How to change the name in train ticket
It is easy to change the details in Indian Railways train tickets, but you also need to have correct information. Be sure to know the rules for changing name and date in confirmed tickets. If you want to transfer your ticket to someone else, then there are rules for that too. The ticket can only be transferred to family members like father, mother, brother, sister, son, daughter, husband or wife. Government officials, students of the study tour, or in such cases, can be transferred within the ticket group in group booking.
How to transfer tickets
To transfer tickets, you have to go to the Railway Reservation Office at least 24 hours before the departure of the train. Applications have to be given to change the name there. Together, ID of ticket holder and ID of whose name is to be transferred will have to be given there. Give the application to the railway officer with proof document.
Note that the name can be changed only once on one ticket. At the same time, if you have booked tickets online, then this facility will not be available on it.
How to change date in train ticket
If you have booked the train ticket for the wrong date, then it is also possible to change with certain conditions. To change the date, you have to go to the nearest Railway Reservation Center at least 48 hours ago. Show the confirmed ticket at the counter and submit the application to change the date. If a seat is not available for you on the date mentioned, then you can choose another date.
This facility is not provided in the ticket booked online. Only the tickets booked from the counter have the facility to change the date. If you want to change the date booked online, then the passenger will have to cancel the ticket and book a new ticket for the new date.
