Railways: Indian Railways' big announcement, now Tatkal rule will be applicable on reservation tickets too..

Confirming seats in trains has become a big headache in the present times. The biggest reason for this is the fraud in ticket booking. Due to this, needy people are not able to get tickets. Now, to stop this fraud, the railways are going to make a big change. Now the Indian Railway is going to apply the same rules on booking reservation tickets, which are currently applicable to Tatkal tickets. This rule is coming into effect from October 1. Let us also tell you what kind of change the Indian Railway is going to make in ticket reservation.

This big change has happened.
Indian Railways will be able to book tickets in the first 15 minutes after the reservation window opens from October 1, only for those people whose Aadhaar verification has already been done. This rule will be applicable on both the IRCTC website and mobile app. Till now, this rule was applicable only for Tatkal tickets; now the railways are going to expand it. An official statement said that the purpose of this step is to ensure that the benefits of the reservation system reach the real users and to prevent misuse by unauthorized or dishonest agents. Also, it has been said that the new rule will apply exclusively to online booking through the website of the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) and its mobile app.

The system will be strengthened.
The statement said that the existing restriction preventing authorized ticket agents from booking tickets during the first 10 minutes of reservation on the first day will continue. The time and process of booking through the Computerized Reservation System (PRS) counters will remain unaffected. The statement further said that this step will strengthen the online ticketing environment and, at the same time, reduce fraudulent booking. The Railways has said that to implement this necessary change, instructions have been issued to the Center for Railway Information System IRCTC to make technical changes. Along with this, zonal railway officials have also been instructed to issue guidelines and ensure compliance with the rules.
