Indian Railways guidelines: Enable the transfer of a confirmed ticket by a passenger to another person.

If anyone has a confirmed ticket but cannot catch the train for a reason, they can now transfer the ticket to a family member and save the money spent on the ticket. One thing to note here is that the transfer is possible only to a family member—father, mother, sister, brother, daughter, son, husband or wife.

To avail this service, passengers ought to raise a request 24 hours prior to the departure of the train. Another important thing to be noted is that the transfer of the ticket can be availed only once per person. If you have already transferred a ticket to someone then you can not avail the service second time.

According to the Indian Railways, the request should be raised at least 24 hours prior to the departure time, but it can vary depending on the passenger who is raising the request.

In case of a government employee, the request should be raised 24 hours before the departure of the train. If there is a festivity, wedding occasion, or any personal issue then the person needs to raise the ticket 48 hours prior to the departure. 

The NCC candidates can also enjoy the benefits of the ticket transfer service. Passengers who will replace their counterpart is required to carry their identification documents for travelling.

This is already a piece of big news for the people who are not able to go for their tickets. Now they can travel on another person's ticket who is known to them and enjoy their journey in peace. The Indian Railway has given many facilities to its passengers so that they can enjoy their journey as per their wish.

IRCTC understand their passenger very well and always keep on doing small or big changes to provide the best services and facilities to their passengers throughout the year.
