STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS
The problem of passengers travelling without tickets or with im- proper tickets on the railways has become more aggravated in recent years . A recent review of the incidence of ticketless and other types of irregular travel on the railways has revealed that , despite all possible efforts made during the last ten years to curb the evil , the position has deteriorated. The loss on this account to Govern- ment is estimated to be between rupees ten crores and rupees fifteen crores per annum .
2. Sections 112 and 113 of the Indian Railways Act , 1890 , contain provisions for punishment , and levy of excess charges , for travelling without tickets or passes or with insufficient tickets or passes . Ex- perience has shown that these provisions are not sufficient deterrents. It is therefore proposed to make the penalties by way of fine more stringent and to increase the minimum limits of excess charges . The Bill seeks to give effect to this proposal .
