Meet Mumbai Ticket Inspector Rubina Akib Inamdar, Who Collected ₹45,000 in Fines in a Single Day
Mumbai – In a remarkable feat of ticket checking, Central Railway’s Travelling Ticket Inspector (TTI), Rubina Akib Inamdar, collected ₹45,705 in fines from 150 ticketless passengers in a single day. Her achievement has garnered widespread praise, with Central Railway lauding her efforts on social media.
Crackdown on Ticketless Travel
Ticketless travel remains a persistent issue on Mumbai’s suburban railway network, particularly in AC local and First Class compartments. Many commuters from general compartments often sneak into these reserved coaches, especially during peak hours, making it difficult for legitimate ticket holders to find a seat.
To combat this, Central and Western Railways have intensified ticket-checking drives, deploying inspectors across the network. On February 24, Rubina Akib Inamdar, from the Tejaswini 2 Batch, Mumbai Division, played a key role in this initiative. She caught 150 passengers without valid tickets, generating a record ₹45,705 in fines—₹16,430 of which came from 57 First Class violations alone.
Social Media Recognition
Central Railway celebrated her achievement on their official X (formerly Twitter) account, calling her performance “record-breaking” and praising her dedication to ensuring ticket compliance.
“Record-breaking single-day performance in ticket checking. Congrats to Rubina Akib Inamdar, (TTI) Travelling Ticket Inspector, Tejaswini 2 Batch, Mumbai Division. Today, she detected a total of 150 irregular/without-ticket cases, generating ₹45,705 in ticket checking revenue, including ₹16,430 from 57 without-ticket cases in First Class. A truly outstanding single-day performance.”
Several social media users also applauded her efficiency, with one post calling her efforts a significant step toward maintaining discipline and revenue integrity on Mumbai’s rail network.
Impact of Ticket-Checking Drives
Railway authorities have been conducting frequent ticket-checking campaigns to curb unauthorized travel. The efforts appear to be yielding results, as the number of ticketless passengers is steadily decreasing.
With inspectors like Rubina Akib Inamdar setting new benchmarks, the railway administration remains committed to ensuring that only valid ticket holders use reserved compartments, thereby improving the overall travel experience for Mumbai’s daily commuters.
