    The concessions vary between 10% and 100%, and the categories chosen include disabled passengers, senior citizens, awardees, war widows, students, youth, farmers, and sports-persons, among others.

    About the basis of calculation of concession; number of concessions
  • All concessional ticket fares are calculated on the basis of fares for mail/express trains, irrespective of the type of train (mail/express/passenger) by which a passenger travels.

    Concessions are admissible only on the base ticket price, and not on additional charges like super-fast surcharge, reservation fee, etc.

    Additionally, a passenger can only avail one type of concession at a time.

  • Break

  • Notably, a break of journey is not permitted on a concession ticket for a journey of specific purpose, e.g. a student traveling to/from an examination center.

    Such break of journey is allowed only if it's caused by a natural event.

    In addition, a concession ticket holder is not allowed to change to a higher class, even if they're ready to pay the fare hike.
