How can I cancel 1 ticket out of 4 in IRCTC app?

Cancelling a Single Ticket from an IRCTC Group Booking

Booking train tickets for a group on IRCTC is convenient, but what happens when one person needs to cancel? Many users assume they have to cancel the entire booking and rebook for the remaining passengers. Thankfully, IRCTC offers the flexibility to cancel individual tickets within a group booking directly through the app. This article will guide you through the simple process of cancelling just one ticket out of four (or any number) on the IRCTC app.

While cancelling an entire booking is straightforward, partially cancelling requires a bit more navigation. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown:

1. Access the IRCTC App and Log In: Open the IRCTC app on your mobile device and log in using your registered credentials. Ensure you have a stable internet connection for a smooth cancellation process.

2. Navigate to “My Bookings” or “My Transactions”: The exact wording might vary slightly depending on the app version. Look for a section related to your booking history, typically labeled “My Bookings” or “My Transactions”. Tap on this option.

3. Locate the Group Booking: You will see a list of your booked tickets. Identify the specific group booking containing the ticket you wish to cancel. The booking will likely display the journey date, train name/number, and the number of passengers. Select this booking.

4. Select the Ticket for Cancellation: Once you’ve opened the group booking details, you’ll see a list of passengers associated with that reservation. Carefully select the passenger whose ticket you want to cancel. Ensure you’re selecting the correct passenger to avoid unnecessary cancellations.

5. Choose “Cancel Ticket” Option: After selecting the passenger, look for an option that says “Cancel Ticket” or similar. This might be a button or a link. Tap on it to initiate the cancellation process.

6. Review Cancellation Details and Confirm: A pop-up window will appear, displaying the details of the cancellation, including the refund amount (if applicable) and any cancellation charges. Carefully review this information before proceeding. Once you’re sure, confirm the cancellation.

7. Cancellation Confirmation: After confirmation, you’ll receive a cancellation message on the app and likely via email or SMS. This confirmation will contain the PNR number and other relevant details. Keep this information for future reference.

Important Considerations:

• Cancellation Charges: Remember that cancellation charges apply, varying based on the time of cancellation relative to the journey date. Check the IRCTC website for the latest cancellation rules.
• Refund Processing: Refunds, if applicable, are usually processed automatically within a few business days and credited back to the original payment method.
• Partial Cancellation Rules: Be aware that certain ticket types might have specific rules regarding partial cancellations. Refer to the IRCTC website for detailed information.

By following these steps, you can easily cancel individual tickets from a group booking on the IRCTC app without having to cancel and rebook for the entire group. This feature offers much-needed flexibility and convenience for travelers.
