This has caught the attention of many now. It is worthy to mention that board order issued on 13th of August 2018 increased the service changes for season tickets renewal and for purchasing unreserved tickets at bonafide private counters. The board order did not increase the security deposit. The profit of the private ticket counters in India would be doubled due to additional service charges collected from the passengers.

According to the order it is clear that JTBS operators are allowed to renew season tickets after realising service charge of Rs 5 per ticket.
