Скачать или смотреть Indian Railways charge GST on your Railway Tickets

Indian Railways applies Goods and Services Tax (GST) on train tickets based on the class of travel. If you book an AC class or First Class ticket—like 1A, 2A, 3A, AC Chair Car, or Executive Class—you’ll pay a 5% GST on the base fare, whether you book online through IRCTC or at the station. However, non-AC classes such as Sleeper, Second Sitting (2S), and General Class are completely exempt from GST, making travel more affordable for the masses[1][2].

For premium trains like Shatabdi, Rajdhani, and Duronto, the 5% GST applies to all classes, including non-AC[2].

When you book online, the GST is automatically calculated and included in your ticket price. You’ll also receive a GST-compliant invoice, which is useful for business travelers to claim input tax credit[1][2].

*Key Points:*
5% GST is charged on AC and First Class train tickets.
Sleeper, Second Sitting, and General Class tickets are exempt from GST.
GST applies to the cancellation fee for AC and First Class tickets, but not for non-AC classes.
IRCTC’s convenience fee for online bookings is subject to 18% GST[2].
Always check your fare breakdown for the latest GST details before booking.
