Cancelling train tickets? Indian Railways has just changed the cancellation charges

Indian Railways has updated its ticket cancellation policy, introducing a tiered refund system based on departure time. Passengers cancelling over 72 hours ahead get the highest refund with a small fee. Penalties escalate significantly as departure nears, with no refunds allowed for cancellations less than 8 hours before travel. These changes aim for clearer refund guidelines.
