Indian Railways Rules: New Indian Railways rules—carrying such items on trains will attract a fine of ₹10,000..

Indian Railways has tightened regulations under the 'Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions) Act,' raising the fine for carrying dangerous and prohibited items to ₹10,000. Additionally, fines for various other offenses have been significantly increased to prioritize passenger safety and convenience. These changes were implemented under the Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions) Act, which amended Section 165 of the Railways Act; the Ministry of Railways has issued an official notification regarding this. Section 165 of the Railways Act deals with instances where a person carries dangerous or objectionable items on a train in violation of the rules—specifically, violations related to Section 67.

Previously, the fine for such offenses was capped at ₹500, but it has now been raised to ₹10,000. Furthermore, if such items cause any damage, injury, or accident, the individual responsible will be held liable for the consequences. Railways states that the objective of this stricter policy is to enhance passenger safety and curb incidents involving the transport of dangerous goods on trains. Passengers are advised to adhere to railway regulations during their journeys and avoid carrying any prohibited items to prevent incurring heavy fines.
