* The above are tentative rates to be made effective from 25/6/2014.

Update : 24/6/2014

The Railways have partially rolled back the hike in rail fare for second class daily fares up to a distance of 80 km. In a press release on Tuesday, the Railways said there shall be no increase in second class suburban ordinary fare for the distance specified above. According to top-level railway officials, the railway ministry officials were busy trying to come to a formula by which the season pass fares for Mumbai could be rationalised. Officials also said that since the calculations are complex, the railway ministry would most probably defer the hike especially on suburban tickets till June 28. The monthly season tickets for both suburban and non-suburban shall now be charged at 14.2 percent over the existing rates rounded off as per extant instructions.

Update : 26/6/2014

Ministry of Railway modifies the passenger fare revision circular in connection with Monthly Season Tickets (MST) and Second Class Suburban Fare
       The circular for revision of passenger fares issued by Ministry of Railways that was to come into effect from 25th June, 2014 had among other things made a change in the way the fare for monthly season tickets (MSTs) was to be calculated.In the existing system, the MST is 17-15 times the value of a single journey ticket for the same distance slab whereas the circular indicated that MSR fare would be now equivalent to 30 single journey fare for the same distance slab.Inclusive of the 10% fare hike and 4.2% FAC, the new MST fares ranged 1.7 times to 3.5 times of the old MST fare.Despite the fact that MSTs are highly subsidized, Ministry of Railway has now decided to modify the fair revision circular and hence a decision has been taken to increase the cost of existing MST fare by o­nly 14.2% inclusive of FAC, i.e., the Monthly Season Tickets for both suburban and non-suburban shall now be charged at 14.2% over the existing rates rounded off as per extant instructions.

Further in the second class ordinary suburban single journey fares, it was noticed that upto a distance of 80 kms, there was increase in 3 of the slabs o­nly and because of rounding off, the increase was coming to more than 14.2%.  A view was therefore taken to avoid any hike in fares upto a distance of 80 kms.  Thus there is no change in fare for second class suburban travelers for a distance upto 80 kms.

In view of the above modifications, the revised fares in the unreserved segment shall come into force from 28thJune, 2014.  However, for reserved segment, the revised fares shall come into effect from 25th June, 2014 as notified earlier.
