From 1st July 2012, all rail passengers travelling Air Condition Class (3A, 2A, 1A and CC) will have to pay additional fare of 3.6% (as service tax). Those who have already booked the ac class ticket will have to pay the difference amount during the journey.

Lets wait and see, nevertheless. When Service tax was introduced for business class travel a few years back, I remember reading about how the guys who booked earlier than the date of implementation, got away. Similarly, the increase in the service taxable component of the apartment which I had booked was wef April 1 (like July 1 for railways). If I had paid before April 1, I could have saved money. I followed this logic...
Collection of Rs 30-60-90 in change from eery customer would be a pain for the TTE railways. Why should the Railways do it as it does not go into their revenue. Secondly it could go on for 3-4 months depending on ARP. Imagine the TTEs armed with

A rise in railway fares, under the new service tax regime, was not effected from 1.7.12 due to a confusion over whether the railways had been exempted from it. It is expected that today confusion would be clear.
