If you have booked a ticket from IRCTC and now want to change the name of the passenger in it, then do not worry. IRCTC has made an easy process for this. Let's know how to change the name of the passenger in the booked ticket...

Train travel in India is not just a journey, but it is an experience that has beautiful views, diverse cultures, and a bundle of old memories. With millions of people relying on Indian Railways for travel every day, mistakes on tickets, especially spelling mistakes in the passenger's name, are common. Fortunately, IRCTC has made it easier than ever to solve these problems and now there is no need to stand in long queues.

If you have accidentally entered the wrong name while booking a train ticket or have to transfer the ticket to a close family member, then there is no need to worry. Indian Railways now allows passengers to correct or update their name on e-tickets. But keep in mind that this facility is only offered once per ticket, so use it wisely.

How to change your passenger name online: First, log in to your IRCTC account using your registered credentials. Find the "Change Boarding Point and Passenger Name Request" option on the dashboard. Download the request form, fill it out carefully, and upload it back to the platform. Once submitted, IRCTC will process the change.

How to change offline: Take a printout of the booked ticket. Visit your nearest railway reservation counter at least 24 hours before your train departure. Carry the original ID proof of one of the passengers on the ticket and a photocopy of the same. Request the counter officer to change the name or transfer the ticket to a family member.

This facility is especially helpful when another member of your family travels in place of the original passenger. Whether online or offline, the process is now simpler, faster and designed to make your travel smoother.
