Can someone let me know what is cheaper for the government. Online reservation from irctc or PRS counters . Always wonder why PRS charges just the fare while cost incurred includes building electricity human costs. While irctc just needs servers cum administrator which are also used by PRS while it is the online users who pay a heavy service costs. An AC ticket is 57 extra (45+12) while sleeper is (23+11) 34. Is this how they promote Digital India.
