New Delhi: The Indian Railways is working on a proposal to allow passengers to modify their travel dates even after they have obtained a confirmed ticket.

The new facility is expected to be launched in January next year, said a senior official in the Railway Ministry, adding that by implementing this, the railway could make its travel more convenient and passenger-friendly.

Once implemented, it could save travellers both time and money by removing the hassle of cancelling and rebooking tickets.

At present, if travellers want to alter their journey date, they must cancel their ticket and make a fresh booking. This involves additional charges for a new ticket and also cancellation fees for the old ticket.

The proposed system will save passengers the cancellation and rebooking charges.
