Looking for the current Eastern Railway train fare chart? This page gives you the full, up-to-date fare list for all trains running under Bangladesh Railway’s Eastern Zone, available as a downloadable PDF for easy reference before you book.
What Is the Eastern Railway Zone?
Bangladesh Railway divides its network into two operating zones: Eastern and Western. The Eastern Railway zone covers the broad-gauge and meter-gauge routes running east of the Jamuna River, including some of the busiest and most popular intercity corridors in the country, such as:
- Dhaka – Chattogram
- Dhaka – Sylhet
- Dhaka – Noakhali
- Dhaka – Chandpur
- Chattogram – Sylhet
- Chattogram – Cox’s Bazar
- Akhaura, Bhairab, Comilla, and other connecting routes
If your journey falls along any of these corridors, this Eastern Railway fare chart is the one you need — for Dhaka to Rajshahi, Khulna, or Dinajpur routes (Western Zone), check our separate Western Railway Train Fare page instead.
How Train Fares Are Structured
Bangladesh Railway sets fares based on a few key factors, which is why the price of a ticket can vary quite a bit even on the same train:
- Distance travelled — longer routes cost more, calculated per-kilometer based on the fare chart.
- Seat class — AC berth, AC seat, Snigdha, First Class, Shovan, and Shulov are all priced differently, with AC and berth classes costing the most. (See our Seat Information guide if you’re unsure which class fits your trip.)
- Train type — Mail, Express, and Intercity trains can carry slightly different fare structures even on the same route.
- VAT and other charges — published fares generally already include applicable VAT, but it’s worth checking the fine print in the fare list for any route-specific charges.
Because there are so many trains, routes, and seat class combinations across the Eastern Zone, listing every single fare directly on this page would be difficult to keep readable — so We’ve compiled the complete, official fare breakdown into one downloadable PDF below. To give you a quick starting point, though, here are the fares for some of the most-searched Eastern Zone routes.

Fares shown are VAT-inclusive, payable amounts. “N/A” means that class isn’t typically offered on that specific route. Budget-friendly non-AC options — Shovan, Shovan Chair, and S-Chair — are also available on all of these routes at a lower fare; see the full PDF below for those exact figures.
A note on accuracy: These figures are pulled from Bangladesh Railway’s official Eastern Zone fare chart. Fares are set by Bangladesh Railway and can be revised periodically, so treat this table as a helpful starting reference rather than a guarantee — always cross-check against the full PDF below or the latest official chart before finalizing a booking.
