India's Ministry of Railways has announced stricter train ticket cancellation rules, with no refunds for cancellations up to eight hours before departure. The changes align with revised reservation chart preparation timings and will be implemented by mid-April. Passengers can now change their boarding point up to 30 minutes before the train's departure from origin.
