IRCTC Food Bill GST

IRCTC has always been making headlines for various reasons all over the internet. Most of the time social media is flooded with complaints about their services which majorly includes the food served by them. There have been a lot of cases where the passengers shared their grievances on Twitter and the complaints were addressed by Railway Seva, the Railway support account.

When it comes to train travel, food is an important factor to consider during the journey. Sometimes accessibility of food is limited or few passengers refrain from eating outside food. Railway catering services make it easier for passengers to have the meal of their choice on the train. The Railway catering services have both vegetarian and non-veg options for the travelers.
