The Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) has introduced a game-changing facility for passengers — the ‘Date Change’ feature, allowing travelers to modify their journey dates without paying the usual cancellation charges. This new feature aims to make train travel more flexible and passenger-friendly.
What Is the ‘Date Change’ Feature?
IRCTC’s new option enables passengers to reschedule their travel date for confirmed tickets instead of canceling and rebooking. This is a huge relief for travelers who often face last-minute plan changes but wish to avoid the hefty cancellation deductions.
Passengers can now simply log in to their IRCTC account, go to the booked tickets section, and select the new ‘Change Travel Date’ option.
Key Benefits for Passengers
