TDR stands for Ticket Deposit Receipt. It is a process through which passengers can request a refund for their confirmed or RAC (Reservation Against Cancellation) tickets in case they were unable to travel due to some unforeseen circumstances. A TDR can be filed for various reasons such as train cancellations, train delays, or in case of any medical emergency. Once a TDR is filed, the refund amount is processed by the Indian Railways and credited back to the passenger’s account after deducting the applicable cancellation charges.
