Railway pass holders can upgrade class on Rajdhani, Shatabdi by paying difference

The Railway Board has clarified that holders of privilege passes, post-retirement complimentary passes and widow passes can travel in a class higher than their entitlement on premium trains such as Rajdhani, Duronto and Shatabdi Express by paying the applicable fare difference. The issue had been under consideration due to ambiguity in the Railway Servants (Pass) Rules, 1986.
