You had made a reservation in a train but due to some reason now if a relative of yours has to travel and not you, then the confirmed ticket in your name can be transferred to your relative.
That means he can travel on your ticket. There are provisions for this in Indian Railways, but there are some special rules and conditions for this. If you follow these, then of course your relative can travel on your seat.
know the rules
Railway rules say that if you have a confirmed train ticket but are unable to travel, you can transfer it to your children or your spouse. Here one thing to understand is that a confirmed reservation ticket can be transferred only to another member of your family, i.e. father, mother, brother, sister, son, daughter, husband and wife, instead of you. You just have to meet the railway officials in advance to make this process hassle-free.
To transfer a ticket, you have to submit a transfer request at least 24 hours before the train departure time. If there are less than 24 hours left for the departure time and you are submitting a transfer request, it will not be accepted.
This is the process of transfer
First of all, for change of name on confirmed reservation ticket, you should go to the reservation counter of your nearest railway station with a printout of the electronic reservation slip and the photo identity proof mentioned in the electronic reservation slip. At this time, you should also have a valid ID proof of the relative who is travelling in your place. Provide proof of relationship with that relative at the counter. Submit a written application for ticket transfer, railway staff will help you in this.
There is provision for such passengers as well
Apart from relatives, ticket transfer can be done in some other categories as well. In this, if the passenger is a government employee and is on duty and there is appropriate authority, then the ticket can be transferred. If the passenger is a student of a recognized educational institution and the head of the institution requests in writing 48 hours before the scheduled departure of the train that the reservation made in the name of any student can be transferred to another student of the same institution.
