On Monday, the commercial branch of railways, in reply to a passenger who complained that the signature column was missing in season tickets, stated that all booking clerks had been advised to tell the passengers that signature should be affixed on the flip side of season tickets On September 20, K Baskar, member of Chennai Divisional Rail Users Consultative Committee (DRUCC). complained to Southern Railway that the signature column was missing in season tickets. Under railway rules, a season ticket holder should affix his/her signature in the ticket. If the signature is not found, the travelling ticket examiner is at liberty to declare the season ticket invalid and penalize the passenger for travelling without a ticket.
“Most passengers are unable to sign because of the issue. During checking, they are forced to pay penalty. This leads to arguments between both parties,” he said in a letter to the zonal railway. He requested the railways to allow passengers to print a ‘holders signature’ at the bottom of UTS tickets.
