Have you ever wondered if you can board another train with the same ticket after missing your scheduled one? Or whether you’re eligible for a refund? Let’s clear up the confusion with Indian Railways' official rules.

Can You Travel in Another Train with the Same Ticket?

No! According to Indian Railways' rules, if you miss your train, you cannot use the same ticket to board another train. You will have to buy a new ticket for your journey.

💸 Do You Get a Refund for a Missed Train?

Yes, but only if you cancel your ticket at least 4 hours before the train’s departure.
No refund will be provided after the train has departed, even if you had a confirmed ticket.

🚀 What to Do If You Miss Your Train?

1️⃣ Book a new ticket on the IRCTC website or at the ticket counter.
2️⃣ Board the next train and contact the TTE (Travelling Ticket Examiner).
3️⃣ If a seat is available, TTE may allot you a seat after charging an additional fee.

💡 Pro Tip: Always arrive early at the station to avoid missing your train and ensure a hassle-free journey! ✅🚆
