PTO’s tickets are issued on 1/3rd of the total basic fares and normal cancellation charge is applicable in these tickets also. Therefore in many cases ticket value on PTOs is less than the cancellation charges therefore passengers may or may not cancel the tickets therefore cancellation across IRCTC website may be allowed in the case of PTOs also.
What I feel, is that if you cancel through the counter it is better because at last you have to go the counter to collect the money. It is good for emergency purposes like you are in some hurry or busy in office and cannot go to the station counter or you are out of town and your parents are old so you want to cancel the ticket for them. For only these situations it is good. What you say?
