With affect from 1st April 2013, the ticket refund and cancellation charges have been revised. Read the Railways circular for more information.
Hilarious thing is that Railways calls it a clerkage charge, in truth when cancelling using IRCTC, it is the software which does all the work and no clerical help is required
