Why not partial refund to train travelers with RAC tickets?

The Issue

Thousands of train tickets all around India remain RAC (Reservation against cancellation) on a daily basis, and the railways allots only half birth (one birth is shared between two passengers) at full fare. My question as a regular traveler is, why Railways can't refund at least 40% if not 50% of actual fare to the passengers travelling on RAC tickets with only half birth? Why the largest asset of Indian government is so unfair with its passengers across India? 

 

Please sign my petition to raise a voice against this unfair system and daylight robbery by the ministry of railways for a very, very long time now! 

Share this petition with others to ask government to purpose a change in RAC ticketing system to ensure passengers with RAC tickets get at least 40% refund (if railways need to deduct clerk charges or something like that)!

If we win this petition, it will be beneficial for millions of regular railway travelers like me, all over India! At least, there will be a fair ticketing system in Indian railways!
