OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Subject: Clarification regarding admissibility of flexi-fare in Shatabdi/Rajdhani/Duronto
trains while availing LTC.
As per Railway Board's Circular No. 46 of 2016 dated 07.09.2016, Ministry of
Railways have introduced a flexi-fare system in Rajdhani/Shatabdi/Duronto trains, where the
base fares will increase by 10% with every 10% of berths sold subject to a prescribed ceiling
limit. In this regard, this Department is in receipt of references from various segments seeking
clarification on the issue of admissibility of flexi-fare while booking the tickets of these trains for
the purpose of LTC.
2. The matter has been examined in consultation with Department of Expenditure,
Ministry of Finance and it has been decided that flexi fare (dynamic fare) applicable in
Rajdhani/Shatabdi/Duronto trains shall be admissible for the journey(s) performed by these
trains on LTC. This dynamic fare component shall not be admissible in cases where a non entitled
Government servant travels by air and claims reimbursement for the entitled class of
Rajdhani/Shatabdi/Duronto trains. Such Government servants will get reimbursement of fare
after deducting the dynamic fare component.
3. The above decision shall be applicable retrospectively with effect from 9th September,
2016, i.e. the date from which flexi-fare system was introduced by Railways.
4.
Hindi version will follow.
