Missed Your Train? Know Your Rights on Tickets & Refunds!

  • Unreserved tickets allow travel on another train of the same category for 3 hours or until the next available train.
  • Unreserved tickets are not valid on premium trains like Rajdhani or Vande Bharat; using them incurs heavy fines.
  • Reserved tickets cannot be reused if you miss your train; attempting to do so can lead to fines or being treated as ticketless.
  • If your train is delayed by over 3 hours and you don't travel, you are eligible for a full refund by filing a TDR.
  • For reserved tickets, your seat remains safe for the next two stations if you miss your boarding point, allowing you to board there.

Why It Matters: Understand ticket rules for missed trains to avoid fines and ensure proper refunds.
