Earlier, in an attempt to make the mechanism for a ticket refund more accessible to the general public, the Indian Railways has implemented a new One Time Password (OTP) based refund system.
According to the Indian Railway Catering & Tourism Corporation Limited (IRCTC), the step is aimed at making the mechanism for a refund of reserved e-tickets, that have been cancelled or dropped after being fully waitlisted, more transparent and customer-friendly.
An OTP will be received as SMS on the registered mobile number of the passenger. The new system is applicable to those e-tickets which are booked through IRCTC authorised agents only.
Under this new process, whenever a ticket booked through authorised IRCTC agent is cancelled by the customer or fully waitlisted dropped ticket, OTP SMS will be sent on Customer/passenger mobile number, which was provided by the customer/passenger to the agent at the time of booking along with the refund amount.
The passenger will then be required to share the OTP with the agent who booked the ticket, for getting the refund amount.
The OTP based refund process, according to IRCTC, will ensure more transparency in the system to the advantage of the customer. It is a user-friendly facility wherein the passenger will come to know about the exact refund amount received by the agent on his behalf against the cancelled ticket or the fully waitlisted dropped ticket.
