Dear @vijayakumar_vijayala

Your concern regarding higher cancellation charges (₹125) for digital payments versus ₹20 for cash while rescheduling train reservations is valid. This discrepancy arises due to how transactions are categorized in the IRCTC system. We recommend submitting your suggestion directly to Indian Railways via **[pgportal.gov.in](http://pgportal.gov.in)** under the “Ministry of Railways” section or emailing **[care@irctc.co.in](mailto:care@irctc.co.in)** for software correction and policy parity.
