No half fares for children in the age under 12 and above 5 in reserved class if a berth is sought for the children. Passengers now need to pay full charges of adult fare if a berth is sought for children.
In addition if berth is not required then half fares continue to be applicable in reserved class.

Only in India we follow this system of half rate and concessions. But looking at the social dynamics, I feel only SL class should have been spared and all other classes should be collected full fare. Also many would buy half fare ticket to save money and SL class would be the worst among all classes where overcrowding is a problem.
