A major demonstration is scheduled to take place at Jantar Mantar today, and tight security arrangements have been put in place. Not just one, but multiple layers of barricades have been erected, and numerous police personnel are deployed. Furthermore, every inch of the area is under surveillance. In fact, several trains have been cancelled due to the protests. You might be thinking, “We booked our tickets, we’ve already lost our money, and this is a huge loss.” However, this isn’t the case. Passengers will now receive a full refund. TDRs will no longer be required on e-tickets. Normally, you don’t receive a full refund upon cancellation, but since this train has been cancelled by the government, you will receive a full refund.
It’s worth noting that the demonstration at Jantar Mantar is likely to disrupt rail operations, which is why the decision has been made to cancel several trains. However, even after the cancellation, you will receive a full refund according to railway regulations. According to the railway’s rules, if you cancel your ticket, you receive a refund after some charges have been deducted. However, this time you will receive a full refund, without any deductions.
Learn how to get a full refund in case of train cancellation.
You will now receive a full refund in case of train cancellation by the railway. This refund is only for passengers with confirmed tickets, and passengers with waitlisted tickets are exempted under the established rules. Regarding e-ticket holders, passengers who book e-tickets generally do not need a separate refund. In case of a complete train cancellation, the railway system itself provides a full refund. It may take some time, but you will receive a full refund. The refund will be credited to your account based on the bank or payment service, so passengers should be fully aware of the bank account, card, or digital payment method used when booking the ticket.
No need to file a TDR on e-tickets
Many people use e-tickets, and there’s no need to use a TDR in this case. TDRs are typically used in situations where a specific refund claim is necessary. However, when the Railways itself cancels a train, a TDR is not required. Since the entire train has been cancelled by the Railways itself, you will receive a full refund without any explanation.
What should those who purchased tickets from the counter do?
Suppose you purchased your ticket from the counter, you might be wondering how they will receive a refund. Let us explain. The refund process is slightly different for passengers who purchased tickets from the railway reservation counter. Please familiarize yourself with that process. Passengers who booked tickets from the counter must retain their original tickets and submit them at the railway reservation counter as per the procedure. After this, the full fare will be refunded to you hand-in-hand at the counter, as per the rules.
