This rule has been implemented in those trains which have sleeping arrangements. This change was made by the Indian Railways so that passengers traveling long distances can travel comfortably. The time between 10 pm and 6 am is considered good for sleep.
Before the implementation of this rule, passengers used to complain that passengers sitting in the middle berth fall asleep early in the night and keep sleeping till late in the morning. This causes problems in sitting on the lower seat. Many times there is a dispute between passengers regarding this.
Passengers will not face any problem.
Now that the sleeping time has been fixed (Indian Railways rules changed), the passengers travelling will have to wake up by 6 am in any case. According to this rule, the passenger can keep the middle berth open only from 10 pm to 6 am.
Actually, if it remains open for a longer time, the passengers sitting on the lower berths face problems. Before or after this, you can stop the passenger from opening the seat and sleeping.
You must put down the middle seat at 6 am. You will also have to shift to the lower seat. If you do not do this, action can be taken against you.
According to the new rule, passengers with reserved tickets traveling on the lower seat cannot try to sleep on their seat before 10 am or after 6 am. If a passenger violates these rules, a complaint can be filed against the railways.
