Indian Railways - TDR - Ticket Deposit Receipt

If you missed your train or the train is cancelled or traveled without valid ID proof and charged by TTE, then there is a last hope to get a full refund of your ticket.

File a TDR from IRCTC site with in 30 days from the date of travel and there is a fair amount of chance that you get full refund with in 90 days from the day TDR is filed. I said fair amount of chance because, the TTE needs to note that the passenger had not traveled in case one missed their train.

The rules and procedure is given in IRCTC site. Here is the link TDR.
The Cleartrip.com also offers railway booking and note that for the tickets booked from Cleartrip one can file a TDR from Cleartrip only. Here is the page which provides a link for Cleartrip TDR.

I missed my train last week and just filed a TDR. I will update this post with my TDR Status and refund status.
