Passengers often book tickets for travelling by train several weeks in advance and sometimes when their intention to travel changes, they have to cancel the ticket. On cancelling the ticket, they get the money only after the cancellation charge is deducted. But instead of cancelling the ticket, you can also transfer the ticket to someone else.
Train Ticket: Actually, Indian Railways has provided the facility of transferring tickets if you are not travelling. However, you can transfer the train ticket only in the name of your family members like parents, siblings, son-daughter, husband-wife.
For this, the passenger has to make a request one day before the departure of the train.
At the same time, if someone has to travel for a wedding ceremony or any other personal work, then he will have to apply for ticket transfer 48 hours in advance.
For this, take a print out of the train ticket and take the original ID of the family member whose name you want to register along with a photo copy to the counter.
There, fill the form and give the details of the person traveling. After this, the name of the passenger is crossed out from the ticket and the name of the member in whose name the ticket has been transferred is inserted.
Apart from transferring train tickets, passengers can also change the boarding station. For this you will have to login to the IRCTC website.
Indian Railways does not allow change of boarding station name if the ticket is booked in offline mode (reservation counter).
