If you booked your train ticket on the wrong day, don’t worry, here is the easiest way to change your train ticket.

Technical News Office – If you are traveling by train but the ticket was booked on the wrong date, you do not need to worry or get the ticket canceled. You can easily change your travel date by visiting the offline booking counter. Additionally, if there is any error in the passengers name, it can also be updated. Let us tell you what are the rules related to changing the date or name on the train ticket and what is the method to follow.

Indian Railways allows passengers to change the date of the confirmed ticket and transfer the same ticket to someone else under certain circumstances, but there are certain rules for this. Passengers can change the travel name or date only on tickets booked offline via the rail booking window. If the ticket is booked online through the IRCTC app or website, no such changes can be made.

What are the rules related to changing tickets
If you wish to transfer a ticket, this can only be done to a member of the passenger’s immediate family. For example, tickets can only be transferred to the passenger’s parents, siblings, son-daughter or husband-wife. Apart from this, if a ticket for a group educational tour has been booked, there is the possibility of transferring the ticket between group members. Likewise, the date of only confirmed and RAC tickets can be changed.

By following these steps, you will be able to make changes
First of all, you need to go to the nearest railway reservation counter. Keep in mind that after booking the ticket, the name change option is only available for 24 hours and the date change option is only available for the next 48 hours.
After that, you will need to submit the original ticket and submit a request stating what changes you want to make to the name or date.
For this you may have to pay a fixed fee and the ticket is only updated when a place is available on your new date.
Finally, you receive an updated ticket.

It is important to keep some things in mind, for example that updating your ticket depends on the railway authorities and they may ask you for more documents for verification. Apart from this, no changes can be made to tickets booked online or through the app.
