If your ticket is lost, you can get a duplicate ticket for the same journey from the ticket window. But, you have to keep in mind that you can get a duplicate ticket only on two conditions, either the ticket is confirmed or RAC i.e. Reservation Against Cancellation. In case of loss of ticket, you will have to pay a charge of Rs. 50 for sleeper category and Rs. 100 for the category above that for a duplicate ticket. On the other hand, if the ticket is cancelled, you may have to pay 25% of the ticket amount.
When will I get the ticket later?
Suppose you are not getting your ticket and the TT comes to check it. You have made a second ticket as per the rules and later you get the old ticket, then you do not have to worry. You can get a refund of the money you spent on making the duplicate ticket. For this you have to go to the counter and tell all your problems. Then after deducting 20 rupees or 5% amount, the remaining money is refunded to you.
If it takes time for you to duplicate the ticket and you are unable to travel due to some reason, then you can contact the TTE and tell him the whole matter. You can also return the ticket purchased from the counter and get a refund.
