Minimum distance fare: Passengers will have to pay a fare equal to a minimum distance of 400 kilometres, even if their actual journey is less than this.

Quota Facility: Like other trains, special quota will be available for women, senior citizens and disabled people.

How much will the fare be?

It will be mandatory for passengers to pay fare for a distance of at least 400 kilometres, even if their journey is less than this. This train running between Guwahati-Howrah will have three categories. Which includes Third AC, Second AC and First AC.

The fare for third AC will be between Rs 2,300 and Rs 2,400 at the rate of Rs 2.4 per km. Similarly, the fare of second AC will be between Rs 3,000 to Rs 3,100 at the rate of Rs 3.1 per km. First AC fare will be between Rs 3,600 to Rs 3,800 at the rate of Rs 3.8 per km.
