2. Historical Reference and Bundled Packaging
- As per RBA-styled menus (circa 2025), items included breakfast (₹25–30), casseroles (₹45–55), and standard beverages like tea (₹5–7) and water.
- Older IRCTC standards (compiled in PDFs) also list breakfast meals in the ₹20–35 range and rearranged pricing tiers depending on meal type and composition.
3. User Experiences & Variations
Travelers have noted occasional discrepancies in actual pricing—for example, a paneer-based meal (inclusive of curry, rice, extra sabzi, sweet, etc.) being charged as much as ₹180 during late 2024–2025, up from earlier ₹120–150.

Tips for Travelers
- Always ask for a bill—IRCTC mandates displaying menu rates and issuing cash memos.
- Stick to officially posted menus; any marked price above the printed rate should be questioned.
- For special routes or trains (like Tejas / Vande Bharat), refer to IRCTC’s a-la-carte menus for up-to-date pricing.
