When i was travelling from Rajahmundry to Bangalore in Seshadri Express(Train Number 17210) on 31/1/13, I was asked to pay an extra amount of Rs 55, though i have reserved II tier AC ticket which was booked on 21/1/13, when i inquired the reason behind the collection of Extra amount by TC is that Railway fares has been revised on 22/1/13 so, i was asked to pay an extra amount.

How can revised or increased prices are applicable to the ticket which was already booked and confirmed,I think this way of collecting money from Indian railways is unfair since some Passengers/Students may travel with minimum or budgeted amount,this type of unexpected expenses may trouble many passengers especially students.

I request Higher authorities to resolve this type of conflicts, if any increase or decrease in fair should be done before the confirmation of ticket and notice to be given to passenger before aboard of train/traveling.
