Railways announce fare rationalisation from July 1 after five-year gap

The ministry officials had earlier on June 24 indicated the proposed fare revision.

However, the official circular with fare table according to trains and classes categories was released on Monday.

The fares of suburban trains and monthly season tickets have been left unchanged in the interest of daily commuters.

Ordinary second class fare has not been increased for up to 500 kms and for distances beyond that, there is an increase in the ticket prices by half paisa per km.
