Cancel rail tickets via SMS, online

Train passengers with confirmed reserved tickets, RAC and waitlisted ones can cancel these online and through phone without any time limit with effect from May 26. On April 29, the Railways launched a pilot project allowing cancellation of tickets for trains scheduled to depart within the next 24 hours. However, there are some conditions attached, including cancellation being permitted in normal circumstances only and not in case of late running of trains/cancellation of trains. The facility can be availed if the mobile number is provided while booking, an official statement read.
