Indian railways hikes tatkal ticket charges

Ticket cancellation and refund of reserved tickets will now be done at a separate counter.

To ensure passenger-friendly measures, the railways ministry has decided to convert one Unreserved Ticketing System (UTS) counter, where only unreserved tickets are sold, into UTS cum Passenger Reservation System (PRS) counter, where only reserved tickets are sold.

Cancellation and refund of PRs (passenger reservation) counter tickets shall be made across the earmarked UTS cum PRS counter (only for refund of PRS counter tickets) beyond the working hours of existing PRS counters or current counters as per refund rules.

However, the cancellation and refund facility will be extended only to those tickets which were booked at the PRS counter and not for tickets that are booked online or through mobile applications.
