Rajkot and had given money to an authorised rail ticket booking agent to book my return tickets by navajeevan express for my wife, daughter and self for 8.10.2011. My agent booked the tickets for me in tatkal seva. i started my journey on the given date. near surat, one ticket collector saw my ticket and asked me to show identity proof, i produced my all india driving licence in original as proof, my wife and 8 year old daughter had no proof. So the ticket checker, charged Rs.2500/- towards penalty and defaced the ticket with remarks tickless travel. he further said that if i did not pay him he will push me to the unreserved coach. now i do not find any force in his argument, i had no option but to pay him the money. as per rules only one family member should have his identity proof. is this collection legal? He further challenged me that i can go to any forum but will not succeed. please help.

my e-mail address is :

Thanking you

yours sincerely
