Playing phone audio on speaker in trains can bring a fine or jail term

Railway rules in India prohibit passengers from playing music, videos, or other audio on mobile phones through the speaker in public coaches. Violators can face a fine and, in some cases, imprisonment under the applicable railway regulations. Authorities have pointed to the disturbance such noise causes to fellow travellers as the reason for the restriction. Passengers are advised to use earphones or headphones instead to avoid penalties.
