Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation Limited (IRCTC) has decided to restore Convenience fee on e-tickets booked through its website. However, it has decided to reduce these charges as compared to old charges levied around 3 years back. The convenience fee will be charged at Rs 15/- per ticket for non-airconditioned class whereas it will be charged at Rs 30/- per ticket for AC class. This convenience fee will be charged from September 01, 2019.

Prior to November 2016, IRCTC used to collect a service charge of Rs 20 from non-AC Class and Rs 40 for AC class including first class. The service charges were withdrawn on November 26, 2016, to promote the digital payment transactions in the country.
