See IRCTC tweet below:

IRCTC informed about the advice through its official twitter handle citing, "Doubts have been raised regarding cancellation of e-tickets subsequent to the cancellation of the passenger trains. It may be submitted that the trains cancelled by railway in its complete run, refund on e-ticket is full and automatic. In this case, no cancellation exercise is required to be done on the part of users. If the user cancels his e-ticket in the situation of train cancellation, there are chances he may get less refund. Hence, passengers are advised not to cancel e-tickets on their own for those trains that have been cancelled by the railways."
