Ministry of Railways Decides to Increase the Minimum Chargeable Fare
From Rs.5 to Rs.10 for Non Suburban Services Only to Make it at Par with
the Platform Ticket Charges
The Decision will be Effective from 20th November, 2015
The Move AIMS at Meeting the Objective of Controlling the Rush on Platforms for the Convenience of the Passengers
Ministry of Railways had in the last Budget revised the price of
Platform ticket from Rs.5 to Rs.10 with a view to control the rush on
platforms. However the objective could not be realised as passengers
started purchasing the minimum single journey second class tickets
priced at Rs.5 in lieu of the Platform ticket.
Therefore, Railways have now decided to increase the minimum
chargeable fare from Rs.5 to Rs.10.It will be effective from 20/11/2015
to make it at par with the Platform ticket charges. To begin with this
will be applicable only to Second class Non-suburban services only. It
is hoped that this step will bring down the rush on the platforms to
manageable levels.
