Sir, your point number 4 is 4. "No refund is given by Indian Railways after chart preparation in case of a confirmed online ticket. However, in such a scenario, user can use the online TDR (Ticket Deposit Receipt) filing facility and track refund status of the case, mentioned IRCTC." Is there any refund will be made after TDR filing. If yes then at which rate. If no then what is the benefit to file the TDR. more

Dr Dinesh Racca, Can you please inform since when the latest amendment mentioned in your comment has come into effect as I have not come across any such info. from IRCTC. more  
I had booked ticket for AC 3 (W/L)and cancelled within 24 hours and only Rs. 70/ deducted. Whether the above amount is mentioned for Confirmed Reserved Ticket? more  
The cancellation charges should be reduced further or limited to clerical charges, as Railway is not loosing anything and passengers are mostly continue in wait listed till the chart is prepared. more
