Starting October 27, Indian Railways will introduce an optional travel insurance scheme for passengers purchasing reservation tickets. For a fee of 45 paise, travelers can secure an accident-related insurance coverage of up to 10 lakh rupees.
The initiative is designed to counter tickets and offer financial protection to passengers against untoward incidents during their journey. The scheme provides various payout structures depending on the severity of the accident-related incidents covered under the policy.
