The only other thing I can suggest is that if you get an unexpectedly high quote, ask what fare bases are being used for the new ticket. That may give you a clue as to what is happening.

I'm a bit puzzled by a total cost of change of £600. The change fee is INR 10000, which is about £92. That implies a fare difference of just over £500 for the half round-trip being changed, or a round-trip fare difference of just over £1,000. But as far as I can see, looking at fares valid today, there is no T class fare that is £1,000 more than today's TLXC0NS6, which is £392 (if priced in GBP); the highest T class fare that EF is showing me is £1,061 round-trip.

If another call doesn't produce any more joy, then the problem is beyond my (very limited) knowledge and understanding.
