no dear no return for you
No, you can't get refund of your ticket as the duration up to which cancellations are allowed has expired long time back.. You should have immediately applied for cancellation after you couldn't board your train.. Its too late..
These clauses state the expiry period up to which cancellations can be made:- (these are only for cancellations to be made after departure of train).
1] Three hours, when the ticket is for a destination station up to 200 KM;
2] Six hours, when the ticket is for a destination station of more than 200 KM but up to 500 KM; and
3] Twelve hours , when the ticket is for a destination station of more than 500 KM.
You could have got a 50% refund after deduction of cancellation charges had you applied for the cancellation in time.. Please remember these next time..
