Railways should not charge cancellation fees on E-Tickets which do not get confirmed and automatically get cancelled. They should charge only for the tickets cancelled by passengers. This is unfair that Railways deduct charges for waitlisted tickets which are not confirmed after chart preparation. Can a mass petition in Supreme Court be filed for this? I urge members of Indiarailinfo to start a movement against Railways to remove cancellation charges on tickets not confirmed.

Dear Viswanath..do you think lodging a complain on IRCTC website will do anything? The Railways are not bothered. I have already raised this much before but nothing happened. Only the power of masses can force Railways to remove cancellation charges on tickets which get automatically cancelled. because i think that person who booked the ticket has not bookede the ticket to get it cancelled by Railways, but to travel on it. unfortunately Railways are taking undue advantage from passengers who neither get the seats nor the full amount paid, without any fault. Instead of compensating passengers, Railways deduct cancellation charges...why?
One option i can suggest... instead of making refund to passengers, railways can keep the amount with them and can adjust the amount for future transactions. this way passengers can save cancellation charges and railways do not have to process refunds. some other changes also be done, like.. if someone wants his/her money back, he can do so by asking IRCTC to refund the amount with some banking charges etc.
May be possible with double decker coaches, which can be add to the train as per wait list count instrad of canceling the tkt.250 strength per coach can be adjusted as per coach design.
But if they allow to travel by providing sitting ir can earn more profit due to sleeper charge for sitting.
