What is the annual charge for a Concessional Local Pass at a fee plaza located outside a municipal or local town area?

  1. A.Rs 1,000
  2. B.Rs 1,500
  3. C.Rs 3,000
  4. D.Rs 5,000

Correct answer

B. Rs 1,500

Explanation

The correct answer is Rs 1,500. The charge is set by where the plaza stands: a plaza outside a municipal or local town area costs that much for a year, while a plaza inside those limits costs twice as much. Option C, Rs 3,000, is therefore the rate for the second category and not the first, and it is the trap most likely to be set in an examination. Options A and D are figures the notification does not use. The Central Government has kept the power to revise both rates once a year, and any revision will take effect from 1 April. Candidates should also link the two rates to the start date of 1 November 2026, when the pass becomes available at eligible toll plazas, and to 1 December 2026, when it also reaches the Rajmargyatra mobile application.

  2. B.The post will be notified separately from 2026 onwards
  3. C.The post will require a postgraduate degree
  4. D.The post will be recruited through a single zonal board
Show answer
Correct answer: B. The post will be notified separately from 2026 onwards

The Railway Board has decided that Station Master recruitment will no longer ride along with other graduate-level posts in a combined notice, so candidates now get a dedicated document setting out the eligibility conditions, the examination procedure and the board-wise distribution of vacancies for this post alone.
