Indian Railways rationalizes passenger fare structure; new rates effective December 26
RNE Network.
The Railways has rationalised its passenger fare structure with effect from Friday, aiming to balance affordability for passengers with the sustainability of operations.
Under the revised fare structure, there is no change in fares for suburban services and Season Tickets, including both suburban and non-suburban routes.
The revised fares are applicable only on tickets booked on or after December 26.
Tickets booked before this date will not attract any additional charges, even if the journey is undertaken after the effective date.
For Ordinary Non-AC (Non-Suburban) services, fares have been rationalised in a graded manner across Second Class Ordinary, Sleeper Class Ordinary, and First Class Ordinary.
In Second Class Ordinary, there is no increase in fare for journeys up to 215 kilometres, ensuring that short-distance and daily commuters are not impacted.
