Procedure for Cancellation of E-Tickets

e-Tickets can be cancelled on Internet at this website till Chart preparation of the train .Cancellations are not allowed at face to face Railway Counters. If the user wishes to cancel his e-Ticket, he can do so till the time of chart preparation for the train, which is normally 4 hours before the scheduled departure of the train from the train originating station. For train starting up to 12 noon the chart preparation is usually done on the previous night. He can log on to www.irctc.co.in and go to "Booked Tickets" link and select the ticket to be cancelled and can initiate the cancellation by selecting the passengers to be cancelled. However if the Identity Card holder in the original ticket is selected for cancellation, all the passengers in the ticket would have be cancelled and a fresh reservation will have to be made, duly including the ID particulars of another passenger. Cancellation would be confirmed online and the refund would be credited back to the account used for booking as for normal Internet tickets. If there is any partial cancellation of ticket, please ensure that a fresh e-reservation slip (Electronic Reservation Slip) is printed separately as done for the original ticket.

Hi, In a family, if one of the member, ie.,passenger ticket is cancelled, that ticket can be used for others( May be for family or friends), by changing their name , age and sex.
As a suggestion....
while their is an option for cancelletion, Likewise their should be edit option of passenger name,age and sex to change with an password.

Unknown said...

What do I have to do to get my refund if my 3A wait-listed e-ticket is not confirmed. Will I get full refund including reservation charges, bank commission etc. I could not find these details anywhere in the Indian Railways rules..Do I have to send an email or any such sort of thing to wake up the railways authorities for refund? Thanks for help.

Dear Customer, 14.5.10
Kindly note that in a wait list ticket if all the passengers remains wait list even after chart preparation, then the customer need not to apply to IRCTC for cancellation and refund.

If you want to cancel this ticket then you can send the request of cancellation to etickets@irctc.co.in from the same email-id which you have mentioned in your profile.

anju said...

they havn't mentioned how much will be refunded for cancelling a waiting e-ticket, plz some1 answer this...

Nidhi & Minaxxi Kumar said...

My e-ticket remained wait-listed till chart-preparation. I waited till departure of train in hope that it may show confirm res.But wait-list-position remained same till end.
When I tried to cancel it just before train departure,ur message said "e-tickets can not be cancelled after chart-preparations on internet."
==meena505
I spent some very tense moments as to how to cancel it now.
So I sent e-mail to u to cancel it.
Afterwards I read on the e-ticket that wait-list ticket will be cancelled automatically after chart-preparation.
My suggestion is that when somebody tries to cancel a wait-list ticket after chart-preparation , message should be " Ticket cancelled automatically"

Siddy said...

wht abt when you have done a netsafe in HDFC credit card, how will the money come as the credit card account number would be fake.....

Unknown said...

That's why you should refrain from using netsafe in these type of situations. For small payments or payments where you're not expecting a refund netsafe is ok.

Unknown said...

How can a cancel a ticket booked
by a travel agent.

mathasoft said...

it is my humble suggestion
i)that the Railways should atleast allow the waitlisted e-ticket holders after chart preparation to get unreserved e-tickets on the same amount already paid to the Railways. Otherwise the ticket holder is forced to spend from his pocket again. More than that the problem of 'Long Indian Queue' at counters that hinder to catch the same train.

ii) Like PNR status, it should be possible to print out the e-tickets anywhere. Because someone from Chennai may have booked an e-ticket for somebody at Delhi.

Please do the needful urgently.
