Competing Forces the Dilemma of Missing a Train
Over scheduling is very disappointing, this is because apart from time being considered a valuable resource, it can also cost one a lot of money when one misses a train as was the case with the friends. This question is often asked by many people; is my ticket worthless if I fail to board the intended train? This article will then explain to you what you are allowed to do when you have missed your train, and the regulations guiding our tickets’ refund policies.
Travel on a Different Train
If you have obtained a general coach ticket Indian Railways gives you permission to board another train on the same route. However, you need a warning that the category of the train does make a big difference. For instance, if one has failed to travel on a superfast or the express train, one cannot schedule himself to travel on, say first class.
Applying for a Ticket Refund
If you miss your train and want to claim a refund, you can apply through the smartphone application known as IRCTC Once logged in, there will be an option you can click on; TDR known as Ticket Deposit Receipt. Choose the train option then complete the select input by typing “file TDR”. Below your ticket, it will be listed, and you can select it to file your request.
How to Cancel Your Ticket for a Refund
To appreciate the reduced amount of deductions that Indian Railways allows, users should cancel their tickets within set time limits. When you cancel your ticket at least two days prior to departure, then 25% of the cost of the ticket can be charged from you. When you finally cancel your ticket within the next four hours up to 12 hours from the scheduled time of the journey, the deduction goes up to 50%.
