"High demand and low availability of trains and technical glitches sometimes make it difficult for train users to get their preferred berth after making an online payment, which leads to automatic cancellation of the booking. The preauthorisation feature on ixigo trains app, in this scenario, will initiate instant refunds providing our users a hassle-free booking experience and will ensure user gets the money back in the account almost instantly."
