# Indian Railways offers ₹20 refund for missing AC bedroll 2026-08-09T04:47:40+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Passengers in Indian Railways AC coaches (1AC, 2AC and 3AC) can claim a ₹20 refund if they are not given the promised bedroll, bedsheet, pillow, towel and blanket. The bedroll is part of the ticket price for these classes, not an optional extra. To get the refund, passengers must first complain to the coach attendant, then follow a formal process and submit the claim at the destination station within a specified time. The rule does not apply to sleeper coaches, where bedroll must be requested and paid for separately on select trains. Many travellers are unaware of this distinction or the refund process, which Businesstoday.in reports is a little-known provision that can compensate for a missing blanket during the journey. ## Coverage - businesstoday.in This story was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
