In this article, we give you 5 Rules of Ticket Cancellation in Indian Railways. In Indian Railways, we can cancel the ticket in two ways, one is offline and the other is online. We can cancel the offline ticket when we have booked the ticket with the reservation counter of the railway. At the same time, we can cancel the ticket online if we booked the ticket through IRCTC or any other online service.
Note: if a train is running late or the train is canceled then we can not cancel the offline ticket. This means that we can not get any refund if we can cancel the offline ticket in such a situation. However, If we have booked tickets online, we can get a refund on canceling such a ticket.
So let us know 5 Rules of Ticket Cancellation in Indian Railways.
List of 5 Rules of Ticket Cancellation in Indian Railways
First of all, we talk about online ticket cancellation. You can cancel a confirm ticket until 4 hours before the train’s departure.
On the other hand, you can cancel a RAC or Waiting List ticket before 30 minutes of train’s departure.
Now talk about tickets booked through offline mode. You can cancel an offline booked ticket via railway booking counter only. Moreover, If you cancel your confirm ticket 1 day before the departure of the train, you can collect refund fee from the railway ticket booking counter by 4 hours before the train departure.
If you canceled the offline ticket 4 hours prior to the departure of the train, then you will get a refund after the departure of the train.
Once you cancel the online ticket completely then IRCTC displays the refunds amount on the website.
