Indian Railways: Indian Railways takes steps from time to time for the smooth travel of passengers. Now the Railways has taken a big decision regarding ticket reservation.
Passengers traveling by train will now be able to book tickets only up to 60 days in advance. This system is being started by the Railway Ministry from November 1. Currently, railway passengers can book train tickets 120 days in advance. This order has been issued by the Railway Ministry on Thursday.
In the order issued by the Railway Ministry, it has been said that currently passengers book reserved tickets 120 days in advance, but from November 1, this is being changed and this period is being reduced to 60 days. This will not affect the tickets booked till October 31 and passengers will be able to get tickets 120 days in advance. Passengers will also be able to cancel those tickets for which more than 60 days are left for departure.
This rule will not have any effect on day time trains like Taj Express, Gomti Express etc. The time limit will remain the same as before. Apart from this, this order will not affect foreign tourist trains as well. Booking can be done 365 days in advance in them.
If you have booked the ticket then what will be the impact?
Due to festivals like Diwali and Chhath, many people must have booked their tickets as soon as the reservation started. If you are also in this list, then there is no need to worry. Actually, this decision of the railways will not affect the tickets booked till October 31. That is, tickets for up to four months can be booked till the end of this month, but from November 1, tickets can be booked only for 60 days.
