Same flight, why charge Rs 300 more just for a different flight code?

Can't see the pic for some reason (spam domain?). However, if it is Jet Lite vs Jet Airways, there is going to be a difference in the fares, with the latter being costlier.
 
Jet Konnect and Jet Lite are exactly the same in every way except airline code.

The true Jet Airways flights with the bigger economy seats, etc have a 3 digit flight number.

I think JetLite won't have service (read : food ) as JetAirways.

I could be wrong though.

In the screenshot its Jet Konnect vs Jet Lite and both are the same physical flight. Passengers will board the same plane regardless of which ticket they buy

Seat size is same in Jet and Jet Konnect

Jet Konnect and Jet Lite flights may or may not be the same

In this screenshot however, they are the same

I am a JetPrivilege Platinum Card holder mate. Trust me, Jet Konnect and Jet Lite are the same planes (99% of the time). Only once have I travelled in full size planes and not super economy ones when it comes to Jet Konnect. I love Jet Airways (not as much as Indigo for obvious reasons
<
), but the Jet Konnect thing is just to confuse people.

In the screenshot, JetLite and JetKonnect flights are also different as the tail numbers are different. The flights will only get merged if the number of passengers in both is less than half (Personally encountered that on a few occasions)
 
Getting bigger flight/seats in Jet konnect is pure luck i guess, till now i have been lucky only once and the rest of the times it was the normal economy size.
 
There's a lot more that goes into the pricing of an airline ticket than simple math. Unless you look at the algorithm being used to calculate the airfare, there's no way for you to accurately tell why a particular ticket is being priced so. And since Jet Lite and Konnect aren't merged yet, they might have slightly differing structures at this point which leads to the sometimes slightly different prices. Also, you might want to check on the airlines websites directly to see if there's still a price difference.
