Passengers to be compensated for delay in Tejas New Delhi, October 1 Passengers of IRCTC’s Delhi- Lucknow Tejas Express will be compensated in case of delays, the Railway subsidiary said on Tuesday, announcing a first-of-its-kind offer from any national carrier. An amount of Rs 100 will be paid in case the delay is for over an hour and Rs 250 for delay of over two hours, the IRCTC said ahead of the launch of its first train. This latest offer is in addition to the Rs 25-lakh free insurance that will be given to passengers. This travel insurance also includes a Rs 1-lakh cover against theft and robbery dur- ing travel period of the pas- sengers, again a first for those travelling on board trains. The train will be flagged off on October 4. Many countries over the globe compensate passen- gers for delays - some do so as monetary compensation and some in kind. In countries like Japan and cities like Paris, a delay certifi- cate is issued to passengers by railway companies as proof that a train arrived at a station later than stated in the company’s scheduled timetable which can be shown in schools or offices for late admission at university exams. The certificate is issued when delays as little as five minutes occur. In the UK, rail passengers are entitled to get automatic compensation for delayed journeys. It is, howev- er, not clear how IRCTC will calculate the compensation amount or disburse it. — PTI
