In celebration of Eidul Fitr 2025, Pakistan Railways has announced a 20% fare reduction for all passenger trains to provide relief and convenience to travelers during the festive season.
According to an official notification, the fare concession will apply to all mail, express, and intercity trains managed by Pakistan Railways, valid for the three days of Eid. The discount will only be available on current bookings and will not be applicable for special trains running during the period.
