Railway lets you transfer your train ticket to someone else: Here's how

Indian Railways' consumer friendly facility: Most of us have gone through the hassle of ticket cancellation due to last-minute change in travel plans. When it comes to train ticket bookings, we prefer doing it in advance to get confirmed tickets but plans don't always fall in place. Well, you don’t need to cancel your tickets. Though not many know, there's a way out. You can simply pass on your ticket to a family member by seeking Indian Railway's permission. While this rule has been in place for years, in a recent circular, the Indian Railways re-iterated the rule.


Here are a couple of things that you must keep in mind:


1. You need to have a confirmed ticket to opt for this service.


2. Only Chief Reservation Supervisor of important stations are authorised by Railway Administration to permit the change of name of a passenger having a seat or berth reserved in his name.
