flag India Railways to slash refunds based on cancellation timing starting April 2026, aiming to curb ticket touts and improve seat availability.

flag Indian Railways is implementing new ticket cancellation rules effective April 2026, with refund amounts decreasing based on how close to departure the cancellation occurs: full refund minus a small fee if canceled over 72 hours early, 25% deduction between 72 and 24 hours, 50% between 24 and 8 hours, and no refund within 8 hours. flag The changes aim to reduce ticket reselling by touts and improve seat availability. flag Passengers can now change their boarding point up to 30 minutes before departure. flag Cancellations can be made at any station, and e-tickets no longer require a manual TDR submission—refunds are processed automatically. flag These updates are part of broader reforms to enhance system fairness and efficiency.
