  1. Hi, I have booked a few tickets on IRCTC online using my credit card. Now I want to cancel a couple of tickets. But when I log in and go to booked tickets, I could see only a couple of tickets for which the journey was completed already. I could not see the other tickets. I understand that only when I get the tickets under booked tickets, I can select the ticket and get it cancelled. So I have an issue. My journey dates are April 30 and May 7. How do I go about it and get both the tickets cancelled? Please help me.

    First Are you sure that you have booked the ticket with this same login id ? Second Do you have any message in mobile phone for the ticket booked with PNR number ? If you know the PNR of the Booked then try searching with the PNR number. Also by default IRCTC will show only 5 tickets in the first page. so click on next button on the booked history page to see the other tickets you have booked.

  3. I booked my train tickets online . Now during my cancellation, it says “You have not booked any train ticket”. The train ticket should be cancelled for 19 September. Please guide me to cancel my train ticket.
