In such a situation, passengers have the right to get a ticket refund if the train is delayed by 3 hours or more. Today we will tell you about the rules related to train ticket refunds of Indian Railways.

Terms and Conditions of Indian Railways

If the train you are going to travel by, but that train is running late by more than 3 hours, then you can easily claim a refund. However, this facility is not available to passengers with confirmed Tatkal tickets. This means that if you have a confirmed Tatkal ticket, then you cannot claim a refund for it.

To claim a refund, passengers have to file a Ticket Deposit Receipt. You can file TDR by visiting the official website of IRCTC. Apart from this, you can also claim a refund offline i.e. by going to the ticket counter. According to the rules of Indian Railways, the refund amount will come to your bank account within 90 days of filing TDR.
