This will avoid the hassle of canceling the ticket or buying a new ticket if the travel plan changes at the last moment. Digital ticketing and refund process will also be simplified, which will increase transparency and convenience.
Many changes have been made for the convenience of passengers and to bring transparency in the ticketing system.
Jagran correspondent, Bhagalpur. There is great relief news for railway passengers. Now passengers will be able to change their boarding station even after the train chart is prepared. Many important changes are being made by Railways to make the ticketing system more transparent and convenient. This new rule is likely to come into effect from April.
Boarding can be changed up to 30 minutes in advance
Under the new provision, passengers will be able to change their boarding station through mobile 30 minutes before the departure of the train. This will provide special relief to those passengers whose travel plans change at the last moment. Now they will not have to face the problem of canceling the ticket or getting a new ticket.
Railways has taken this step towards making the ticketing system more digital and simple. Now many facilities will be available through mobile app only. This will reduce the need for passengers to stand in long queues or depend on counters.
Changes in cancellation and refund also
Under the new rules, tickets purchased over the counter can now be canceled at any railway station. At the same time, the requirement of filling TDR for e-tickets has been abolished. Now the refund amount will automatically be credited back to the passengers' bank account, making the process easier.
Emphasis on transparency and convenience
The aim of the Railway Ministry is to provide more convenience to the passengers and make the ticketing process transparent. These changes will provide relief to passengers from unnecessary hassles and will also save time.
Likely to be implemented from April
CTI Phool Kumar Sharma said that official guidelines in this regard have not been fully issued yet, but it is likely that the new rule will be implemented from April. After this, passengers will get ease in many ticket related processes.
This change is being considered a big step towards digital reforms of Railways, which is expected to make the journey of passengers more smooth and convenient.
