IRCTC Waiting List Cancellation Charges for Train Tickets:
Waiting List is categorized into different type (i.e.) waiting list (WL), CKWL, RKWL etc…If you want to know more about the Waiting list categories then individual categories then here is an ultimate guide to know about the Waiting List Meaning & Chance of Confirmation for the waiting list. People are still booking in the Waiting list because when confirm tickets get cancelled, the waiting list tickets will get confirmed to them.
For your information the chance of confirmation & the cancellation of the waiting list reserved train tickets purely depend upon the day and the waiting list number. If you are on the top of the queue in the waiting list 1 to 5 then waiting list tickets will not get cancelled and it automatically get confirmed. Also it depends on the day, if it is normal days the chance of confirmation of waiting list are higher and if it’s a festival day then sure your waiting list railway train tickets will get cancelled.
When waiting list cancelled, railway passengers worried about their travel and also their cancellation charges, about the cancelled amount refund? Also their not sure about when the waiting list cancelled charges will be refunded to their bank account? Here is the information for the people who search for the IRCTC waiting list cancellation charges for their train tickets.
There are two types of cancellation in the waiting list
- Manually cancelling the train ticket
- Automatically cancellation by IRCTC
Manually Cancellation: People go to Indian Railway website (i.e.) IRCTC and cancel the ticket directly by clicking on “Cancel ticket”’. If you do manually cancellation then the cancellation charges will be taken. The cancellation charges are taken irrespective of normal or Tatkal ticket.
Automatic Cancellation: Automatic cancellation means when the charts are prepared, the waiting list ticket will get automatically cancelled if it is not confirmed. At the Indian Railway IRCTC automatically cancel the waiting list and you are not allowed to travel in the train.
Important Note: We highly recommend on automatic cancellation because the refund amount (i.e.) the Waiting list cancellation charges are much lower. Don’t rush up and cancel the ticket immediately after it goes to waiting list. Just wait for few days booking keep watching periodically on the status of train ticket that you have booked. If it is increasing gradually on the waiting queue then don’t cancel the ticket. If it’s not confirmed then your railway tickets will get automatically cancelled as said earlier
You can find the exact cancellation amount of both type of details in the below table
| Class of Travel | Cancellation Charges & Cancellation Type | |||
| Automatic | Manual | |||

I booked 3 tickets for RS 430 approx , I manually cancelled the e-ticket as it was in waiting list above WL-40.
But I only got RS 230 as refund money. IRCTC is collecting service tax and online charges extra, then why they are taking this huge cancellation charge, what is the purpose. After all it is not a confirmed ticket. Does IRCTC needs any manpower to cancel this tickets and to make note of them, no its all done by the computer. Are they collecting these cancellation charges for server maintenance or for Internet billings.Some stupid rules and loudly saying we are the biggest networks.
