You have to pay a cancellation fee, if you cancel a train ticket. But, if you think you can change the date of your journey, then you don’t have to pay the fee.
Railway policy allows you to move the date on a train ticket forward or backward. This is something you have to do 48 hours before the train leaves. Give your ticket to the reservation desk. You also have to ask for a new date at the same time. You can also improve the class during this time. The date and class are altered once the application is submitted. You will not be charged anything to modify the date. You must pay the difference between the two prices if you change classes.
You can also change the railway station you wish to board the train from. Before the first plan of the train is made, you need to talk to the Chief Reservation Supervisor or the Reservation Supervisor on duty. During business hours, you can do this at the Passenger Reservation Center. Besides this, this job can also be done on the IRCTC website and by calling 139. This option is available for both online and Reservation Center train bookings.
If you want to extend your trip, you can do it from inside the train. You need to talk to the people who check tickets about this. You can do this work before the train gets to the stop where you were planning to get off or even at that station. TTE will be in charge of getting back any extra fees for the long trip. In a similar way, if you call TTE while traveling, you can switch the classes.
