IRCTC and Indian Railways: Keeping in mind the problems of railway passengers, Central Railway has given great relief. The passengers have got this relief with refund of Ticket Cancellation. Now passengers can withdraw their money from the counter for six months from the date of travel. In fact, the Central Railway had earlier informed by tweeting that the ticket money can be withdrawn till June 30 for the trains canceled during the Coronavirus Lockdown. After this information was given by the railway, a huge crowd was gathering on ticket counters for ticket refund. However, the railways also facilitated online train ticket refund. But during this time, millions of tickets were canceled due to which the crowd at the ticket counter was continuously increasing.
Due to the crowd gathering on the counters to withdraw the money, the rules of social distance were being violated. Guidelines issued by the government to avoid the corona virus were being violated. In view of this, the railways have now made it clear that refund of cancell tickets can be taken for 6 months after the date of travel. Therefore, passengers should not rush over the railway counters in a hurry.
Meanwhile, a good news has come for those who are afraid of rail travel. Yes, according to the government, the Indian Railways have had the best safety performance so far during the last year.
