New Delhi: Starting January next year, passengers will be able to change the date of their train journey without cancelling their booked ticket, Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw announced. Under the current system, passengers must cancel tickets and rebook, losing part of the fare as a cancellation fee. The new feature eliminates this fee, though seat confirmation on the new date is not guaranteed. Passengers will need to pay the fare difference if the new ticket costs more. Presently, cancelling a ticket 48–12 hours before departure incurs a 25% deduction, with higher penalties for later cancellations, and no refund after the reservation chart is prepared.
