How much money is deducted on cancellation?
Cancellation Fee for Confirmed AC Train Tickets
When canceling a confirmed AC train ticket in India, passengers are subject to a fixed cancellation fee of Rs. 240, irrespective of the fare paid. This fee is deducted before processing the refund.
Cancellation Timeline
The cancellation fee applies to tickets canceled more than 48 hours prior to the scheduled departure time. If a ticket is canceled within 48 hours of departure, a higher cancellation fee may be applicable, as per Indian Railways regulations.
Refund Process
After deducting the cancellation fee, the remaining amount is processed as a refund. The refund is typically credited back to the original mode of payment used to purchase the ticket. The processing time for refunds may vary depending on the bank or payment gateway used.
Example
If a passenger cancels a confirmed AC train ticket with a fare of Rs. 1,000 more than 48 hours before departure, they will receive a refund of Rs. 760 (Rs. 1,000 – Rs. 240 cancellation fee).
Note:
- The cancellation fee is subject to change as per the discretion of Indian Railways.
- Passengers are advised to check the latest cancellation rules and fees before canceling their tickets.
- It is recommended to cancel tickets as early as possible to minimize cancellation charges.
