In order to increase the revenues in Railways, many steps are being taken. Now the latest is that railways will soon fall in line with the airlines.
Indian Railways are planning to soon launch a system where rail ticket rates will be dependent on the time you book the tickets. The earlier you book, the cheaper your railway tickets get. Since railways begin the booking 120 days in advance, the fares will be the cheapest between 120-110 days before your travel and then the prices will marginally increase every 10 days. Similarly, even cancellation of tickets will get more expensive closer to the date of your travel.
While this does mean an inconvenience for passengers, it means in increased income for Indian Railways.
