IRCTC e-Ticket Refund If you have booked an e-ticket from the IRCTC website, the refund will come in the bank account / credit card / e-wallet of the customer from whom the payment has been made. If purchased, it can be canceled up to 72 hours after the scheduled departure of the train at any computerized reservation counter.

Passengers should remember that the entire amount of ticket refund is credited only when the train is canceled from the originating station to the destination station. Its information is shown on the PNR status of the passenger. In this case the refund is credited to the bank account of the passenger from whom the ticket has been booked. However, IRCTC deducts some cancellation charge from the refund if the passenger cancels the ticket on his own. Cancellation charges are different for each reservation category.
