Train ticket benefit of insurance, if you are involved in an accident, you will get a hefty amount

New Delhi: The tragic accident of the Karmandal Express has shown how helpless people are to fate on the one hand, but on the other hand, they have opened their eyes to the benefits of railway insurance. Railway passengers can get insurance if they want. Again, at a reasonable cost. To be more precise, only 35 paise. Per capita. If the train gets involved in an accident, the passenger or his family will get compensation in case of death or injury.

It should be remembered that tickets cut from the railway counter on long-distance travel will not get the benefit of this insurance. This opportunity will be available from IRCTC only if you have to buy tickets online. The 35 paise that passengers will have to pay includes all taxes. However, insurance is not mandatory. A passenger can avail this facility only if he wants.
