Effective July 1, 2026, Indian Railways has implemented stricter penalties under the Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions) Act, 2026, shifting many minor offenses from criminal prosecution to civil penalties.  The minimum fine for ticketless travel has doubled to ₹500 (plus applicable fare), replacing the previous ₹250 penalty. 

Key penalty changes include:

• Women’s Reserved Coaches: Men entering or occupying these areas face a ₹2,500 penalty and immediate removal; refusal to pay can lead to court fines up to ₹5,000.  Transgender persons are exempt from this specific provision.
• Misuse of Facilities & Unauthorized Hawking: Misusing railway accommodation or engaging in unauthorized hawking/begging attracts a penalty of up to ₹2,000. 
• Dangerous Travel: Traveling on train roofs, steps, or engines incurs a civil penalty of up to ₹2,000, up from the previous ₹500 fine. 
• Smoking & Nuisance: Smoking in trains or station premises carries a ₹2,000 fine, while creating a nuisance or using abusive language attracts a ₹1,000 penalty. 
• Prohibited Goods: Carrying dangerous or prohibited items can result in a minimum penalty of ₹10,000.

 

These measures aim to enhance passenger safety, ensure discipline, and recover revenue losses through increased financial deterrents rather than immediate criminal charges.  --- https://indianexpress.com/article/india/indian-railways-new-penalty-rules-2026-rs-2000-fine-for-smoking-hawking-and-begging-on-trains-10750453/
