Indian Railways: The Ministry of Railways has given great relief to the passengers traveling by train. It has been decided to reduce the fare of Vande Bharat train and AC chair car train. In order to allow more passengers to travel in the train, the Ministry of Railways will provide relaxation in the fare of trains with AC seating. For relief, the Ministry will hand over power to Zonal Railways.
How much will the rent be reduced?
After this decision of the Ministry of Railways, the AC chair car, executive class fares of all trains including Vande Bharat will be reduced by 25 percent. The scheme will be applicable in executive class of all AC seating trains including AC chair cars and Abhuti and Vistadome coaches. There will be a maximum discount of up to 25 percent on fares. On the other hand, other charges like reservation charge, super fast surcharge, GST etc., whatever they may be, will be charged separately. Also relaxation will be given according to the category. Trains with 50 percent occupancy during the last 30 days will be considered. After this, fare relaxation will be given in these trains based on occupancy.
