New rule for booking of online tickets through the IRCTC

Posted on: 29/Jan/2016 10:12:49 AM
A new rule for booking of online tickets through the IRCTC website has been announced by Railway ministry. Now the maximum number of ticket bookings allowed by an individual user is six from the current 10.The new rule is to further prevent any possible misuse by touts, the ministry said.
 
The provision will come into effect from February 15. This will replace the currently allowed 10 ticket bookings on the IRCTC website in a month by an individual. The ministry said that this has been done keeping in view the analysis of usage of quota of 10 tickets,  which indicated that 90 per cent of users are booking up to six tickets in a given month and only 10 per cent are booking more than six tickets during the period.
 
However, the existing condition will continue wherein these booking will be subject to a limit of two opening Tatkal tickets between 10.00 am-12.00 pm in a day and two opening Advance Reservation Period (ARP) tickets between 8am-10am in a day.
