Cancellation of Passenger Train Services Extended up to 30-06-2025
Indian Railways cancels regular passenger service till 30th June 2025; to refund full amount
Railway Ministry has said that regular passenger service including Mail, Express, Passenger and Suburban Services have been cancelled until further advice. It said that all the booked tickets for the above trains for the period up to 30th June 2020 will be cancelled and full refund will be generated. However, the Shramik Special Trains and Special passenger Train services which started from 12th May of this month, shall continue to operate.
Railway has also issued order for the refund of fare in case passenger is not found fit for travel due to symptoms of corona. The order states that if during the screening a passenger has very high temperature and symptoms of corona virus, the passenger will not be allowed to travel despite having confirmed tickets. In such case, full refund will be provided to the passenger. Railway said that TTE certificate will be issued to the passengers at the entry, checking and screening point mentioning the number of passengers not travelled due to symptoms of Covid-19. After getting the TTE certificate, online TDR shall be filed for refund by the passengers within 10 days from the date of journey and the amount will be refunded.
It seems most credible reports—and official Railway Board orders—refer to the cancellation of all regular passenger train services up to 30 June 2025, not 2025. If you’re referring to operations during May–June 2025, there is no indication of a complete nationwide suspension of passenger train services during that period.
