Indian Railways : Indian Railways is about to bring a major relief to passengers. Passengers will no longer have to pay a cancellation fee for train tickets. The Railways is preparing to introduce a new system that will allow passengers to change their travel dates without canceling their tickets. This facility will soon be available through the IRCTC website and app.
No more cancellations, train tickets can be rescheduled
Until now, if a passenger’s trip is unexpectedly cancelled or they miss a train, they are often deducted from their ticket or lose the entire fare. However, with the new system in place, passengers will have the option to choose a new travel date instead of simply canceling their ticket. If the fare on the new train or date is higher, they will only have to pay the difference. There will be no cancellation charge.
The biggest problem of passengers will end
According to current rules, if a passenger misses a train or cancels a ticket for any reason, 25% to 50% of their fare is deducted. If the ticket is cancelled less than four hours before the scheduled departure, no refund is provided. Sometimes, due to unexpected flight delays, bad weather, or an emergency, passengers are unable to catch the train and lose their entire fare. This new step by the Railways has been taken to address this problem.
How the new system will work
Passengers can log in to their IRCTC account and select a new travel date or a different train, provided seats are available. The system will then display the fare difference, which will be paid to confirm the new ticket. This process will be completely online, eliminating the need for passengers to cancel or purchase a new ticket.
This facility is available at the international level
In Japan, the Japan Rail Pass allows passengers to change their travel dates on most trains without penalty. In Europe, many train services offer flexi-tickets, allowing passengers to make changes or receive refunds before their journey. In Britain, the Anytime Ticket allows travel on any train.
