Convenience Fee on Railways e-Tickets

Convenience Fee on Railways e-Tickets

At present, there is no proposal to reconsider the decision of introducing convenience fee on e-tickets. Even after the levying of the convenience fee, online ticketing through IRCTC has continued its upward trend and it presently constitutes about 72% of total reserved tickets booked on Indian Railways.

Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) levies service charge as per market conditions since the introduction of online ticketing facility over Indian Railways in 2002. In order to incentivize digital payments, the aforesaid service charges were temporarily withdrawn in November, 2016.

However, IRCTC incurs substantial expenditure on providing online ticketing facility. Further, many initiatives like Alternate Train Accommodation Scheme ‘VIKALP’, Artificial Intelligence based Passenger Name Record (PNR) confirmation predictor etc. have been introduced on the IRCTC website to enhance passenger convenience and user-experience.

In order to defray the cost incurred in maintenance, upgradation and expansion of ticketing infrastructure, a convenience fee of Rs. 15/- + GST per ticket for Non-AC Classes and Rs. 30/- + GST per ticket for AC Classes is being levied by IRCTC w.e.f. 01.09.2019.

The online ticket booking facility provided by IRCTC is one of the most passenger friendly initiative of Indian Railways. Even after the levying of the convenience fee, online ticketing through IRCTC has continued its upward trend and it presently constitutes about 72% of total reserved tickets booked on Indian Railways.

At present, there is no proposal to reconsider the decision of introducing convenience fee on e-tickets.

This information was given by the Minister of Railways and Commerce & Industry, Shri Piyush Goyal in a written reply to a question in Rajya Sabha today.
