CHANGES IN RESERVATION ON INTERNET THROUGH IRCTC

SOUTH EASTERN RAILWAY PRESS RELEASE

CHANGES IN RESERVATION on INTERNET THROUGH IRCTC

Kolkata, Feb.5, 2016 :

In order to facilitate genuine users and prevent touting activities, various checks have already been put in place for the booking of e-ticket/i-ticket o­n IRCTC website.

To further prevent any possible misuse, Ministry of Railways has now decided that effective from 15th February, 2016, a maximum of 6 tickets can be booked online by an individual user in a month on IRCTC website. This will replace the existing system under which a maximum of 10 tickets can be bookd o­nline through IRCTC website in a month by an individual. However, the existing condition will continue wherein these booking will be subject to a limit of booking 2 opening Tatkal tickets in 10:00-12:00 hours period in a day and 2 opening Advance Reservation Period(ARP) tickets in 08:00-10:00 hours period in a day.

This has been done keeping in view the analysis of usage of quota of 10 tickets which indicated that 90% of users are booking upto 6 tickets in a given month and only 10% are making more than 6 tickets.  It is suspected that the 10% users might be involved in touting activities.  Therefore to deter such touts and to facilitate genuine users, it has been decided that a maximum of 6 tickets can be booked by an individual user in a month.

Advance booking period for Train tickets reduced to 60 days

Advance booking period for Train tickets reduced to 60 days

New Delhi: Indian Railways has reduced advance booking period from four months to two months from May 1 as part of its efforts to prevent touts from cornering bulk of tickets.

The advance reservation period (ARP) for booking reserved train tickets will be reduced from existing 120 days to 60 days (excluding the date of journey) from May 1, according to a Railway notification issued today.

However, all the bookings done up to April 30 under the existing ARP of 120 days will remain intact.

“The reduction of advance reservation period to 60 days will be a deterrent for touts who book bulk tickets in advance. We hope the reduction of booking period will help genuine travellers,” a senior Railways official said.

“It has been found that passengers generally book their tickets two months in advance before the journey,” the official said.

However, cancellation of the booking made beyond the ARP of 60 days will be permitted. There will be no change in the case of ARP limit of 360 days for foreign tourists.

Currently, tatkal tickets are issued only on the production of self-attested photocopy of a valid identity proof. No agents are allowed to book tatkal tickets from 10 am to 12 pm over the internet.

Railways conduct regular raids at rail stations to keep a check on tout menace.
