New Delhi, October 2025: In a landmark move to enhance passenger convenience, Indian Railways has announced that starting January 2026, travellers will be able to reschedule the travel date of confirmed tickets online — a feature that eliminates the need for cancellation or rebooking.
This long-awaited feature, described as a “huge gift for the Janata,” aims to bring flexibility to millions of daily passengers who often face challenges when plans change at the last minute.
Under the new system, passengers can log in to the IRCTC website or mobile app and select a new date for their confirmed journey. The system will allow rescheduling without any additional charges.
Officials from the Ministry of Railways have confirmed that this update is part of a broader digital modernization initiative designed to make Indian Railways more passenger-centric and efficient.
With an annual ridership of over 8 billion passengers, the move is expected to significantly reduce the burden of cancellations and ticket rebookings.
The feature rollout will begin in January 2026, following pilot testing across select railway zones.
This initiative underscores Indian Railways’ commitment to “ease of travel” — combining tradition, technology, and trust to serve India’s ever-growing commuter base.
