Vande Bharat Sleeper: New Cancellation Rules, No Refund if Late by a Minute!
- •Indian Railways implemented stricter ticket cancellation rules for Vande Bharat Sleeper Express passengers from January 16, 2026.
- •Cancelling a confirmed ticket more than 72 hours before departure incurs a 25% charge, refunding 75% of the amount.
- •Cancellation between 72 and 8 hours before departure results in a 50% deduction; this also applies to Amrit Bharat II Express.
- •No refund is issued if a ticket is cancelled less than 8 hours before departure, or if a TDR is not filed on time.
- •Train travel prices increased from December 26, 2025, with additional charges for long distances and per-kilometer hikes for Mail/Express trains, while local and season tickets remain unchanged.
Why It Matters: New Vande Bharat Sleeper cancellation rules are strict; timely action is crucial for any refund.
