Reduction in servicing fees
The service fees for food and beverages have been reduced by the railways. Tea costs ₹20 on premium trains including the Shatabdi, Rajdhani, and Duronto, among others. The person who had ordered the lunch in advance simply had to pay ₹20. However, the person who requested it on the train had to pay an extra ₹50. This means that a tea that cost ₹20 earlier would have cost ₹70 if ordered on the train. The dinners experienced the same issue. A further ₹50 was required if the meals were not arranged in advance.
Price increases for meals cover all costs
Breakfast, lunch, and evening snacks were formerly priced at ₹105, ₹185, and ₹90, respectively, and each meal also came with a separate ₹50 fee. However, with the service charge added to the price of the meal, the passengers will now have to spend ₹155, ₹235, and ₹140 respectively for these meals.
“Only the prices of tea and coffee will change as a result of the absence of the service charge. In this, a passenger who hasn’t made a reservation will pay the same price as one who has. However, the cost of meals at unreserved facilities has now included the service charge price for all other meals “official explanation
