FAQs
Q.: How is the total train fare calculated?
A.: The total Indian Railways fare consists of several components: the Base Fare (determined by distance), Reservation Charges, Superfast Surcharge (for specific trains), and GST (applicable on AC classes). Our tool combines these to give you the final ticket price.
Q.: Does the fare change for Tatkal bookings?
A.: Yes, Tatkal fares are higher than general fares. They include a "Tatkal Charge," which is usually 10% of the base fare for second class and 30% for all other classes, subject to a minimum and maximum limit set by India Railways.
Q.: Are senior citizen concessions available in the fare enquiry?
A.: Currently, Indian Railways has suspended most concessions (including senior citizen) for regular trains. However, our tool displays the standard adult fare. It is recommended to check the official IRCTC portal for any newly reinstated special concessions.
Q.: What is Dynamic Pricing in railway tickets?
A.: Dynamic Pricing (or Flexi-Fare) applies to premium trains like Rajdhani, Duronto, and Shatabdi. As seats fill up, the base fare increases by 10% for every 10% of seats sold, up to a maximum limit. Our fare enquiry tool provides the current applicable rate.
Q.: Does the fare include food/catering charges?
A.: For premium trains like Vande Bharat and Shatabdi, catering charges are mandatory and included in the fare. For other trains, you have the option to opt-out of meals, which will reduce the total ticket price accordingly.
