Cuts in TATKAL Fares and change in rules.
>> Tuesday, August 25, 2009
Now forget paying extra for the "end-to-end" journey and different charges peak and non peak period.
The good news has come for all the railway travellers about the TATKAL System of Indian Railways. The charges of Tatkal (immediate) tickets will come down by 10% of the basic fare for second class and 30% for basic fare for other classes from October 1. And you will have no need to pay "end-to-end" fare (from origin to end destination of a train). Just pay for the actual distance travelled by you. Also, there will be no different charges for peak and no peak period. There will be a uniform fare.
