I am planning to travel in Chair Car train with my son who is 4 years old. As per the Indian railways, my son does not require a ticket and so the seat is not provided. It is difficult to carry him on the lap for 5 to 6 hrs since he is grown up and is heavy to carry that long. Is it ok if i book the ticket for him mentioning his age as 5 Yrs? Is this illegal? Is there any railway rule that prohibits booking a ticket for 4 yrs old? I mean the Indian Govt. might have left out the children from being charged due to economic considerations for the people but if i am paying for the seat and travelling shouldn't that be ok?
Anybody...
more... pointing to Indian Railways or pointing to the source of information will be appreciated.
