How much money is refunded if a waiting ticket is not confirmed?

Refund Policy for Unconfirmed Waiting List Tickets

When purchasing a train ticket in India, passengers may choose to book a waiting list ticket. This type of ticket allows passengers to travel on a train if there are no-shows or cancellations, but it does not guarantee a confirmed seat.

In the event that a waiting list ticket is not confirmed, the passenger is entitled to a refund. However, there are some deductions that will be applied to the refund amount.

Deductions from Refund Amount

The following deductions are applied to the refund amount for an unconfirmed waiting list ticket:

• ₹20 cancellation fee
• GST (Goods and Services Tax) on the cancellation fee

Exact Refund Amount

The exact refund amount for an unconfirmed waiting list ticket will vary depending on the specific cancellation circumstances. For example, if the ticket was purchased online, the refund amount may be slightly lower due to online booking charges.

How to Claim a Refund

To claim a refund for an unconfirmed waiting list ticket, passengers can visit the railway reservation counter at the station from where the train departed. The passenger will need to present the original ticket and a valid ID proof.

Note:

It is important to note that refund rules and procedures may be subject to change. Passengers are advised to check with the railway authorities for the most up-to-date information.
