How much refund will I get if I cancel my ticket?

Refund Policy for Train Ticket Cancellations

When canceling a train ticket, the amount of refund you receive depends on the class of train and the time of booking. The following is a breakdown of the refund policy:

AC First Class/Executive Class

• Cancellation within 24 hours of booking: Full refund
• Cancellation within 48 hours of booking: 75% refund
• Cancellation within 120 hours of booking: 50% refund
• Cancellation after 120 hours of booking: 25% refund or a minimum of ₹240

Other Classes (Sleeper, AC 2-Tier, AC 3-Tier)

• Cancellation within 24 hours of booking: Full refund
• Cancellation within 48 hours of booking: 60% refund
• Cancellation within 120 hours of booking: 40% refund
• Cancellation after 120 hours of booking: 25% refund or a minimum that depends on the class

Important Notes:

• The above refund percentages are subject to a minimum fee, which varies depending on the class of train.
• Cancellation charges are calculated based on the base fare, excluding any taxes or other charges.
• The refund will be processed via the original mode of payment.

Example:

If you cancel an AC First Class ticket that costs ₹1,000 within 24 hours of booking, you will receive a full refund of ₹1,000. However, if you cancel the same ticket after 120 hours, you will receive a refund of 25% of the fare, which would be ₹250.

It’s important to check with the relevant railway authority for specific refund policies as they may vary from time to time.
