Claim: Indian Railways charge full fare for even one-year-old children.
Fact-check: Indian Railways charge a full fare for children under five years only if a seat/berth is booked for them - FACTLY
Verdict: free journey is still allowed for any child below five years if no seat/berth is booked. however, if there is a need for separate berth/seat for the child, a full adult fare shall be charged. before march 2020, there is no option to book berth/seat for a child below five years. after march 2020, indian railways introduced an option to book seat/berth for children below five years. hence the claim made in the post is misleading.
