Railway train travel set to get costlier! UDF between Rs10 to Rs40 may be slapped on ticket prices; This is how much you may have to pay

Railway train ticket price: Soon Railway train ticket booking and boarding trains from major big railway stations might get costlier. Railway may impose a user development fee on passengers booking train ticket from this month. If sources are to be believed User Development Fees (UDF) for taking trains from these stations might get central cabinet approval in December itself. The user fee (UDF) by Indian Railways will be in line with the UDF paid by air passengers.

As per Indian Railways sources, UDF will be implemented on rail fare at around 100 railway stations, including New Delhi, Mumbai, Nagpur, Indore and Chandigarh, in the first phase of the project.

“As per plan, No UDF will be charged on general tickets, while UDF will be higher on AC 1, lesser on AC 2 and similarly in that order on AC 3 & Sleeper class. Government may approve User Development Fees of Rs 10 to Rs 40, ranging on class of travel,” sources told Zee Business.
