Railways to implement Flexi Fare system in Shatabdi, Rajdhani & Doronto trains

Railways has decided to implement Flexi Fare system in Rajdhani, Shatabdi and Duronto trains from tomorrow. An official release said, under the scheme, the base fares will increase by ten percent with every ten percent of berths sold, subject to a prescribed ceiling limit. Other supplementary charges like reservation charges, Superfast charge, Catering charges and Service tax will be levied separately. 

However,



there will be no change in the existing fare for 1AC and Executive class of travel in these trains. There will be no Premium Tatkal Quota in these trains. The present limit of berths set aside for Tatkal quota will be operated as per the existing guidelines. However, no additional Tatkal charges will be levied as the berths assigned under the quota will be booked at the rate of 1.5 times of the base fare for all classes.
