Hyderabad Metro Stops Passenger Carrying Rs. 3.5 Lakh Cash
Hyderabad, Oct. 1: A passenger at Jubilee Hills Checkpost Metro Station faced an unexpected hurdle on Wednesday when he was stopped for carrying large amounts of cash. Security checks revealed that the commuter was in possession of Rs. 3.5 lakh, exceeding the permissible limit allowed inside the metro.
Metro security officials stated that the individual was informed about the restriction and was not permitted to travel. According to officials, passengers are allowed to carry cash up to Rs. 2 lakh in compliance with Reserve Bank of India (RBI) regulations. Carrying an amount above this limit inside metro stations is not permitted.
Metro regulations and RBI cash carrying rules
Hyderabad Metro authorities have reiterated that security personnel are mandated to strictly follow RBI guidelines. The restriction aims to prevent misuse of cash movement and ensure transparency during financial transactions. Passengers carrying amounts beyond the permissible limit are directed to return without boarding the train.
Officials clarified that while there is no restriction on carrying legitimate cash within legal limits, passengers need to remain aware of RBI rules and metro security protocols to avoid inconvenience.
Passenger awareness and security checks in Hyderabad Metro
Incidents of passengers being stopped for excess cash are rare, but metro authorities said that awareness about such financial rules remains low.
The metro administration urged passengers to check RBI guidelines before carrying large sums of money while using public transport.
The Hyderabad Metro Rail has intensified its security checks in view of upcoming festive season rush.
Officials emphasized that rules will continue to be applied uniformly to all commuters without exceptions.
