I booked a ticket for 5 passengers and applied for HO..
SR official were kind but not so kind. They honored my request and allotted one berth by HO, as it was highly impossible for us to undertake journey with one patient to travel in one berth, so we decided to cancel it b4 chart preparation as nit was an e-ticket....
more...

it was in my that it will deduct 50% of fare for confirm passenger as it was less than 4 hrs to train depart but it deducted only Rs 20/- per head. So against a ticket of 3005/- , i got a refund of Rs 2895/- (Rs 10/- IRCTC service Charge)
I had cross checked with railway official about this and they said - "An e ticket partially confirmed by HO, cancelled before chart preparation will effect only Rs 20/- per head, whereas a PRS ticket will give same till schedule departure of train i.e. Rs 20/- per head, if it got partially confirm by HO."
.
Hope this information will help others also.
