The new rules - which come into effect from November 11 - also provide for a deduction of 25% of the fare amount for cancellations between 48 and 12 hours before the train`s departure and a deduction of 50% of the fare amount for cancellations between 12 and 4 hours before the train`s departure.
Wait-Listed and Reservation Against Cancellation (RAC) tickets will not be entitled for any refund if such tickets are presented for cancellation 30 minutes before the scheduled departure of the train.
