      Thanks for visiting https://railwayrule.com
      Complimentary passes on Railways are issued to Sports awardees, Freedom Fighters & Gallantry Awardees.
      From query it is not clear which type of complimentary pass is issued in your favour.
      Freedom Fighters & Gallantry Awardees are entitled to travel in Duronto express as well.
      Please stay connected with https://railwayrule.com for more updates.

    महोदय,
    मैं Sr. ALP के पद पर 6 जुलाई 2020 से कार्यरत हूँ।
    1. क्या मुझे 1st क्लास पास मिल सकता है ?
    2.मैं 1 सेट पास के लिए एलिजिबल हूं अतः 1 सेट पास लिया हु लेकिन मैं ने उसका उपयोग नही किया अगर मैं इस पास को 5 महीने के अन्दर कैंसिल करना चाहू तो क्या मेरा बैलेंस बरकरार रहेगा या नही?
    कृपया मेरे बातो का समाधान कर उस से संबंधित नियम बताने का कृपा करें🙏

    Travel Entitlement for Duty, Privilege & PRC Passes (Annexure-I to RBE 16/2019) doesn’t include AC Chair Car (CC) in Mail/Express and Rajdhani/Duronto Express type trains. As a fallout of this, “CC” class in these 2 type of trains is not made available to employees and ex employees, holding E-passes & E-PTOs.
    Please resolve.
