When we buy a train ticket through 12306**, sometimes we need to refund the ticket for some reason. So, do I need to be deducted when I refund my ticket? What are the deduction criteria? This article will explain in detail the relevant provisions of 12306 refund fee deduction to help you better understand the calculation method of refund fee and avoid unnecessary losses.
First of all, let's make it clear that the standard of refund deduction is not fixed, but varies according to the time of refund. According to the clear provisions of 12306, the refund fee deduction is mainly divided into the following time periods:
1. Refund more than 8 days (inclusive) before departure: In this case, no handling fee will be charged for refund. This means that if your refund is more than 8 days before the train starts, then you can get a full refund without paying any additional fees.
2. Refund within 48 hours to 8 days before departure: A certain percentage of the refund fee will be charged for refunds within this time period. Specifically, the percentage of the handling fee is 5% of the ticket price. For example, if your ticket** is 100 RMB, you will need to deduct 5 RMB as a handling fee when you refund your ticket.
3. Refund within 24 hours to 48 hours before departure: The handling fee for refunds during this time period is relatively high, which is 10% of the fare. For example, if you want to refund a 100 yuan ticket, you need to deduct 10 yuan as a handling fee.
4. Refund within 24 hours before departure: This is the time period with the highest refund fee, and the handling fee ratio is 20% of the fare. In other words, if your ticket** is 100 yuan, you need to deduct 20 yuan as a handling fee when you refund the ticket.
In addition to the refund regulations during the above time period, there are some special circumstances that need to be noted. For example, if you change or change your arrival to another train between 48 hours and 8 days before the departure of your ticket, and refund your ticket within 8 days of the change or change of arrival, a 5% refund fee will still apply. In addition, if the fare of a new ticket is lower than the original ticket when you change your ticket or change your arrival, the difference will be charged as a refund fee, and the current refund fee will apply.
In order to avoid unnecessary losses, it is recommended that you try to make a good travel plan when buying train tickets and plan the refund time in advance. If you do need a refund, it's best to do so more than 8 days before departure to avoid paying additional fees. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the calculation method and standard of the refund fee, so that the fee to be paid can be accurately calculated when refunding the ticket.
It is of great significance to understand the relevant regulations of 12306 refund and deduction to avoid unnecessary losses and save travel costs. Hopefully, this article will help you better understand how refund fees are calculated and avoid unnecessary losses.
