The card pass issuing authorities should ensure tagging of all expired card passes in the system at the time of issuing fresh card pass to prevent misuse by the user. Further steps may be taken to conduct 100% inventory checks of all kinds of CCPs issued to non-Railway persons and to carry out suitable message/flags in the system wherever any misuse is suspected.
