Tickets booked under existing booking will be sold at the highest price for that class and all other supplementary charges like super fast charges, service tax, catering charges, reservation fee, etc. as applicable will be charged in full.

The info regarding the hiked ticket price is displayed to the passenger at the time of booking in case the lower class fare becomes higher than the upper class to opt travel in higher class. The least price of tickets for each class for a particular train will be printed in the reservation chart. This serves the purpose of charging the passengers in the train without a valid ticket and charging the difference in fares in the train etc. however. The government hasn’t made any changes in the existing refund policy.
