Indian railways have brought a new feature for the convenience and safety of passenger’s money. The new rule now allows the Indian railway passengers to transfer their ticket (reservation) to another person. The railway authorities had issued some set of guidelines for the rail ticket transfer.

So from now, those who reserved a ticket and can’t travel can transfer their tickets to their loved ones, blood relatives like grandparents, father, mother sister or brother.

The transfer of ticket shall be done by changing the name of the person holding the ticket. Chief Reservation Supervisor of major stations is permitted to change the name of the person having a seat or berth.
