In this regard unused portion on Pass is illustrated below:-

On Pass issued for journey from Stations A to D with break journeys at Stations B & C, journey was performed only from Station A to B. The unused portions in such case are from Stations B to C and C to D.

2.. In this context, attention is invited to Para-2 of Board’s letter referred to above which categorically stipulates that extension of validity should be granted on all unused Passes/PTOs upto 30.09.2021.

Considering the instructions issued vide Board’s letter ibid and also in order to follow uniformity with E-Passes, the validity of Physical Passes should also be extended similarly. Accordingly, PIAs may be advised to take-necessary action to revalidate the partly used Physical Passes also upto 30.09.2021, if not already. done.
