| Plan (Sedan) | Billed km | Estimated fare |
|---|---|---|
| One way Pondicherry → Vellore | 190 | ₹3,250 |

How the Pondicherry to Vellore fare is worked out
Fare = billable km × the car’s per-km rate + driver bata. For a Sedan on this route that is 190 km × ₹15 = ₹2,850, plus ₹400 bata = ₹3,250. In an Innova it is 190 km × ₹21 = ₹3,990, plus ₹500 bata = ₹4,490. Extra stops or detours use the same per-km rate, and nothing is added for the driver’s return journey on a one way drop.
