✅ 4. Additional Notes

  • Rates shown include all taxes. IRCTC insists passengers request a cash memo if being overcharged.
  • Deluxe or premium meals (e.g. paneer+curd/sweet combos) may cost ₹180 or more, often served in Tejas, Vande Bharat, or tour trains.
  • E‑catering orders (via IRCTC Food on Track app) incur separate vendor rates as per restaurant menus—often higher than standard pantry meals.

🧭 Summary

  • Pantry meals onboard are priced affordably between ₹80–₹130 depending on the menu and class.
  • Mock‑deluxe veg meals with extras (paneer, sweets, etc.) cost up to ₹180 per passenger.
  • E‑catering options are varied, typically more elaborate, and priced by partner restaurants—not by IRCTC’s standard tariff.
