Fines for unauthorized travel have increased significantly. A total of 13.47 lakh cases were detected during a five-month period, resulting in a substantial amount of fines being collected. The crackdown on unbooked luggage and ticketless passengers has led to a notable rise in penalty payments.

A large number of violations were recorded in a single month, with 2.13 lakh cases detected. This resulted in a significant fine recovery of ₹17.16 crore. Further details on the breakdown of these cases are available.

The scale of ticketless travel is a continuing challenge, with efforts being made to ensure that passengers pay for services used.
