Know how to transfer a reserved train ticket to another passenger

New Delhi: Indian Railways now gives passengers  the option of transferring  their reserved  ticket to another passenger. However, a passenger can transfer a confirmed ticket to only a family member.

The passenger, including government employees, has to put in the request for the same 24 hours before the departure time of the train. After this, the ticket will be transferred in the name of the new passenger.

In the case of a government employee, if there is a festival, wedding occasion or any personal issue, then the person needs to raise the ticket transfer request 48 hours before the departure time. Passengers who will replace the person are required to carry a valid government ID during the travel for verification.
