How to File a Counter Ticket TDR?

Cancellation of paper tickets must occur at the PRS reservation system desk, the current booking counter, or the booking office counter.

Passengers can file a TDS for their counter-booked tickets by visiting the train station where they made the purchase.
They will be required to submit an application, a TDR filing form, and their original, unaltered travel ticket.
Claims must be submitted to the Chief Claim Officer / CCM Refund Officer.
