Most people prefer trains for long distance travel. When we have to travel long distances, we make reservations in trains. Many times tickets are booked in haste on wrong dates. You don’t need to take any precautions if this happens to you. If the ticket is booked on the wrong date, you will not need to cancel the ticket. You can easily change the train ticket date.
Let us tell you that Indian Railways provides many types of facilities to its passengers. Railways also provide facility to passengers to change date of confirmed ticket. Apart from this, Indian Railways also offers the facility to passengers to transfer their tickets to another person under certain conditions. Railways have also made some rules for all these facilities.
Such tickets can be modified
Railways allows to change the name or date of travel in the ticket only to those passengers who have booked the ticket in offline mode. Meaning, if you have booked the ticket for reservation from the window counter, you can easily change the date. If you have booked tickets through IRCTC app or IRCTC website, you will not be able to make any changes.

For example, tickets can only be transferred to parents, siblings, sons and daughters or spouses. Apart from this, Railway Group also provides ticket transfer facility. If you have booked a ticket for an educational group tour, in such a case you have the facility to transfer tickets between group members.
