An official release said, under the scheme, the base fares will increase by ten percent with every ten percent of berths sold, subject to a prescribed ceiling limit. Other supplementary charges like reservation charges, Superfast charge, Catering charges and Service tax will be levied separately. <br/><br/>However, there will be no change in the existing fare for 1AC and Executive class of travel in these trains. There will be no Premium Tatkal Quota in these trains. The present limit of berths set aside for Tatkal quota will be operated as per the existing guidelines. However, no additional Tatkal charges will be levied as the berths assigned under the quota will be booked at the rate of 1.5 times of the base fare for all classes.<br/><br/>Meanwhile Congress has demanded rollback of Flexi Fare system <br/>to be introduced in Rajdhani, Shatabdi and Duronto trains. The scheme will be implemented from tomorrow. Party spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala said, the decision will put Railways out of the reach of common man. Mr Surjewala termed the decision as unprecedented by the present government. He alleged that the Government has been single mindedly pursuing the agenda of privatizing Railways.
