New Delhi. People make reservations before the scheduled time for a comfortable journey by train. Some of these passengers are not able to travel and later cancel their tickets. On cancellation of tickets, the railways do not refund the full amount.

That is, you get back less money than the amount for which the reservation was made. What are these charges that the railways do not refund to you and what is the reason for this? 99.99 percent of people will not know. Let’s find out-

Dilip Kumar, Executive Director Information and Publicity of Railway Board, says that apart from the train fare, reservation charge, superfast charge and GST are included in the payment for reservation. On cancellation of the ticket, the railway refunds you only the train fare. The reservation charges and GST taken from you are not refundable. Dilip Kumar says that the reservation charge is taken from you in exchange for the facility, hence it is not refundable. Apart from this, superfast charges are also taken.

What is superfast charge?

There are two types of trains running in Indian Railways, first is superfast and second is passenger and local trains. Reservations are made by passengers travelling long distances which are superfast, while passenger trains run for short distances and stop at all the stations on the way. Therefore, superfast charges are not levied on reservations in these trains.

What is the reservation charge in which class

Reservation charges vary according to the class. Rs 15 is charged for second class, Rs 20 for sleeper, Rs 40 for AC chair car, AC economy and AC third, Rs 50 for AC second and Rs 60 for AC first and executive class. If you have made a reservation in first AC and cancel it, then Rs 60 and GST will not be refunded.
