It seems rumour mills are working overtime as couple of days ago, there were reports that Indian Railways will charge for train tickets of kids below 5 years age.
Is Indian Railways planning to shut down all tickets counters where travellers can physically book tickets? The national transporter has rubbished the reports being circulated in some section of media claiming that the Indian Railways is planning to do away with the train reservation counters. “It is informed that no such action has been taken by the railways and that there is no such proposal under consideration,” West Central Railway tweeted. Train ticket booking continues to be done via both online and offline mode.

It seems rumour mills are working overtime as couple of days ago, there were reports that Indian Railways will charge for train tickets of kids below 5 years age. Railways said that this claim is misleading and it has not changed any current rule for booking train tickets for kids under 5 years of age. They can travel for free with their parents. However if parents want separate berth for them, they can book it at the existing train ticket price.
