The Vande Bharat Sleeper Express, starting service next week, will not provide Reservation Against Cancellation (RAC). Ticket prices for this train are slightly higher than those for other premium services like the Rajdhani Express. Passengers will pay the minimum fare for journeys up to 400 kilometers.
A circular from the Railway Board states, "The minimum chargeable distance will be 400 kilometers. Only confirmed tickets will be issued for this train. There will be no RAC, waiting list, or partially confirmed tickets. All berths will be available from the start of the Advance Reservation Period (ARP)."
Are these facilities removed for the Vande Bharat Sleeper?
