Charges for booking railway tickets using credit cards

Sir,

Bank charges for booking railway tickets using their credit card. As per IRCTC they charge extra Rs.30/- per ticket if tickets are booked using credit cards.

As per rules, no other than authorised agents of Railway are authorised to charge any extra amount for offering service for booking tickets. Further, Banks do not book tickets, but cardholder himself books the tickets at the ticket counters.

Secondly, as per credit card rules, if amount is not paid within duedates interest is charged for outstanding amount, but this is not observed in railway booking. If same card is utilised for other purchases extra amount is not charged.

It is cleared from above that railway is not authourised to charge any extra amount than what is printed plus Rs.30/- i.e. charges of IRCTC per ticket. Therefore it is requested to the authorities to instruct bank not to loot public by charging extra on usage of credit cards for any transactions

J.B.SHAH

note

This charges are not reimbursed under LTC scheme as they are not charged under any MOU between railways and bank.
