Ministry of Railways has decided to grant automatic refund of confirmed/RAC tickets booked online on cancellation of trains, similar to that of waitlisted e-tickets.
“There shall not be any requirement for cancellation/filing of TDR for refund of e-tickets in case of cancellation of trains. This has become effective from July 13, 2015," an official statement said.
However, for tickets booked through reservation counters the current system of refund across reservation counter would continue on cancelled trains, it added.
