"With a view to optimize utilization of accommodation in trains, Ministry of Railways has decided to delegate powers to Zonal Railways to introduce discounted fare scheme in trains with AC sitting accommodation, subject to terms and conditions," a press release from the government read.
In the release, the Ministry of Railways further explained that the discount of up to 25% would be applicable on routes that have low-occupancy. "Train having classes with occupancy less than 50% (either end to end or in some specified legs/sections) during the last 30 days shall be taken into consideration," the release said.
The Ministry also clarified that the discount would be on the base fare, while other surcharges - including reservation charge, Super fast surcharge, GST, etc. - would still apply post the discount.
"Such discount shall be initially implemented for a period as decided by PCCMs of the zones corresponding to the originating station of the train, subject to a maximum of six months for the journey dates from when it is implemented. Discounted fare may be given for the entire duration or part duration or month wise or seasonal or for week days/ weekends based on demand pattern of the aforementioned period," said the Ministry.
