Many people prefer train travel as it’s a comfortable and tireless way to journey long distances. Millions book and travel by train daily. Sometimes, even after booking, situations arise where the travel date needs to be changed.</p><img><p>Under the current railway system, if passengers want to change their travel date, they must cancel the old ticket and book a new one.

However, Indian Railways has announced that starting this January, you can change the date of confirmed train tickets online for free.</p><img><p>However, getting a confirmed seat on your new desired date is not guaranteed. Your seat depends on availability on the new date. Also, if the new ticket fare is higher, passengers must pay the difference. Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw told NDTV that this new rule will be effective from January.</p><img><p>Under current rules, if you cancel a confirmed ticket 48 to 12 hours before departure, 25% of the fare is deducted.
