Older standard rates (for comparison):<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Tea\/Coffee<\/strong>: \u20b95<\/li>\n
  • Janta Meal<\/strong> (Pooris + Aloo + Pickle): \u20b915 (station) \/ \u20b920 (train)<\/li>\n

    3. Transparency & Passenger Rights<\/h2>\n
      \n
    • Mandatory<\/strong>: Display of menus and prices onboard is now enforced across all passenger trains. Printed menu cards must be available with catering staff, and rate lists are shown in pantry cars.<\/li>\n
    • Digital Access<\/strong>: Passengers also receive SMS alerts linking to the menu and tariff, with full menu details accessible via IRCTC\u2019s website.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n

      4. Passenger Experiences<\/h2>\n

      Here\u2019s a direct user perspective shared on Reddit:<\/p>\n

      “Regular meal comes at \u20b9120\u2013150 for non-veg, but if you want a standard meal with sweets and all, it will cost you \u20b9180.”<\/em>
      \n“IRCTC veg meal costs \u20b980 only\u2026 If they charge you more, insist on a bill.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

      This highlights occasional overcharging or unclear billing\u2014making it vital to request a receipt and refer to displayed menus when in doubt.<\/p>\n

      \n
