IRCTC SUVIDHA TRAINS AND wait list

New Suvidha trains were introduced to replace premium trains. The most striking change is the scrapping of the waiting list, a first for a train in the IRCTC. This means that only confirmed and Reservation against Cancellation (RAC) tickets will be issued for these trains. Ticket cancellation can be done up to 6 hours before the commencement of the train journey. In that case, 50% of the fare will be refunded to the buyer’s account. If the train itself is canceled, however, the ticket price will be refunded wholly.
