Issue of base fare difference from 3A to 3E
The South Central Railway has issued a notice reminding passengers about the refund process for fare differences between 3A and 3E. Passengers holding system tickets have been approaching claims office for fare refunds due to traveling in a lower class for want of accommodation, unaware of the refund rules. The notice emphasizes the need for front line staff and on-board TTEs to educate passengers about the two-day window for claiming fare refunds at the destination station to avoid complaints.
