The Indian Railways had earlier cancelled all trains until April 14 when the lockdown ends. Prime Minister Narendra Modi had announced a 21-day nationwide lockdown on March 24, as part of the government’s efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19.
IRCTC had also said that since this a large-scale cancellation with no precedence in the past, the processing of refunds may take some time due to the huge number of transactions. Hence, the refund will be made into accounts of users within four to seven working days following journey dates of the trains cancelled.
