It would not affect your chances of getting job
2) you should mention that you had paid fine for crossing railway tracks
Railway fines and Attestation Form
I was fined Rs. 340 by Police at a Railway Station for crossing the Railway Tracks. I was made to sign some papers and they took my name, father's name, contact and local police station name. An entry was made in the Police Diary as well with my contact. However, I did not get the receipt and paid at the Police Unit on the station itself. Now I am in a dilemma as what to do with the Attestation Form for Government Jobs. The questionnaire in the Self declaration attestation form goes like this : 12 (1) a) Have you ever been arrested? Yes/No b) Have you ever been prosecuted? Yes/No c) Have you ever been kept under detention? Yes/No d) Have you ever been bouned down? Yes/No e) Have you ever been fined by a Court of Law? Yes/No f) Have you ever been convicted by a Court of Law for any offence? Yes/No What will be the answers to these questions so that I am not caught due to suppression of information? Will there be any impact to my chances of landing a Government Job? Please help.

- As per section 147 of Indian Railways Act, Trespassing across railway tracks is punishable offence.
- Further , the trespasser will have to pay fine upto Rs.1000/- , or may sent to jail for 6 months.
a) NO , because you have paid fine and not arrested for the said offence .
b) No, same as above
c) No, same as above
d) No, same as above
e) No, as you have paid this amount before police and not before the court .
- But, if you was produced before the court , and on the direction/order of the court , you have paid the fine , then mention Yes for crossing of railway. Otherwise No.
f) No
Good luck and dont forget to rating Positively.
1. You should answer no on all the above stated questions as you were never arrested or detained by police and it was a petty offence punishable with fine only without producing before court.
2. No it will not have adverse effect on your chances for getting govt job.

No impact on job.
No it's only fined so you don't worry. You can write no in all the section
This is a petty case and the records will be with the railway police itself.
They also may not keep the records of such petty offences beyond certain period.
Hence the police verification at a later stage of the employment would not cover the railway police.
The petty offences need not be mentioned in the application form
You can write NO as answer to all questions, nothing will happen.

1. See it was a simple fine there was no arrest ,no prosecution , no detention , also the fine was of central authority and police no conviction so you can put a No for answer.
2. You can answer in negative.
These questions should be answered in the negative. You were only fined like traffic fines. Don't worry.
The answers should be no.
Dear Sir/madam,
The clear answer to all of these questions is no, because the said questions are not applicable to the offence which you fear as to committed. That was a mistake by you and you were fined but no such entry is made in any record for your arrest, prosecution, detention etc. Also, RPF has other kinds of powers and different from normal police.
The answers would be in negative in all these questions.
1. You were temporarily detained and fined. This does NOT legally amount to Arrest or Prosecution or Punishment, unless & until you were arrested & produced before a Railway Court, taken Bond and Fined.
2. You are advised to safely & categorically state "NO" to all the questions for your Govt. Job, more so since there is no documentary evidence of your Arrest or Prosecution in Court case.
Hi
1. No
2. No
3. No
4. No
5. No (fined by police, not by court, so answer is no)
6. No
All are no.....you were just caught by police and fined by them. You did`t face any criminal trial against you. So all the answers here are no.
Thanks
As desired, the answers to your query are as under:
a) No.
b) Yes
c) No.
d) No.
e) No.
f) No.
The above will not affect your chances of getting the Job, for the simple reason that, you were not detained, arrested or convicted. You need not worry.
Your answer should be 'NO', for each of the above questions. The Railway Police fined you, and not any Court; hence your answer to question no. 'e' should also be a 'no'
Hello,
All the answers of your question will be NO.
Regards
Dear Sir,
Non disclosure of conviction in minor offences like traffic offences, railway offenses and other offence is not a substantial offence and not regular trial is held so supreme court says as follow. You should not disclose, nothing will happen. You will be safe.

1. This was a prosecution in which you admitted your guilt and therefore you were fined. You had the option of refusing to pay fine on the spot and facing the trial.
2. The answer to all questions, except question no. 'd)' has to be in affirmative, whereas for question no.d you may answer it in negative if you were not made to sign a bond to not to repeat the offence again.
