COMPUTERISATION OF COACHING REFUNDS


A Pilot Project of computerization of coaching (ticket) refunds started on South Central Railways in 2002-2003 has proved to be immensely popular with the rail users.

The Ministry of Railways has now decided to extend this scheme to other Zonal Railways in phases. This would facilitate easy grant of refunds of tickets.

In addition to the existing facilities, refunds of the amount of tickets due from any Passenger Reservation System (PRS) centre has been permitted with effect from April 1, 2003 three hours after the train has reached its destination.
