The GST will also be levied separately as earlier. In the earlier regime, when the service charge was waived off to boost digital payments mechanism, a charge of Rs. 20 was applicable in case of non-AC tickets and Rs. 40 for AC class tickets.
In a letter dated August 30, the Board had said the IRCTC, railways ticketing and tourism arm, had made a "detailed case" for the restoration of service charge on booking of e-ticket and the matter has been examined by the "competent authority".
After the waiver, the Indian railways saw a decline in revenue generation from ticket booking by 26% in the FY 2016-17.
