Way to up the Revenue....120 ARP already makes so many cancellations possible. . This point looks a real tough thing "Those with waitlisted or RAC tickets would have to cancel their tickets half an hour before the train's actual departure to get some refund."
Motive is not only for making money, it will also allow thugs to think twice for holding unwanted tickets. Giving 30 minutes is ok, since chart is prepared 3-4 hrs before the actual departure of the train.
