INDIAN RAILWAYS REFUND: If you have an e-ticket but the train you were supposed to travel on gets cancelled due to any reason, you don’t have to go anywhere to get your ticket cancelled. The money automatically gets refunded when the train gets cancelled. Thus, there is no need to file the Ticket Deposit Receipt (TDR). If the train gets late for more than 3 hours and the passenger does not travel on it, the TDR needs to be filed before the train departs.
