Biggest change in train ticket booking rules..!!
A major change has been brought in the train ticket booking rule. The new regulation will come into effect from november 1. indian Railways has made a big announcement regarding ticket booking. The new regulation is effective from november 1. This rule has come as a shock to train passengers. This means that if you have booked a train ticket 120 days before traveling for so many days, you can no longer do so. Passengers traveling by train can now book train tickets only 60 days in advance. indian Railways announced the new norms on Thursday, october 17.
In a notification issued by the Ministry of Railways of India, there has been a change in the rules for booking train tickets. That is, the time limit for booking tickets has been reduced. The new rule will come into effect from november 1, while earlier booking of train tickets was done 120 days in advance. Accordingly, train reservation tickets for long-distance train journeys can be booked only 60 days in advance. The ticket booking option will also open with a validity of 60 days. Hence, train passengers cannot book ticket reservations long in advance.
Reservations for train journeys can be made at least 2 months in advance. This new rule will be disadvantageous for long-distance train passengers. Travelers who want to go to their hometown once a year or once in six months plan their trip to their hometown 120 days in advance i.e. four months in advance and book their train tickets. It will be easy for them to get tickets too. Now it will be difficult for long-distance commuters to get a reserved seat on the train with the new rule.


To book a train ticket, go to the irctc app or website. You must have a Login Account to log in to any app or website.
