No service tax on ticket booking via IRCTC till Dec 31
The Indian Railways on Tuesday waived the service tax on e-tickets and i-tickets booked via IRCTC's online website from November 23 to December 31 this year. This comes as an attempt to promote cashless economy, reports said. Earlier, PM Modi had said that schemes like Jan Dhan Yojana, Aadhaar, and demonetisation are steps towards becoming a cashless, corruption-free economy.
