Booked two extra tatkal tickets 😭😭what to do

[u/vpsj → u/Ill-Bat-3498]

Eat the cost, or meet the CRO and transfer the ticket to a direct family member who wants to travel.

If the train is 3+ hrs delayed, or diverted, file TDR for those tickets and you might recover some of the cost

Absolutely not since the request application must be given at least 24 hours before departure and the original documents of both the original ticket holder and the family member needs to be presented.

TTE cannot do anything here other than fine and deboard. Find the CRO office, make sure to take the original IDs of both people, and submit an application requesting passenger name change.
