Whom to contact
As per the railway rules, you can contact the TTE to upgrade your ticket while travelling in a train. You can request the TTE to upgrade your ticket by giving a valid reason for travelling further. After this, the TTE will issue you a new ticket, which will be considered valid for the further journey.
How much rent will have to be paid
You must know this important thing that the new ticket issued by the TTE for the next station will have a fare of only that much which should be the total fare from the starting station to the last station where you get down. Suppose the fare from Patna to Delhi is Rs. 2000 and you have paid Rs. 1200 for Lucknow, then you will have to pay only Rs. 800 more for the further journey. There will be no separate fee or any charge for this.

a difficulty may arise
Although this rule of the railways provides convenience to both reserved and general ticket holders, one problem that can arise for reserved ticket holders is that the TTE will upgrade your ticket for the next station only when there is a seat available in the train. On the other hand, you can upgrade the general ticket anytime. This means that those traveling on non-reserved tickets get more benefit from this rule.
