- The Indian Railways said holders of second class (2S) reserved tickets are advised to check their PNR status (menu ‘Trains’ > ‘PNR request’) before travelling. If holders of reserved 2S tickets receive the PNR status as ‘Itinerary Class Removed/Booking Not Allowed Due to Certain Class for the Route Removed’ on PNR inquiry, they may cancel such tickets to receive a full refund.
- Train travelers should note that tickets booked through the IRCTC website will be automatically canceled and a refund will be issued to the user’s accounts.
- Those who have booked tickets through ticket offices will need to visit the reservation desk to claim the refund.
