Indian Railways: Waiting for IRCTC ticket cancellation refund after Coronavirus lockdown? Check your money status at refundindianrail.gov.in

Indian Railways: IRCTC ticket cancellation refund is expected to take place automatically and the money will be transferred into the railways passengers' accounts. This has been done as the Indian Railways has cancelled the plying of all trains to contain Coronavirus spread. In the wake of train cancellation caused by Corona lockdown, IRCTC had advised that IRCTC tickets must not be cancelled by the passengers as IRCTC will automatically cancel the tickets and make a refund. It also warned the IRCTC ticket holders that if they cancel on their own, then IRCTC ticket cancellation charges will be deducted while in the case of automatic cancellation, they will get their full IRCTC ticket cancellation refund.

However, it has been found that after automatic IRCTC ticket cancellation, the refund hasn't been credited to passengers' accounts.
