A news is being claimed that the platform ticket price has now increased to Rs 50.
News Claim: In this age of social media, it has become a bit difficult to get factual information. Between different types of claims, it is not at all easy to decide which one is true. For the past few days, a similar claim is becoming increasingly viral on social media, in which it is being claimed that the platform ticket price has now increased to Rs 50. A tweet is becoming quite viral on social media.
It is being claimed in the tweet that the platform ticket was Rs 3 in the Congress government, which has increased to Rs 50 in the BJP government. Let's see what happened. A large number of people are retweeting and liking this tweet on social media. In such a situation, the question was arising in the minds of the people whether platform tickets have really become Rs 50.
News Verification: This claim has been clarified by PIB Fact Check. It has been said on behalf of PIB that in a tweet, a misleading claim is being made that the price of platform ticket of Indian Railways has gone up to Rs 50. But the truth is that the price of rail platform ticket is only 10 rupees. Keeping in view the possibility of congestion and accident in special circumstances, its price can be increased in the short term through DRM.In such a situation, PIB has termed this entire claim as misleading.
In another tweet from PIB, it has also been informed that in the year 2012, the price of railway platform ticket was increased from Rs.3 to Rs.5.

▶️ रेल प्लेटफार्म टिकट की कीमत ₹10 ही है
▶️ विशेष परिस्थितियों में भीड़ व दुर्घटना की आशंका को देखते हुए DRMs द्वारा अल्पकालिक तौर पर इसकी कीमत बढ़ाई जा सकती है pic.twitter.com/eJc3duCyNe
News Verdict: The price of railway platform ticket has not gone up to Rs 50. Rail platform ticket costs ₹10 only.
