SCR's ‘round trip package' at 20% discount
South Central Railway (SCR) has announced the launch of an experimental 'Round Trip Package' scheme by the Indian Railways to manage the festive season rush, offering discounted fares this year. This scheme is applicable to passengers who choose to book their return journey within a prescribed period. The discount will apply only when both onward and return journeys are booked together for the same set of passengers — with identical passenger details for both legs of the journey. Bookings under this scheme will open on August 14 for trains departing between October 13 and October 26. Return journey tickets can be booked using the connecting journey feature for travel dates between November 17 and December 1. Notably, the Advance Reservation Period (ARP) will not apply to return journey bookings under this scheme. This offer is valid only for confirmed tickets in both directions. A 20% rebate will be granted on the base fare of the return journey, provided the same class and the same originating and destination stations are maintained for both legs. There will be no refund for tickets purchased under this scheme. It is applicable to all classes and all trains, including special trains (trains on demand), but excludes trains with flexi fares. Additionally, no modifications will be allowed for either leg of the journey once booked. Concessional passes will not be admissible for return journey bookings under this scheme. Furthermore, both onward and return journey tickets must be booked using the same mode — either online or at reservation counters, according to a press release.
