Indian Railways: 20 percent of the people who make reservations for traveling by train are those who later cancel the ticket and the money is refunded to their account. But most people do not know that apart from the ticket cancellation charge, there are some other charges as well, which the railway takes from the passengers while making the reservation but does not refund it at the time of cancellation. What are these charges, let’s know-
Railway Board’s Executive Director Information and Publicity Dilip Kumar says that while making a reservation, apart from the train fare, reservation charges, superfast charges and GST are also taken. When you cancel a ticket, the class-wise charges are deducted from the amount paid by you, along with reservation charges and GST are non-refundable. Apart from this, superfast charges are also levied.
Ticket cancellation charges
If an RAC/waiting ticket is cancelled, cancellation charge of Rs. 60 per passenger will be levied. If a confirmed ticket is cancelled before 48 hours of the train departure, the cancellation charge is Rs. 240 for AC/Executive Chair Car, Rs. 200 for AC 2 Tier, Rs. 180 for AC 3 Tier, Rs. 120 for Sleeper Class and Rs. 60 for Second Class per passenger.
