Bilkul nahin! TDR (Ticket Deposit Receipt) file karne ke बाद, your confirmed ticket pe travel nahi kar sakte.
Soch lo, TDR file karna basically yeh batana hai ki tum ticket ka refund chahte ho. TDR file karte hi, ticket ki reservation cancel ho jati hai.
Samajh lo ना, confirmed ticket matlab train mein guaranteed seat. Lekin, TDR file karne se reservation hi cancel हो जाती है, toh seat kahaan se hogi?
Isliye, TDR ke baad purani ticket pe travel karne ki koshish karoge, toh woh invalid ho jayegi aur tumhe boarding bhi nahi milne de sakte.
Agar plan change ho gaya hai aur ab travel karna hai, toh naya ticket lena padega, woh bhi agar seat available ho, toh.

What is TDR?
TDR stands for Ticket Deposit Receipt. It’s a way to claim a refund for your booked train ticket on Indian Railways.
When can I file a TDR?
You can file a TDR for several reasons, including:
Train cancellation by Indian Railways
Train delay exceeding a certain limit (typically 3-6 hours depending on distance)
Inability to travel due to the above reasons
Upgradation/downgradation denial with fare difference
AC malfunction in AC coaches (if applicable)
How do I file a TDR?
You can file a TDR online (for e-tickets) or offline (for paper tickets) depending on how you booked your ticket. There are specific timelines for filing, so check with IRCTC or Indian Railways for the latest rules.
What happens after I file a TDR?
Your confirmed reservation gets cancelled, and the refund process begins. It can take up to 90 days to receive your refund.
Can I travel on my confirmed ticket after filing a TDR?
No. Once you file a TDR, your reservation is cancelled, and the ticket becomes invalid for travel.
I filed a TDR but now want to travel. What should I do?
You’ll need to purchase a new ticket, subject to availability.
