Railway Department is proposed to start a brand new website for online ticket booking. The new website is likely to be in operation with in a moth. Operational / maintenance responsibilities of the proposed new site have been taken up by SBI. Presently, IRCTC (www.irctc.co.in) is the sole seller of online tickets for Indian Railways.

1. Reservation Charge for Sleeper Class Seat: Rs. 5
