Indian Railways — Premium tatkal

Address:

Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh

Boarding: SECUNDERABAD JN (SC)
Resv Upto: VISHAKAPATNAM (VSKP)
Quota: PREMIUM TATKAL (PT) Ticket Type: E-Ticket

The ticket rate being flashed on the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) website at the time of booking was Rs 1, 335/-

After I booked the ticket under the premium tatkal quota, I got an alert from my SBI account, which showed that Rs 2, 869.94/- had been debited. The fare had increased to Rs 2, 869.94/- without any notice.
And this amount is non refundable, which is a complete act of cheating by the indian railways.

I call it railway approved fraud. Please look into this matter.
The commuter books thinking s/he is paying the base fare but ends up paying the premium fare that railway calculates in some manner only it knows. This is unacceptable, "
