We often hear cases where many individuals fail to travel despite having a confirmed ticket due to a certain emergency or last minute change in plans. . Rather than letting your ticket go to waste, Indian Railways now gives you the option of transferring your ticket to another passenger, who needs it. However, a passenger can transfer a confirmed ticket to only a family member.
How to avail the facility?
The only requirement is that the passenger, including government employees, has to put in the request for the same 24 hours before the departure time of the train. After this, the ticket will be transferred in the name of the new passenger.
In the case of a government employee, if there is a festival, wedding occasion or any personal issue, then the person needs to raise the ticket transfer request 48 hours before the departure time. The NCC candidates can also avail the benefits of the ticket transfer service. Passengers who will replace the person are required to carry a valid government ID during the travel for verification.
Here is a step-by-step process to transfer a confirmed train ticket:
Step 1: Take a printout of the ticket.
Step 2: Visit the nearest railway station and go to the reservation counter.
Step 3: Make sure you carry ID proof like an Aadhar card, PAN card or Voter’s ID card of the person to whom you want to transfer the ticket. You may also have to submit a copy of your ID proof.
Step 4: Apply for ticket transfer over the counter with all the documents.
Step 5: After that, your ticket will easily get transferred to the person who will be travelling in place of you.
When a confirmed ticket is cancelled by a passenger, then it will be beneficial to the passengers on the waiting list, according to the Ministry of Railways. The vacant spot after the cancellation is promptly allocated to the first person on the waiting list, ensuring swift confirmation. The confirmed passenger will be notified through a message sent by Indian Railways.
