Transfer your ticket to family members
A passenger's booked ticket can be transferred to any other family member, including his father, mother, brother, sister, son, daughter, husband, and wife. The passenger must request this at least 24 hours prior to the train leaving. Then after, the passenger's name is removed from the reservation and replaced with the identity of the person to whom the ticket has been given.
Request must be made in advance
If the passenger is a government employee on his way to work, they can request that their ticket be switched to the other person for whom the request has been made in 24 hours prior train leaves.
