Indian Railways Ticket New Rule: Indian Railways is preparing a major change for the convenience of passengers. This change will allow passengers to change the date of their confirmed train tickets. Furthermore, there will be no cancellation charges for changing a confirmed ticket to a later date. This means that if you have a confirmed ticket for Patna on November 20th, and for some reason your plan changes five days later, you won’t need to purchase a new ticket for November 25th. You can change the date of your November 20th confirmed train ticket online and travel to Patna on November 25th using the same ticket.
Under the current system, if your travel plans change, you must cancel your ticket and then rebook a new one for the next date. This will result in a cancellation fee. Furthermore, it’s impossible to obtain a confirmed ticket for the next date. The Railways is implementing a major change regarding the rescheduling of confirmed tickets, which will provide significant relief to passengers. Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav informed NDTV about this significant change. According to this, no fee will be deducted for changing the travel date of a confirmed train ticket online. The current system does not allow for changing travel dates.
Railway Minister said that online date changes will be possible from January. Currently, canceling a ticket and changing the travel date requires significant expense, leaving passengers without even traveling.The Railway Minister acknowledged that this system is not appropriate and is not in the best interest of passengers. Necessary instructions have been issued and changes are being made.The Railway Minister said that the date of online ticket travel can be changed from January.
There is no guarantee that you will get a confirmed ticket in exchange for a confirmed ticket.
However, there will be no guarantee of receiving a confirmed ticket instead of a confirmed one; tickets will be available based on availability. Furthermore, any fare difference will be borne by the passenger. This change will benefit millions of passengers who wish to change their confirmed train tickets, but the railways deduct a substantial amount of money for this.
