For partially confirmed train tickets in India (like on IRCTC), the cancellation charges depend on the status of each passenger on the ticket. Here’s a breakdown of how cancellation works in such cases:

🚆 What is a Partially Confirmed Ticket?

A ticket is partially confirmed when:

Some passengers on the PNR are confirmed.
Others are on the waiting list or RAC (Reservation Against Cancellation).

🧾 Cancellation Scenarios & Charges

✅ 1. Entire Ticket Cancelled (Before Chart Preparation)

Confirmed passengers: Charges are per IRCTC cancellation rules based on the time of cancellation:
- 48 hrs before departure: ₹240 (Sleeper), ₹200 (2S), ₹180 (2AC), etc.
- 12–48 hrs: 25% of fare.
- 4–12 hrs: 50% of fare.
- <4 hrs or after charting: No refund for confirmed tickets.
Waitlisted passengers: Full refund (₹0 cancellation fee).

🟠 2. Partially Confirmed Ticket Cancelled After Chart Preparation

Only waitlisted or RAC passengers will be automatically cancelled and refunded if:
- You did not travel (TTE did not allot seat).
- You file a Ticket Deposit Receipt (TDR) within up to 4 hours before the train departure or up to 3 hours after train departure.
Confirmed passengers: No refund after charting unless TDR is filed with valid reason (e.g., train late >3 hrs, coach not attached, etc.).

✅ 3. If You Travel with the Confirmed Passenger(s)

Waitlisted passengers are not allowed to travel.
If they travel, they’re considered without a valid ticket (liable for fine).
No refund will be given for waitlisted passengers who travel.

📌 How to Cancel Partially Confirmed Tickets

Log in to IRCTC
Go to “Booked Ticket History”
Select the PNR and choose “Cancel Ticket”
You’ll see charges applicable during cancellation.

💡 Tips:

For maximum refund, cancel before charting.
You can’t cancel confirmed passengers after chart preparation via IRCTC website.
Use TDR filing if needed (for specific refund cases).

If you provide the ticket status (e.g., how many confirmed vs waitlisted), I can give you an exact breakdown of expected charges or refund.
