How is the train fare calculated?

Indian Railway fares are primarily based on the distance travelled and the class of accommodation. The total fare consists of several components:

  • Base Fare: The core price per kilometre for each class.
  • Reservation Charge: A fixed fee for booking a specific seat/berth.
  • Superfast Surcharge: Applied to trains designated as Superfast.
  • GST: 5% tax applicable only on AC classes (3AC, 2AC, 1AC, CC).

Budget Friendly

Sleeper (SL) and Second Sitting (2S) are the most economical options for long-distance travel.

Premium Travel

AC classes provide comfort and faster travel on premium trains like Rajdhani and Vande Bharat.
