Good news for Indian Travelers as they can transfer their train ticket to Relatives in case they do not travel on it.. Application must be submitted atleast 24 hours in advance of the scheduled departure to the station manager / chief reservation supervisor and submit the application for the said purpose. He must also submit the photocopy of the proof of his relationship with the person to whom the ticket would be transferred like ration card, voter I-Card, bank pass book etc. Further, proof of age is also required to be submitted with the application. The station manager would then give the permission and changes made according to the application. If a person is holding a confirmed ticket and is unable to travel, then the ticket can be transferred to his/her family members including father, mother, brother, sister, son, daughter, husband or wife.

The chief reservation supervisor makes manual changes in the ticket and gives it to the passenger. The change is reflected in the reservation chart which is made when the person undertakes journey in the train. However, a new ticket is not issued.

Tickets can also be transferred to other students of recognized educational institutions when the principal or head makes a request atleast 48 hours in advance of the scheduled departure of the train.

Railway tickets can also be transferred to other members of the marriage party, if the head of such a party makes a request atleast 48 hours in advance of the scheduled departure of the train.
