Indian Railways — ticket cancellation charge

Address:	Kamrup Metropolitan, Assam, 781039
Website:	www.irctc.co.in,www.indianrail.gov.in

I booked ticket in train no.12423 through irctc dated 1st sept, 2017 (Pnr. [protected]). I also booked return ticket on train no. 12424, dated 2nd sept, 2017 ([protected]). The train 12423 was cancelled by railways due to flood situation in bihar, and full refund was provided for this ticket.

However, the train 12424 was not cancelled by railways. As i could not perform my travel on 1st sept, i was forced to cancel the return ticket manually for which irctc charged 25% charge.

Please note that the return ticket cancellation was not my wilful cancellation. It was the railways problem of cancelling the onward train for which i had to cancel the return ticket manually. So, cancellation charge should not have been taken from me for this ticket too.

So, i request you hereby for the needful to refund me the cancellation charge of ticket no. [protected] (Train no. 12424, dated 2nd sept). Else, give me the justification for which i do not deserve it.

Please tell me whether i cancelled the return ticket for my mistake/wish/convenience or i cancelled the ticket due to railways related action.

Regards,
Bikash
